We spent a great morning on beautiful August day with Chloe on 3 hour walking tour. Chloe arrived early to our meeting spot and was easy to find, she was very knowledgeable with a friendly and sunny disposition. The three hours passed quickly as we walked and toured through the various Brussels neighborhoods.

Naveen started a little early and lead us to the most amazing food in the Victoria market, pork mince meat sandwich it was so amazing with the specialty mustards provided, he lead us around Munich and gave all the history and background on each location we went to, we were able to experience more while following him than we. Would have been able to do if we were just walking around. We were especially greatful to get the most amazing photos he took of our group of 4. Thank you Naveen for the most amazing tour of Munich, Germany.

FAQs
Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour?
No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.
What if I don’t know what I want to explore?
That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.
Can I request specific places to visit?
Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.
Can I change the meeting place?
Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.
Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?
Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.
How much walking is involved?
This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
Can my host meet me at my accommodation?
Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
