Our friends in the countries we've traveled to have given us a profound understanding of their city's spirit and soul. Seeing a city through a local lens makes it so much more than a destination; it becomes a second home. These intimate connections with people and places around the world are what we want to replicate for you with our diverse network of incredible hosts from all ages and backgrounds. Between them, we'll find your perfect match – consider us your friend in the city.

Muy bien ! Ir con un guía japones en Japón es otra cosa. Sabe cosas "locales". Mami fue muy atenta desde mucho antes de llegar a Japón preguntando que nos interesaba ver para asi armar mejor el recorrido. El manejo de su ingles es bastante bueno, cosa que no se encuentra de manera frecuente en Japón. Recomiendo mucho a Mami ! Very well! Going with a Japanese guide in Japan is something else. He knows "local" things. Mami was very attentive long before arriving in Japan asking what we were interested in seeing in order to better build the route. The command of his English is quite good, which is not often found in Japan. I highly recommend Mami !

We booked the 2 hour walking guide. We were very flexible with what the guide has planned for us. If you are looking for an experience through Kyoto through the eyes of a local, then this is the tour to book. In 2 hours, our guide managed to squeeze in Kyoto Tower view and explained how to use the subway and bus. So this is a must for first-timers in Kyoto. We walked through the Nishiki market and Shinkyogoku. By far the best tour guide. Thank you Taibi

When we met, my guide offered essentially three different options based upon my answers to the questionnaire. We also discussed my interests and plans while in Berlin. After selecting the second option, my guide further customized the itinerary to prevent overlap with other tours I had planned. All this led to a solid private tour experience. Would definitely recommend.

To say that this tour was great only would be an understatement. The way that I described the experience to Giwon was that it was like finally getting the chance to visit a friend who you’ve been promising to visit. She was extremely accommodating and made the entire experience great for us from start to finish. She took us to all the great spots and added a few hidden gems. We laughed most of the night, and couldn’t help but offer to keep in touch, given how well everything went. Giwon is simply amazing and my recommended guide.
