Tokyo: Private Custom Insider Tour with a Local Host
The flexibility to choose the places we visited. We didn\'t have any plans and she made them for us.
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.
London Day Tour with a Local Guide: Private & Tailored to Your Interests
Ana Maria was my guide and she was amazing. She really understood what I liked and brought me to many places to experience local culture and iconic sights. She knew all the fun facts and history and I learned so much more than expected. The tour totally took the planning off my hands and I can fully enjoy the experience without figuring out directions. For a first time London visitor, this walking tour gave me a great run down of all the iconic sites and off the beaten path local scene. Highly recommended!
Private Singapore Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
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.
Private Kyoto Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, Personalised
We could not have had a better guide as Ceci. She gave us a very complete and comprehensive all over Kyoto. It was a walking tour and we used taxi and public transportation to go to the attractions. I think that 8 hr tour gave us a very wide insight of the city. The best part of our tour was the pleasant companion of Ceci. Totally recommended.
Marlin did a fantastic. Were very impressed.
Seoul Highlights & Hidden Gems Tours by Locals: Private + Custom
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.

Munich Walking Tour: Private Highlights & Hidden Gems by a Local
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.
Osaka Private Food Tours by Local Foodies: 100% Personalized
We loved the Osaka Food Tour. My son and I have serious & different food allergies, so this was a safer way to experience several of the food markets in Osaka. Fumiko, our guide, was the absolute BEST!
Private Singapore Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
This was our first trip to Singapore. Our tour guide, Colin, was truly exceptional. He demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about Singapore and its history, which added so much value to the experience. Colin\'s insights were not only educational but also engaging, making our tour both enjoyable and memorable. Colin\'s passion for the city was evident, and his ability to convey information in an interesting way enhanced our appreciation for Singapore.
Discover Your Tokyo: A Full Day, Your Way
We had a fantastic full-day tour with Nobu. He planned out a thoughtful itinerary for us, taking into account our interests. He was particularly knowledgeable about culture and history. We couldn\'t have had a better experience in Tokyo. Recommend 100%!
Private Hong Kong Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
We were very fortunate to have Dennis as our guide for three hours and he showed us so many cool things in Central. Dennis is a super kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable person and our tour went way too fast. He has such detailed knowledge of Hong Kong and its history and that made the tour even more valuable. I recommend booking a tour with Dennis; he was great!
Singapore Street Food Tour with a Local: A Feast for Foodies 100% Personalized
We did the tour with Sharon. Her knowledge and expertise were brilliant. We had a great time despite being very tired from jet lag. The right mix of food and history. My only suggestion would be to have individual small tasting serves of the food rather than sharing big serves (we had too much) - appreciate that that mat be hard to organise with the vendors. Tour is highly recommended.
Uncover the Layers of Hong Kong: A Flexible Full-Day Exploration
We had an amazing day with Benny. He really covered so many of the highlights of Hong Kong that we wanted to see. We went all over the Hong Kong side and Kowloon side. We used every type of public transportation including the peak tram, bus, tram, metro and star ferry. It was the best introduction to Hong Kong that we could ask for. Even after our very full day, he helped us plan the next 2 days of our stay and provided us with detailed information about the other attractions that we wanted to see including detailed directions for the metro (with the correct numbered exit from each station). He gave opening times for the museums that we wanted to go to (and fortunately let me know ahead of time that the history museum was closed on Tuesday when we were planning on going. We also did an evening food tour with him which was great as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Emilio was wonderful. I went to a fish market I would not have gone to had he not taken me. I got to try Soup Curry from one of his favorite places. He also gave me some recommendations for craft beer in Sapporo. We walked all over and saw so many sights. It was so efficient having him as a guide. Emilio is really friendly to talk to as well. Highly recommend!
Ceci was a wonderful guide! Easygoing and helpful and full of fun facts. We all agreed our day with her was a top highlight of our trip. Thank you Ceci!
