I can’t imagine having a better time on a tours. Anna was smart and knowledgeable and she truly looked out for us. She is an amazing human being and we could not have had a better time with anyone else!!!

We had an amazing time visiting Utrecht with our personal guide, Annet. She was so knowledgeable, and a joy to spend the day with, taking us to see key landmarks such as St Martin's Cathedral (portion of it dating back to 630 AD) as well as lunch at a restaurant off the beaten path, down along one the old canal. Highly recommend this tour, especially if your fortunate enough to have Annet as your guide!!

We had a great tour with Megumi in Kanazawa. Megumi is very responsive and nicely tailored the tour to our wishes. She is very knowledgable and provided background and fun facts and we learned a lot about Geisha and Samurai. The recommendations for places to visit after the tour were excellent. We really enjoyed the serene beauty of the Zen (Suzuki) museum which we otherwise would not have visited. We can highly recommend Megumi as a guide.

Rimi was fantastic, we had a blast. She went beyond telling us historical facts and really brought them to life. We jad already visited many temples and sites of historical importance in our 3 weeks here, so we wanted something more personalized and less general. Rimi is the tour guide you want, regardless of what your expectations are: she will meet them. She is a kind, cultured and very human local from Kanazawa. She completely tailored the tour: we wanted something fast paced, centered around Kanazawa's peculiar history, with quirky facts and to get a deeper knowledge of how the people of this ciry used to live and evolved, to better understand the dynamics at play today. There was a lot of culture, laughs and fun. Rimi also was very helpful with recommendations (food, activities etc) and even helped us getting a booking for the Ninja castle! We only had three days in Kanazawa unfortunately, so this was such a great decision. She pointed at so many things that us, tourists, would not have noticed or understood on our own. She truly opened up our eyes when visiting the geiko and samurai quarters. We loved everything about it.

Richard Borbas provided a memorable experience. We learned a great deal about Budapest, it's history and culture. Would recommend Richard to everyone.
