My reviews

Lando was absolutely incredible! He truly brought the history of the ancient city alive. He went above and beyond to ensure we were engaged and learning while having a great time. He volunteered to take SO many pictures and videos, which are all really special to look back on. Sometimes it’s tough to get pictures of the two of you when traveling as a couple, so it was very considerate of Lando to make sure we had all we could want. He ended up recommending a taco place that was one of our favorites of the trip, and picked us up and dropped us off exactly where needed. His knowledge is off the charts and really filled in the gaps. Teotihuacan is a place where you really need a guide to get the most value, and Lando delivered and then some. Thank you!!

We had a great experience with our private guide, Shohei. He sent us a short video before the tour so we knew who to look for, which immediately made us feel more comfortable. He was warm and friendly throughout the day and gave us a helpful introduction to Tokyo on our first day. He took us through a few different neighborhoods, brought us to a well-known shrine, and even introduced us to a local sushi restaurant for lunch. We really appreciated having the chance to ask questions and learn from a local. Highly recommend.

Maria was an excellent guide, she ensured that the day flowed seamlessly and catered to our needs. She took us to some out of the way places not commonly frequented by tourists, which made for a very special and unique experience. Maria was very courteous and friendly. She was great at sharing her local knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend Maria and this tour.

Deniz exceeded our expectations in every way today!!! He had a depth of local knowledge that was remarkable and he tailored the 4 hr tour very nicely to match our interests. He engaged us in steady conversation and welcomed all our questions. A true highlight of our 4-City trip to N. Germany with this exceptional guide!!! Thank you again Deniz!!
