What travelers think of this experience

Shigetsu Apr 2025

This tour was great because the company customizes the tour to your needs and they even prepare a questionnaire before you go on the tour. But what made the tour great was Lando as he was not only knowledgeable but very entertaining to be with and most importantly knew where to go, what to eat, and what to experience so that I would have a good time. I highly recommend this tour anyone!

Shigetsu Apr 2025

Lando was really great. He quickly realized what I was interested in and took me to places that I loved. Also you can tell he is very knowledgeable about everything but was more surprising was that he made it short, simple, but more importantly funny and unique because he understood that is what I wanted. All the food was great and would quickly go off the path if there were fun things going on like people performing. I would for sure reccomend Lando!

Sakshi Apr 2025

Nicolás was amazing! He showed me all the places that I wanted to see and gave me a lot of information about everything. Very warm and friendly. Would recommend to my friends!

Catherin Apr 2025

I enjoyed the time we took at each place and the historical knowledge Marisol shared.

Lisa Apr 2025

Meg Apr 2025

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Of course! Your experience is flexible, so you can explore at your own pace and make changes along the way.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?

Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
