Review from Natalie
Donatella was wonderful! A host whose personal life experience raised in Naples brought our tour alive. She was attentive to our concerns, (I’m a slow walker) and so helpful with our meet up. Her knowledge of the areas, and history of the city was very informative. She was kind and sweet. Thank you!

Istanbul Private Walking Tour: Highlights & Gems with a Local
I was on a solo layover and only had a few hours to see Istanbul. I had no idea what to expect and on the way from the airport I had an uncomfortable experience with a taxi cab driver who was not being honest. Not knowing the language, I didn’t know what to do so I called Ipek. She asked to be put on the phone with him and afterward he turned kind, and changed the fee, etc., I had not even met Ipek yet, and she helped me to feel supported and safe going above and beyond! On the tour she was lovely, knowledgeable. We made the most of our time in her magical city. I highly recommend her as a tour guide!

See Taipei With A Local: Private & Personalized
This was a last minute decision on my part & I’m glad I did it. I was in Taipei for work & only had a few hours to spare before I flew out. I was matched with a lovely local girl called Charlotte. I loved how the walk was tailored to my interests. Everywhere she took me it was things I was interested in. Charlotte is a really friendly personable girl, so easy to ask her questions & have a great conversation with her, I really appreciated her local knowledge but also her bright bubbly personality. Such a great way to see a city being guided by a local, I thoroughly recommend it!

Paris Walking Tour with a Local Guide: Private & 100% Personalized
I went to Paris with my parents as a graduation trip. Côme was our guide and he was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable about the city and brought us to great sightseeing/picture spots. He gave a great lunch spot recommendation. He even helped us set up our metro cards and took a ride with us so we could get the feel of what the metro was like. Definitely wear sneakers or good walking shoes! We had a great time with Côme!
