Geek out in Akihabara, Tokyo's pop-culture paradise
We were lucky to have such a wonderful guide in Kay. He spent so much time taking us through the anime areas we were interested in and showing us how the locals shop for these items. After that we went on a local cultural tour to a nearby Shrine and a Japanese garden. Both incredibly lovely places. Kay was friendly, knowledgeable and just a lovely person and his English was excellent. Highly recommended.
Sapporo Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by a Local
Ryo (Leo) was an awesome guide and really customized the tour to what I was interested in! We saw so much of Sapporo, and it was great to get a sense of the city from his perspective, having lived here for many years. Even outside of the tour, Ryo provided some wonderful recommendations for the rest of my time in Sapporo and other cities I would be visiting in Japan. I was a solo traveler, and it felt like having one of my friends show me around his city!

Hong Kong Half Day Tour with a Local: 100% Personalized & Private
Karen is an amazing tour guide!!! She\'s kind and knowledgeable and cultured. She gave us a fantastic overview of the history and culture of Hong Kong. The agency surveyed our interests, and she took our feedback seriously; Karen even reached out to specify our interests. She hit all the points I wanted, added extra stops to personalize our tour, and focused on areas of interest to us. Karen suggested places to go after the tour, and her recommendations were spectacular. Karen is a great speaker, listener, and storyteller. I threw dozens of questions at her, and she listened intently and gave comprehensive, interesting answers. I was spellbound by some of Karen\'s stories, and I learned a lot about Hong Kong. In brief: Karen made me love Hong Kong even more than I expected. 10/10 would have another tour with Karen.

Review from Max
Nothing but great things to say - Dennis was kind and knowledgeable, I felt engaged from the first minute of the tour. He curated an incredible mix of food that I never would have found in Hong Kong, and even found an extra spot when I was still hungry. Highly recommend!

Review from Sanjida
We absolutely loved our tour with Amy. She was incredibly well-organized and truly went above and beyond to show us what makes Kyoto uniquely beautiful. Even after the tour ended, we asked her for Omakase recommendations and she kindly called ahead and made reservations for us — going out of her way to help, which we appreciated so much. We kept saying, “Amy said…” throughout the rest of our trip because her insights and suggestions stayed with us. She was so thoughtful, sweet, and made the experience feel personal and special. We highly recommend her as a guide!

Review from Tammy
Jill did a very nice job. We enjoyed our time getting to know her and the area. The weather was less than ideal but she was a trooper!
Review from Jacob
Martijn was Ana amazing tour guide. The tour started great and as he learned more about our interests, he made sure to weave those into the tour even more. For example we stopped for a fresh baguette when we noticed someone eating one as the walked by. He had great local knowledge and really introduced us to a side of Paris we would’ve never seen without him.
Review from Alexandra
Nadia was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we had. She is well educated in Italian history and the things that make Napoli special.
