What travelers think of our Australia experiences

Helen 7 January 2026

Had a really great tour with our tour guide Ling. She showed us lots of places off the beaten track that we wouldn’t have found on our own and really personalised it to our own interests. She was very informative about the local area and recommended places for us to eat and visit later in our trip. All in all a wonderful experience and well worth the money.

Robert 6 January 2026

We loved the informality of a tour designed just for us. We loved hiking on the Bradleys Head walking track, which is something that a normal tour would not have done.

Debra 31 December 2025

Our guide, Rhonda, was amazing. She knew so much about Melbourne and took us to all parts of the city. She was professional, personable and knowledgeable. Very highly recommend her. We had so much fun! Plus she communicated well via email prior to the tour.

Keith 28 December 2025

Michael was excellent. He was informative and insightful. We were able to pack in sightseeing a lot in just 2 hours.

David 26 December 2025

Mike was a fantastic guide. He reached out ahead of time to introduce himself, find out our interests, and confirm the most convenient meeting point. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our interests and energy levels after our long flight from California. Thanks Mike!

Robert 23 December 2025

Excellent presentation very prompt arrival. Only tour to get local and insider knowledge. John assisted us on Metro to get back to our hotel. Could not have done this without his help. Highly recommend this tour in Sydney.

Everyday Life in Motion

Laneways and local rhythm

You might wander through arcades like London Court or Wolf Lane, watching Perth’s café culture and workday flow. Some guests pause to explore shops, while others prefer to keep moving and take in the daily atmosphere.

A Theme That Fits You

Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

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.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Are there fitness, mobility, or accessibility requirements?

This is a walking experience, but it can be tailored to suit your pace and comfort. If you have mobility concerns or would prefer to minimize walking, let us know in advance—your host can adjust the route, include public transport or rest stops to suit your needs.

Great!!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private walking tour of Mexico City, led by Nick, who was exceptional. Nick guided us through the historic centre with incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. We visited the major churches and learned in depth about the city’s layered history, including the Aztecs (Mexica), whose ancient city lies beneath modern Mexico City. It was fascinating to learn how colonial buildings were constructed directly over the original pyramids and sacred sites, creating the extraordinary cityscape that exists today. The tour covered Mexico City’s rich cultural evolution, from its Indigenous roots through colonial times, and into the Art Deco period. Nick explained the different architectural styles beautifully and brought the history to life in a way that was both educational and engaging. You truly begin to appreciate just how old, complex, and vibrant this city is. To finish the experience, Nick took us to lunch in one of the historic buildings in the city centre, which was the perfect way to conclude the day — relaxed, authentic, and steeped in atmosphere. This tour was informative, thoughtfully paced, and genuinely exciting. If you want to understand Mexico City’s history, culture, and architecture on a deeper level, I highly recommend booking a tour with Nick

Our guide met us at our flat and we grabbed the train to Windsor. She made it a great day, seeing all of Windsor Castle and shopped the fun town. Christmas lights were awesome and we finished the day enjoying Afternoon Tea at Sir Christopher Wren Hotel on the river.
