The best day trips to explore beyond the city limits

Our tour with Maria was one of the best ever. Maria took us to all the listed sights providing insight and stories along the way. We felt like we not only saw Osaka’s sights, but also really learned a lot about the culture and hidden gems. Maria’s English is outstanding! I would highly recommend this tour with Maria!

Maria was a great tour guide. She was enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgable. She really knew the city of Osaka well. She was a great cultural ambassador sharing facts, stories and insights. We walked through many interesting neighborhoods, saw famous landmarks and she even guided us through a snack at a quirky Japanese restaurant. Yum! Maria’s English is outstanding and she communicated well before and during the tour. I highly recommend you book a tour with Maria!

Maria was an amazing guide! We told her what we wanted and she customized the experience for us. The food selections she chose were amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful 3-hour tour with Maria. She showed us parts of Osaka that only locals usually know about. Maria was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Highly recommended.

Alex was great!!

Alex was an amazing guide! Showed us around all the sites, including those off the normal touristy routes. The tour was excellent!

Wonderful walking tour of Osaka. Our guide Alex was expert at getting us great photos so it looked like we were the only ones there! He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Great time!

Ale is very friendly and knowledgeable about culture and history of Kyoto, he showed us very interesting offbeat places, took many nice pictures of us, we really enjoyed his guide.

Fumiko made our day wonderful! We traveled to Osaka with our 10-year-old daughter on an exceptionally hot day. Fumiko designed a tour that mixed history, pop culture, and local food that made everyone in my family happy. We particularly loved eating takoyaki and fried blowfish with Fumiko; she knew the BEST places to eat in all of Osaka! Thanks for a wonderful day!

Fumiko was amazing! She picked us up at our hotel and off we went on a whirlwind tour of the best of Osaka! She chose the perfect highlights and we had plenty of time to walk through the outdoor markets, shop and try yummy local foods. The highlight was spending time in the beautiful shop with souvenirs made from vintage Kimonos.

Nuestra guía Fumiko fue excelente!! La atención, disposición y amabilidad increíbles. El tour a NARA es obligado al visitar Japón. Es un lugar bellísimo y los santuarios son espectaculares. Superó nuestras expectativas totalmente. Agradecidos y totalmente recomendable. Our guide, Fumiko, was excellent! Her attention, willingness, and kindness were incredible. The tour to Nara is a must when visiting Japan. It's a beautiful place, and the shrines are spectacular. It completely exceeded our expectations. We are grateful and highly recommend it.

Fumiko was a fantastic guide who knew all of the best hidden gems around Osaka. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the entire tour.

Milo was an incredible guide! He was one of the all time best we have ever had. His walking tour of Kyoto hit so many highlights. He was very considerate about asking if we wanted to take breaks. He did a great job of combining the history and important sites we needed to see but mixing in fun, coffee, shops, and unique places to try street food that was specific to the area. All of his recommendations were spot on! His English is perfect and he is incredibly knowledgeable. To make matters even more impressive, due to no fault of his own, we completely messed up our arrival and showed up two hours late and he still gave us the entire full tour which he certainly did not have to do. If you have Milo as your guide you are very lucky!!!

Milo is a good, interesting guide who will not let you get bored during the excursion. My son was in Kyoto for the first time and for this acquaintance with the city was very informative. The most important thing in the heat of 40 degrees Milo took us to places where you can also take a break, drink local soft drinks and have a good and tasty lunch. We were not bored. If you need a bright guide with a good sense of humor and who knows the history of the city well, then I can definitely recommend Milo.

Milo gave us everything we were looking for on the tour! The flexibility of destinations we wanted to visit, excellent photo spots, and having a charming guide who gave us little tidbits of history we passed making the whole experience scenic and a great learning experience for someone who’s never visited Japan. The day was extremely hot and Milo was very considerate of how we were feeling throughout the Kyoto summer heat and provided us enough locations for much needed breaks.

Milo was outstanding. So knowledgeable and catered the tour to our requests. Highly reccomend him. .

