What travelers think of our Traditions & Heritage experiences in Europe

Beverly 18 August 2025

We loved being guided through the various neighborhoods, some of which we probably would not have ventured to on our own.

Jennifer 17 August 2025

Great!

Daniel 17 August 2025

Cem was absolutely wonderful. His enthusiasm, energy, local knowledge and obvious love for his home city made our tour with him truly memorable.

Mary 17 August 2025

We loved our tour of Monmartre with Pascal. The tour was fun and hit all of the spots where artists lived and painted. We stopped in the area center and bought lovely watercolor pieces to take home. I highly recommend.

Sarah 16 August 2025

Mat provided a beautifully customized tour of Munich for us as first time visitors. He took us to city highlights and off the beaten path locations. We learned history, fun facts and so much about the people of Munich and how they compare to other regions of Germany. There was never a dull moment during our six hour walking tour. Mat is a wealth of knowledge - history, culture, political and social topics. He also made the BEST restaurant recommendation for our dinner that night. It was the highlight of our trip.

Marc 16 August 2025

My parents and I did a 3 hour tour with Daniela. It was fantastic. She showed us a ton of cool stuff and gave us a completely new appreciation for Naples. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and answered a ton of our questions to include specific dates, locations and explaining what we were seeing. Daniela's English was excellent, she was exactly on time, and she was flexible showing us what we wanted to see. I highly recommend doing a tour with her.

Meeting point

Kongens Nytorv, Kongens Nytorv, 1050 Indre By, Denmark

Folk Memory at Copenhagen Cathedral

Where resistance and ritual quietly endure

Traditions of Copenhagen: Crafts, Rituals & Resistance

Inside a calm cathedral, stories of tradition and quiet courage unfold. Outside, you might follow a trail once walked by tradespeople, marked by symbols and seasonal rituals. Some guests light a candle. Others keep walking, tracing memory through the streets.

A Courtyard Behind Closed Doors

A quiet space where the past still lingers

Down an ordinary lane, a plain doorway might lead somewhere unexpected. Inside, things seem to move slower, sounds, scents, and gestures hint at long-held ways. Some guests pause to take it in. Others wonder, quietly, how long it's been this way.

The Living Legacy of Christiania

Tradition shaped by resistance and reuse

This neighborhood may feel unconventional, but its roots run deep, communal values, passed-down skills, shared rituals. You might wander past painted walls or pause near a fire pit where stories are still told. Some guests reflect. Others ask what’s changed.

Optional Close: Overlooking the Ramparts

A still moment to take it all in

If the mood calls for it, your host might suggest a quiet final stop, an open view where the city seems to exhale. Some guests settle into the hush. Others trace what they’ve seen, letting the day’s layers linger a little longer.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. 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.

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 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..

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 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.

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.
