We loved the tour, it was exactly what we were looking for. Dodging the main tourist stream, but still soaking up the full experience! A lot of insights of the city, culture and history.

Gab provided great communication from initial discussion of the itinerary all the way through the actual tour. Everything was clear, timely, and professional, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable for my clients. I would love for him to host all future clients who visit Tokyo.

K'Kae completely personalised the tour. She combined our wish list with some excellent additional suggestions, letting us discover parts of Bangkok we hadn't previously seen. She had a clear passion to share her home town and added lots of additional details that made the day very memorable.

Porto Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems with a Local
Mayinka was an absolute delight! Her love for Porto and knowledge of all the hidden gems made this experience one that would make anyone fall in love with Porto just as she did long ago. It’s wonderful to see Porto thru her eyes and go to places that support locals as well as artists too!

Le Marais Private Walking Tour with a Local, Explore its Old World Charm
I visited the Marais district with a friend on November 21, 2025. We took a 2-hour walking tour with our guide, Flora. A big thank you to Flora, who is a very friendly, professional, and helpful guide. Flora showed us hidden gems in this unique neighborhood with very interesting explanations. I highly recommend Flora to visitors looking to explore Paris. Christiane

I had a wonderful day visiting Kamakura with Ack. It was great to get out of the city & I would definitely recommend Kamakura as a destination as it was a lot more relaxed than Tokyo. Ack was a great host providing lots of information & making the day very easy and relaxing for me.

I spent my first full day in Tokyo with Noah - he was fantastic at introducing me to the city from helping me sort out a railcard and understand the metro map to taking me around a few key sights in an informative and relaxed way. Definitely recommend if it is your first time to Tokyo and want a little local help to start so you aren’t too overwhelmed!

Kyoto City Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Custom Tour with a Local
A super tour, with a good mix of culture and street food/market. Austen was a great guide who speaks excellent English, guided us competently, and helped us with shopping. It was a great introduction to/in Kyoto that we never could have achieved on our own with just \"onboard resources\".

Secret gems of Kanazawa
I was skeptical at first as I had already walked around and seen a few sights but the inside knowledge of Kanazawa along with many experiences you cannot do yourself. I would not hesitate to book this type of experience in any city I went to. Kanazawa is a favourite after going to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

He was enthusiastic, professional, attentive, shared engaging information and stories, facts and other details that kept us interested all morning. If you get Roy, you will be in for a great tour.
