How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Get acquainted with the rhythm of larger-than-life São Paulo on a half-day adventure along its buzzing streets, like its social center Paulista Avenue, adorned with landmarks and skyscrapers. Framed by palm trees and flanked by gothic towers awaits the Catedral de Sé, perched on a hive of local activity, near neoclassical Palácio da Justiça and a postcard-pretty law school. See where a city park sometimes turns into a stage for protests in the fountain-filled Vale do Anhangabaú, before heading downtown to see the largest building in the city, and to take note of a fried coxinha hotspot to try later. End the day soaking up the quirky street art of hip neighborhood Vila Madalena or discover a little corner of Japan along the lantern-hung streets of São Paulo

Agnes was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history and current status of Buda/Pest and Hungary as a whole. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, which was Pest side only, and covered it all in the 4 hours we reserved. We recommend requesting Agnes and will seek her out when we return to explore the Buda side.

This was a great private tour of Singapore that incorporates walking as well as use of the train. Our guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable, and he customized as he learned more of what interested us. It was very hot, but he incorporated stops to cool off and get water.

My guide today Steve and I had the best time. We visited places which I wouldn't know about and I learn so much about the history of each place that we passed. Steve was patient with my questions and constant photo-taking, imparted his knowledge in a simple, systematic and witty manner. Lunch was a comforting and delicious meal and the dessert he bought was so delicious! I was so touched that Steve stayed back the tour ending time to wait for me to finish my dessert. It was so easy having a conversation with him. I am really happy that I signed up for this tour and grateful that Steve was my guide.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Munich, it's architecture, history and local areas where few tourists would find. Anna was a wonderful person to walk with. Felt comfortable with her immediately. Would highly recommend her to all future visitors.
