We had an absolutely wonderful tour in Japan with Kay. It was the perfect mix of everything we had hoped for. Step by step, we learned about Japan’s history while visiting different places around the city. We wandered through local markets and tried all kinds of little local specialties. We definitely wouldn’t have noticed or tried many of them on our own, so it was great that Kay introduced us to them. It gave us a much deeper insight into the local culture and everyday life. The whole experience felt like visiting a good friend who was showing us around their city. We visited not only shrines, temples, and markets, but also some beautiful traditional gardens. The tour was very relaxed, so we were able to learn a lot while also simply enjoying the atmosphere and taking everything in. It was a very interactive tour and the perfect combination of interesting historical information and authentic cultural experiences — from trying delicious local food to learning about traditions and getting little glimpses into everyday Japanese life. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan!

Hong Kong tour with Alfred . I booked a 4 hour customizable tour this past week. What a treat to see the city with Alfred. Positives - * He is an absolute gentleman and historian knowing every nook and cranny of HK *Such a friendly personality . Easy to talk to; easy to connect with . Heck, we even had dinner together * He listened intently to what I wanted to see and delivered *We essentially checked off every box in regards to sites I wanted to visit . Annnd, he was kind enough to pick me up at my hotel . Thank you! *He really knows his stuff - how to get into trains and attractions early in the queue was a gift ! Negatives - Really none . My only slight gripe ? Felt like it was a bit rushed. I wanted to just relax at times just to take pics but we were always running to the next site . Dont let his age fool you. He is in incredible shape! I was in lockstep despite the fast pace. Be ready to walk. I loved it. But there was no way my wife (not present) could keep up with that pace. Again, I loved every site but probably could have spent less time at the jail to see other sites without rush. I would definitely book a tour w/ Alfred again! Thank you!!!

Kay Arakawa was our tour guide to take us from Tokyo to Kamakura. It was a 9-5 pm tour. We had so much fun visiting all the main areas and learning about them. He pointed out important information, that otherwise we would missed. Kay is fun, knowledgeable all thing Kamakura, relaxed and a great tour guide. If you want to focus on enjoying the scenery, Kay will take you to all the places you don’t want to miss in Kamakura.

The experience with Valmi was excellent! She was prompt, kind, fun, and very generous with her time and talents. We received so much detail on Florentine history and culture. It was a highlight of our trip and we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to tour with Valmi.

We had a fantastic private tour of Edinburgh with Colin. He was personable, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable, with a wonderful sense of humor. He took the time to learn about our interests and tailored the tour especially for us, combining Edinburgh’s fascinating history with medical history, and many hidden places we never would have discovered on our own. Colin showed us quiet closes, secluded gardens, and lesser-known corners of the city, explaining the history and stories behind each one. His passion for Edinburgh was obvious, and his storytelling made the city’s history come alive. The tour never felt rushed or scripted—it felt personal, engaging, and truly unique. This was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. We would highly recommend Colin to anyone who wants to experience Edinburgh beyond the usual tourist attractions.

I had a wonderful time exploring Hong Kong with him! He knows the streets and local food spots so well, which made getting around feel smooth and effortless. The restaurants he recommended were delicious, and I really enjoyed discovering the city through his local knowledge. Everything felt relaxed and well paced.

I did a 6h tour of the beautiful city of Santiago with Isabel as a guide, this was the first time in Chile. I sent my wishlist of barrio's, architecture, history, hidden gems and what not to miss. She prepared a perfect itinerary and made sure we could make choices along the way depending what I wanted to learn more as we go. Her English is so good, great at storytelling, she is passionate about her city and country, very warm and caring personality. We did walk around the city and changed course when I found something interesting, we ended up some wonderful markets and barrios with great street art and atmosphere. I had the best of days and could not recommend her enough. She gave several tips on places to eat, museums, barrio s like Yungay to do for the next day.

Federica is a very pleasant lady who knows the best places in the city for food as well as all the history of the area. She customized a tour to meet our needs and schedule. I will engage her on a return trip. Perfetto!

Dennis was an excellent guide! I had a long wish list of places I wanted to visit, and we managed to see them all in a very efficient and well-organized way. On top of that, Dennis offered great additional recommendations and introduced me to some delicious local Hong Kong specialties that I might not have tried otherwise! He is kind, funny, and passionate about what he does. Dennis definitely played a big part in making my experience in Hong Kong so special and memorable. I couldn't have asked for a better guide!
