Barcelona Highlights & Hidden Gems: Private Tour with a Local
Federico was amazing. Was able to tailor my experience to my specific desires, and spent 3 hours explaining history with clarity and appropriate level of detail. He was great, and the walk was great exercise! We went non-stop for 3 hours. Highly recommend

Bea was a fantastic guide. She was warm and engaging. She\'s bright and very knowledgeable. She has an artist\'s soul so it was easy to connect while she shared some of her favorite places in Rome. She was also very flexible regarding the itinerary. It was an exceptionally hot day so the plan we initially laid out had to be adjusted. She pivoted like a pro, without complaint. Ask for Bea if you want an intelligent (she knows German and Chinese!) guide who radiates warmth and personality.

My tour with Delia was a great balance of information, conversation, time for my questions—we covered a lot of ground but the time seemed relaxed. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and an ideal guide for someone who wants to know about London’s history as well as current life in the city.

Four wonderful hours with Elettra! She paid close attention to what we requested in the survey and read our responses and interests carefully. If a tourist would be disturbed by less than perfect English, Elettra wouldn’t be the right guide, but she was perfect for us!

Dennis was very nice and thoughtful, making sure that we're okay and that we're enjoying the tour according to our preferences. He's also really knowledgeable about everything Hong Kong. The food and places we visited and he recommended are excellent. He even took pictures of us which helped us create memories. We enjoyed the tour a lot thanks to Dennis.

Hong Kong Layover Tour with a Local: 100% Personalized & Private
Benny, our tour guide, was excellent! He met us at the airport early because we arrived ahead of schedule. He made sure we safely boarded all of transport including the high speed trains and double decker buses. We saw so much of Hong Kong in such a short period of time. We even went to a delicious Vegetarian restaurant. I highly recommend this tour and Benny should you have a long layover or if you are staying in the area for a while.
