I had the most wonderful experience in Madrid, all thanks to Pedro! From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful with the pre-tour planning and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and preferences. Pedro has a remarkable ability to bring Madrid's history to life, seamlessly blending fascinating historical insights with his extensive knowledge of architecture. He was engaging, personable, funny, and an excellent communicator throughout the tour, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. His passion for the city was evident in every aspect of the walk. To top it all off, Pedro surprised us at the end with some delicious local treats, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. This was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid, and we cannot recommend Pedro highly enough. If you're looking for an authentic, insightful, and enjoyable experience, look no further!

We had an unforgettable experience in Kyoto with our tour guide, Amy! Her insights were top notch and she made sure we didn’t miss any of the traditional food that Nashiki Market has to offer. She also knew all the best picture spots and hidden gems that make Kyoto unbelievably beautiful. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience that we will never forget!

We had the absolute pleasure of having GJ, Won Jee Eun as our tour guide in Seoul today, and she was truly outstanding. From the moment the tour began, she was warm, professional, incredibly patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing her knowledge. Her English was excellent, making every explanation clear and easy to understand. She took the time to answer every question thoroughly and never made anyone feel rushed, which made the entire experience relaxed, enjoyable, and engaging. She was also very attentive to our well-being, especially on a very warm day, regularly checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and hydrated, and thoughtfully giving us little breaks in between so we could rest and not feel tired or exhausted. What really made the day special was the way she brought Korea to life. She didn’t just show us the sights; she shared the country’s fascinating history, traditions, customs, and local culture in such an interesting and memorable way that we learned far more than we ever expected. Her enthusiasm and storytelling kept us captivated throughout the tour, and the well-timed pauses and breaks she included made it easy for us to fully enjoy each experience without feeling overwhelmed. Without a doubt, she is one of the very best tour guides we have ever had anywhere in the world, and we would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul. She is a real credit to your company, and we are extremely grateful for such an unforgettable experience.

We had one day in Amsterdam. With only one day to make pedestrian footprint we did not want to walk around aimlessly lost. This is where our guide Alan came in. Alan became part of our unforgettable Amsterdam experience. Our footprint requested of some thrift stores, cheese store and as many miles as possible. Alan started taking us by train to the markets walking our way back to our starting point by weaving in and out of all the side streets, the pretty streets, the roads less traveled, all while site seeing spontaneously. For example, at the thrift store a high pair of shoes were selling for 15 Euros. On our journey back we stopped at the brand-name shoe store and found the vary same pair of shoes priced at $250. Alan showed us the square memorials plaques in front homes where Jews had one lived before they were killed in World War ll. I was later able to share this fact at the Anne Frank Museum. When we needed to use the toilet , Alan found the cleanest and fanciest places. He new when to hurry us along and when we wanted to hang a bit longer. We moved around, did and learned a lot. Alan pointed out other places to visit with directions. Genuinely, we had a better time in Amsterdam with Alan as our guide!

Monta planned our time together based upon our pre-tour questionnaire outlining our interests. The booking process was easy and Monta communicated well leading up to our tour day. He met us as arranged and took us to explore the more traditional parts of Tokyo. He was knowledgeable, organised, friendly and fun to be with. We had dinner together in a hidden gem we would never have found by ourselves. For us, it exceeded our expectations. Arigato Monta!!

Karla is a lovely, enthusiastic young girl. She introduced Australia’s history to me and showed me plenty of fascinating, beautiful locations. Each place comes with its own unique stories and historical background. I’m so happy to have Karla as my local host in Melbourne. It was the highlight of my Melbourne trip. highly recommended.

The guides were terrific. We took private tours for the most part and all the guides were professional, personable and totally flexible to our schedule.

This private tour was a look at Florence from a local’s perspective, which is what we wanted. We hired Claudio to fill in a free morning during our Italy tour with a larger group. He provided us with a more personalized perspective on Florence, including a visit to the less touristy side of the Arno river. Claudio really engages with us personally, rather than giving a set piece presentation. He treated us to coffee in a beautiful historic café and entertained us with all sorts of stories. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Florence.

I was looking for an introduction to Rome and Indira didn’t not disappoint. She brought us to a great coffee shop to start us off for our three hour tour! She showed us around most of the big attractions as well as a beautiful spot off the beaten path. We got a good feel of the city by the time the tour was over. She also gave some advice after she left . If it’s your first time in Rome I highly recommend getting a tour guide.