Victor was excellent. He brought us through the real Hong Kong and we got to taste authentic street food of all types. Highly recommended

Victor was excellent Organisation of tour was poor. We did not receive the pre tour questionnaire. There was no contact details on the voucher and the hotel concierge found the what’s app number for us to contact. So Victor gets 5 out of 5 and organisatio. Gets 2 out of 5

We very much enjoyed our full-day, private tour of Hong Kong with Victor. With only one day to spend in Hong Kong, time was well spent, seeing the city’s many highlights and local spots as well. Victor impressed us with his pleasant personality, knowledge of the area, and passion for sharing. Highly recommend booking this tour with Victor! P.S. Thank you for the pictures, Victor!

Victor was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the areas, the history, some back street and unique places and also showed us how to get around the city using the MTR card (we got the Octopus - it was the smart decision). We learned a lot, saw so much in the 4 hour tour and would recommend him. Note - some things you can do on your own, so use the tour wisely as it was private.

Toga was a personable, fun and provided great knowledge/insight into to various temples we visited. Along with a delicious lunch recommendation and further tips for us to continue exploring on our own after the tour. Thank you very much for a great half day tour, it was great meeting you.

Toga was an excellent guide. He provided cultural and historic context for each site we visited. He was flexible based on an extra stop we wanted to make and was fun to talk with. Great food recommendations and after tour recommendations as well.

Toga was amazing. He showed us beautiful shrines and temples and modified the itinerary based on our requests. He also gave us very helpful information for the rest of our stay. He was the key to our entire visit and a really great enjoyable guy

Marisol was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture. She also took us to various places to try local food. It was a very relaxed tour (walking pace) and we got so much out of it. She also recommended other places and restaurants in town.

Marisol gave very interesting insight into the culture of cdmx. She is extremely knowledgeable about history and architecture which are subjects we enjoy. She also gave us great sightseeing tips for the remainder of our stay.

Lovely experience. Marisol was our guide and she explained us a lot and added personal touch. We felt very good during the tour. I would recommend it.

Marisol was an amazing tour guide! She made the whole trip really special and personal for my family, she even made special signs and greetings for my kids that they loved. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Enjoyed shopping for lunch at the food hall. Aya explained what all the food items were. We really enjoyed our picnic - all the different dishes were amazing. Aya was happy to take photos for us at all the different spots that we visited. Aya is definitely a people person and is the right person for the job.

Aya was very knowledgeable, and has the perfect personality for a tour guide. She happily took photos of us at all the stops. We absolutely loved being taken to the food hall to choose our lunch, quite an experience. Aya explained what all the dishes were and each dish was delicious when we later had our picnic. I couldn’t praise Aya and this tour any higher. The highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Aya.

We really enjoyed all the sights around Harajuku and Asakusa! It was a wonderful blend of modern and traditional. Ayaka was a great guide who supplied us with tons of information, and also offered to help us take pictures and gave great suggestions.

Great walking tour. Our guide Ayaka was so very knowledgeable, friendly, and ever so helpful in so many ways! Thank you, Aya!

Claudio Natale was a great tour guide and host. He has a lot of interesting stories about Bologna to share, was very flexible and focused on our points / areas of interest. He accommodated the itinerary to our requests. He is a very nice and friendly person. It was a great few hours which allowed me and my wife to discover a lot of interesting things about Bologna. Highly recommended to spend some time with Claudio in Bologna :)

Claudio a été un guide exceptionnel et très sympathique, avec des connaissances incroyables sur sa ville! Nous avons passé de superbes heures ensemble et le referons à notre retour. Claudio was an exceptional and very friendly guide, with incredible knowledge of his city! We spent a wonderful time together and will do it again when we return.

We were in Bologna for a few days visiting a university student and booked a tour with Claudio for the last day. It was fantastic and would have been really helpful to do early in our visit. The tour was perfectly crafted based on the interests we expressed. The guide really listened to what we wanted, had excellent knowledge of the area and a strong command of the English language. He was well prepared with recommendations and suggestions and we felt like insiders!

We were visiting our daughter studying in Bologna and decided to book a personalized tour of the city. Claudio was fantastic! He listened well to what we wanted and tailored the time towards our interests. He was super well prepared with recommendations and a wealth of knowledge on all subjects Bologna from history to architecture to local culture and music. We experienced nooks and crannies of the city we never would have come across on our own. Wish we would have done this tour at the start of our stay to glean from all the recommendations Claudio provided. After this experience we immediately booked a similar tour in Florence.

great

It was very informative and the guide set the pace according to our needs and preferences. A great day.

Great tour!
