It was a very nice tour. Dennis explained a lot to me, and I learned a great deal about Hong Kong and life in this city. It was fun walking through the streets with him, riding the tram, and sampling some of the local delicacies. Thank you.

Very interesting experiences, getting to know the nightlife of Athens. Its narrow streets full of typical local shops, with large murals painted with graffiti by local artists, restaurants, and nightclubs with unique and colorful decor. Michaël, the tour guide, was very helpful and took me to non-touristy areas to show me how the locals live. To conclude the tour, we arrived at a panoramic viewpoint that only locals know about, where you can see the city from the opposite side. This was the icing on the cake, it was really beautiful. I recommend this tour if you want to see something different from what is usually offered to tourists.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
