What your experience could look like
Think: Saturday morning with Mayu at the Osaka market she actually shops at. Or three hours in Paris with Clovis, starting at the bakery he goes to every day.

What Makes It Different
Not a tour with a local twist. A private experience shaped around you, so you leave knowing the city, not just seeing it.
Your host is matched, not assigned.
We learn how you travel before we introduce you to anyone. Your host knows what matters to you before you even meet.More like a friend showing you around
No script, no group, no set route. Just someone who genuinely lives in the city, sharing it the way they actually know it.The whole experience is yours to shape
Start time, pace, neighbourhood, focus: food, history, hidden streets, whatever pulls you. You set the agenda, your host makes it happen.What Excites You Most?

Straight From Our Guests’ Experiences
Here's what happens when the right host meets the right traveller.
Anna was no regular 'tour guide'. She is warm and personal and I felt that we very quickly became two friends just walking around the city together.
She is now a small part of what turned out to be the most magical trip of my life.

Because of Aki we met many people we wouldn't have otherwise been able to talk with… helped a shop owner with her English signs, got free octopus to try… went bar hopping to izakayas where there was absolutely no English. It is because of Aki that Osaka was our favorite of the five cities we visited.
M
The only way to even get close to the culture of a place is by a personal tour… We asked for 'slice of life' and we believe that's exactly what we got.
K
It was like spending the day with an old friend. She was so flexible and gracious. She truly made it all about us with no personal agenda at all.

The Personalization Form
Before every experience, we ask the questions that matter, so your host arrives already knowing how you travel.
When your host actually lives there
You don't end up in tourist restaurants. You don't follow a coach route. You don't tick off the same twelve sights as everyone else.
You end up where locals go, supporting the places that make a city worth visiting, and seeing it in a way that leaves it exactly as you found it.
That's not a policy. It's just what happens when the right person shows you around.
