    We enjoyed our time with Nayla, we learned so much about Buenos Aires and the stores she told have given us a place to start learning more. The personalized option was a great fit for us as it allowed us to change things up on the spur if there moment. We highly recommend Nayla.

    Green was responsive from the start and continually attuned to our family’s needs. I had specific requests about tour venues and start times, and he emailed with every change. On the day of, he even sent a selfie so we could spot him easily. When a situation with our teenager delayed us, he was gracious and reassuring. After we arrived (short one teenager), he shared his own experience, put us at ease, and adjusted the itinerary to fit our priorities. His history and cultural context at the National Palace Museum and Longshan Temple hit the perfect balance—deep enough for my history-buff husband, engaging enough for both teens. Shilin Night Market was the best: top hits, great food, efficient pacing, and we still made it back for massages. What a great day!

    We had a great tie with Benny! He was super nice, punctual, and had answers for all of our questions. His knowledge of Hong Kong was great, and we went to Lantau Island to see the Buddha, by train, bus and Uber was incredible and very memorable. I would ask for Benny 100%!

    Our tour guide Yuka was personable and friendly and showed us around with ease and took care of managing the schedule. She explained a lot to us about the temple, the nature, local customs, and so much more. She managed to get us to places before it was super crowded and even brought us to a great chicken and curry spot on the island for some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in Japan! We would absolutely recommend this tour and asking for Yuka as your guide!
