Review from Samuel
We loved Alan!!!!
Review from Dana
We had an awesome time with Alvin and he sent personalized recommendations after the tour that helped make our Kyoto stay memorable!
Review from John
Our night market food tour with Green was a highlight of our trip to Taipei! He was accommodating of our wishes, and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us tremendous insights into Taiwanese culture. A tour like this would not have been possible on our own. We did not see another Western tourist during the entire evening! The food was interesting, and delicious. Highly recommended!
Review from Leanne
Jonathan was an incredible host, so knowledgeable of the area

Review from Tina
Nadia asked for preferences prior to meeting. She has pictorial aids to help with flow. And the pace that she maintained was comfortable.
Review from Deena
Giselle was an amazing ambassador to the city of Sydney. We only have 2 days here, and in 3 hours Giselle managed to show us the highlights, culture, personality, history & beauty of the city. She delivered nuggets of information in a fun & dynamic way to showcase areas where we might want to go back & explore in more depth. Another plus-she showed us how to use the various options of public transportation to help us move around the city efficiently. I’d highly recommend Giselle -she’s fun & knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful day.

This was a fantastic tour of Bologna. Antonia, our tour guide, led us around Bologna unveiling many secret locations and revealed to us the history of Bologna in shaping how it looks. We enjoyed all parts of the tour.
Review from Donna
This was a really great tour! So happy we were able to have Michelle all to ourselves. She was fantastic, very knowledgeable, patient with our questions and really brought the complex history of Munich to life for us. The vast majority of things she shared with us we would’ve have known if we had just walked around ourselves. Well worth it!
Review from Deborah
Malin was a pleasure to be with. She is knowledgeable and fun to spend time with learning about Hong Kong. The tour she planned was perfect for my interests. It was easy to plan the 4 hours with her in advance. She was amazingly on schedule for the entire entire tour. We covered a lot of ground. I wholeheartedly recommend that you hire her.
Review from Anna
We loved everything about the tour. Claudio was an exceptional guide. So knowledgeable and engaging. We loved that he picked us up from our hotel which saves a lot of stress worrying about where to meet. We enjoyed his company and his insights into what makes Florence tick.
Review from Ramon
Fantastic Guide. If you want to get a quick but insightful showcase of Melbourne, this is a great way to learn, get your bearings, find unique spots and balance a walking g tour with art, culture, history and in-depth knowledge of the city. Great experience and a wonderful guide.
Review from Gail
Wendy was fantastic! We had fun just walking around and learning about the city.

Singapore Street Food Tour with a Local: A Feast for Foodies 100% Personalized
I booked a private street food tour for a guest visiting from the US. I provided very specific instructions as our guest is a keen foodie with adventurous tastes. We were matched with Dr. Stan as our guide. He went above and beyond from the moment I booked. He was highly communicative and receptive to my specific requests. It was evident he listened closely and curated a 100% custom tour itinerary. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure his tour is *exactly* what you want. I couldn\'t be more pleased as my guest was delighted. This is worth the investment if food is an important part of your travel experience. Highly recommend this tour and Dr. Stan specifically!
