Dublin Private Walking Tour with a local: Highlights & Gems
Our private tour of Dublin with Jose Luis was absolutely fantastic. He was an excellent guide who truly brought the city\'s history to life. We visited a wonderful selection of historical sites, and Jose Luis was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about each one. His insights into Dublin\'s past were both fascinating and easy to understand, making the experience feel personal and engaging. ​Beyond his expertise, Jose Luis was also very personable and easy to talk to. He created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, which made the tour feel less like a lecture and more like a great conversation with a friend. ​The perfect ending to our tour was when Jose Luis took us to a traditional Irish Victorian pub for some craft beer. It was a delightful surprise and truly the cherry on top of an already incredible day. We highly recommend Jose Luis for anyone looking for a private tour that is both educational and fun.

Our guide, Mick, made our private walking tour of Dublin a truly memorable day. He interwove history, art, and culture in a fascinating 3 hour stroll in Dublin. He was cheerful, funny and breathtakingly informative. We experienced many beautiful and intriguing sites that many tourists in typical group tours just can\'t come close to. A large warm thank you to Mick for a great day !

Mexico City Custom Private Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems
We had an awesome 6 hour tour with Marisol! We had a 28 hour stopover in Mexico City and wanted to see as much as we could during the day. The tour is extremely customizable and we were able to select everything we wanted to do and see based on our interests. We even needed to make a quick stop to the doctor and pharmacy and Marisol helped us with that and we greatly appreciated her kindness and patience. Marisol was very knowledgeable and her passion for her culture and hometown really shows. We ate some amazing street food and other treats and also got to see a lot of things during our one day in Mexico City. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again and I highly recommend Marisol as a guide.

Young was so authentic and told us about many aspects of Korean life as he led us on foot across the district of Seoul where we were staying. We really appreciated how he spoke truthfully about the complexities of Korean history and culture, and we gained a background understanding going all the way back to Confucian times. This truly enriched the rest of our short stay in Seoul, and even our understanding of the K-movies we then watched on our onward flight! Young took care to ensure that the sites he showed us were all free entry so as not to add cost to our tour, and a highlight was the scale model of Seoul that's in the city's history museum. Young used this very well to enhance his storytelling.
