What others say

Amazing, knowledgeable, personable - the best!
Nisa was flexible and well planned at the same time. She was a delight to spend the day with!
100% Personalized Tour
Taiga was a fun and engaging guide. He communicated with us before so that we had a plan by the time we met. We made efficient use of our time together. We especially enjoyed Taiga’s personality and sense of humor. I would definitely recommend Taiga for future tours in Kyoto and the surrounding areas.
Taiga took good care of us and explained Japanese culture well.
We had a really nice time with Taiga, he walked at our pace and gave us lots of insights and tips about Japan.
Well researched and informative guide
Sho had gone to a lot of trouble to research the brief we had given him. We enjoyed seeing Kanazawa with his translations and friendly conversations. Thank you!!
An outstanding guide.
We had a wonderful tailored tour. We saw some amazing sights , learned some interesting hostory and facts about Japan and had just a wonderful food experience.
Saw so much with so little time!
Charlotte was delightful, knowledgeable, and made sure I was able to experience as much as was possible, including a few treats along the way.
Nisa was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Having Nisa as a guide was like having a good show you around. And she was great with our kids!
Foodie experience!
This was a great way to sample lots of different foods that are characteristic of Osaka. Fumiko took us to several destinations to try different local foods, such as Kobe beef on a skewer, cabbage pancakes, octopus balls, and numerous other local foods. We ended the tour in the Dontonbori district, which was a great way to glimpse Osaka nightlife. If you are curious about local street food this is the tour for you!
molto gentile, disponibile e preparato
Paul ci ha raggiunti in una posizione diversa dal convenuto senza problemi. Ci ha proposto un tour molto interessante e ha avuto particolare riguardo delle nostre difficoltà sia con la lingua che motorie, venendoci incontro nel modificare il programma in base alle nostre esigenze.
Knowledge of history and personality
Very positive, informative and flexible. Excellent guide!
Rafa was an excellent guide who catered to our requests.
She was knowledgeable and took us to some out of the way hidden gems in the city. We enjoyed her company too!
One of the greatest days in Rome
Francesca was great. She arrived early to pick me up from my hostel. She was really careful to show me special places while giving me an insight into how it feels to truly love Rome, to understand the ways it became what we see and experience today. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Gianmarco is an excellent guide!
Our tour was wonderful! Gianmarco is enthusiastic, well informed, and answered so many questions. We were able to cover so many aspects of the city and Gianmarco was a great storyteller. His reccomended restaurant at the end of our tour was fantastic as well.
Personalized tour from a very personable and knowledgeable guide!
George was very informative and interesting. He greatly customized the tour to our interests. We got to see many new areas of Athens that we hadn't yet seen. He was extremely nice to answer the thousands of questions we had. George was very knowledgeable about many different aspects of Athens and the life here. And he even followed up to send us a couple pictures of a very old building that we were interested in seeing. We enjoyed this tour very much and would highly recommend to everyone. Time very well spent !
Armando is both affable and knowledgeable
from even before the tour began, Armando was a wonderful communicator. He reached out to me weeks in advance to introduce himself and inquire as to my interests. I had some “fears” about Naples, and he put me at ease. Consequently, I felt very comfortable walking through the chaotic and crowded streets. He was also a good conversationalist, so I felt very comfortable talking with him.
Mari was an incredible guide
Mari made our time so special. She went above and beyond- accommodating all of our requests; even when our kids started to melt down a bit she altered our itinerary so that we could eat lunch early and recuperate. She was kind, professional, and an expert in getting us to see all the sights. Cannot wait to come back and would recommend her to everyone.
Our guide adapted what we did and where we went as we saw different things that interested us
We stopped at a pig cafe, for macha strawberries and went to a specific store our granddaughter. Went down alley for street artists and then a shopping center with a green terrace all because he listened to our interests.
Jeeseon is an amazing guide!
I had a wonderful time with Jeeseon! I wanted to learn how to use public transportation and she was so knowledgeable and thoughtful and understanding. It was such a nice experience to spend time with her and learn more about the city! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul.
Matti is an incredible tour guide! Private tour guides are the best!
We learned so much about the city, and Matti has such a great wealth of knowledge about it. Many Thanks, Yan and Olga

Ana Marie was a great guide, the tour was at a perfect pace and tailored to our personal likes/dislikes
