Connie was extremely kind and knew Montreal in great detail having grown up there. She was accommodating as we made some changes from the original plan and showed me different areas that I would not have known to see otherwise. I'd definitely go on another tour with her someday!
Michaël was a wonderful guide! Very flexible as we were running behind schedule. Engaging and knowledgeable. A wonderful introdiction to some of Athens’ neighborhoods.

Our guide, Tom\'s, knowledge of the social history of London was encylopedic and delivered with great style. A natural raconteur, he was engaging company and we left him having had a fun tour of Camden Lock. Highly recommended.

Our tour was exceptional. Stella was outstanding. We gained a significant amount of knowledge from Stella and she was delightful to be around. This beautiful city is steeped in history. Stella also provided insight into the origins of the Horse Race and we witnessed immense pride among the people involved. Furthermore, Stella went above and beyond to ensure we located the meeting point, as it was our first time driving in Italy, and she also assisted us in finding our way back to the parking area. Her helpfulness was greatly appreciated.

Mat provided a beautifully customized tour of Munich for us as first time visitors. He took us to city highlights and off the beaten path locations. We learned history, fun facts and so much about the people of Munich and how they compare to other regions of Germany. There was never a dull moment during our six hour walking tour. Mat is a wealth of knowledge - history, culture, political and social topics. He also made the BEST restaurant recommendation for our dinner that night. It was the highlight of our trip.

Naveen started a little early and lead us to the most amazing food in the Victoria market, pork mince meat sandwich it was so amazing with the specialty mustards provided, he lead us around Munich and gave all the history and background on each location we went to, we were able to experience more while following him than we. Would have been able to do if we were just walking around. We were especially greatful to get the most amazing photos he took of our group of 4. Thank you Naveen for the most amazing tour of Munich, Germany.
