Experience The Traditions That Shape The City

Maria was super kind and guided us to places off the beaten path she was very knowledgeable and patient . My group of seven had a blast.

We had an amazing experience with Maria. She was so knowledgeable and nice, and really catered the tour to our interests. She even stayed with us longer than the amount of time we booked the tour for. I have nothing bad to say, she was great!!! She took us to local spots that we would have never found.

Maria was a fantastic host! During our food tour, we tried several delicious Osaka delicacies, and it was a fun way to explore the city!

Maria was amazing, so kind and knowledgable. It was just me and she was so good at tailoring and checking what I would like to try! Amazing - can’t recommend enough- thanks Maria!

Alex was fantastic. He’s fluent in English as well as Spanish so it worked really well for us. He help us understand not only the city but also the culture, the religion and the economy. We asked a lot of questions and he was proefficient in all of them. We would happily tour with him again

Alex was an amazing guide! He worked with us to understand what we wanted to do and made a plan for a wonderful day! He made sure that all of the members of our family, including our 12 year old son, had a great day exploring Kyoto!

.

Alex was a great guide! Very knowledgeable and flexible. 10/10 recommend!

Fumiko came to our hotel to meet us and planned a tour around our very diverse set of interests which include pop culture, architecture and coffee. Fumiko was understanding when we wanted to spend more time inside due to the heat and humidity. Thank you Fumiko!

Guide was informative and very helpful

Fumiko was an incredible host! She found us a wide variety of authentic dishes to try and she told us about their origins and commented several times about how the places she bought from were her personal favourites in Osaka, which we thought was a lovely touch. She was an enthusiastic and kind host throughout our tour. Thank you Fumiko!

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.

Marisol was an excellent tour guide—her communication, engagement, and check-ins made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the start. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Xochimilco, and because it’s her hometown, you could truly sense the pride she has in sharing her culture and history with us. That passion made every story and explanation feel authentic and meaningful. She gave us experiences that were both amazing and unique, taking us beyond the typical tourist spots and into hidden corners that felt genuinely special. It was refreshing to see Xochimilco through the eyes of someone who grew up there, and the “off the beaten path” touches made the day unforgettable. Marisol not only guided us, but also created a connection—she made sure we were engaged, comfortable, and immersed in the experience. If you’re looking for a tour that combines professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend booking with her. What made the experience stand out was the balance between the must-see highlights and the unique, off-the-beaten-path stops we would have never discovered on our own. Each stop felt intentional, not rushed, and she added meaningful context that brought everything to life. She made us feel at ease, encouraged questions, and created a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We came away with not just beautiful memories but also a deeper appreciation of the town and its people. Marisol made the tour feel less like a transaction and more like spending the day with a passionate local friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable experience.

Marisol is incredibly knowledgeable about Art, History and Architecture. She asked me, before the tour, what my interests were. She custom planned the tour to fulfill my interests. I learned so incredibly much. We went into both public, Government and religious buildings. The art work in the public market was incredible. I enjoyed Marisol company. She was kind, sweet and funny. It was like spending the morning with a great friend who knows so much. I recommended taking a custom tour w Marisol!! 5 stars++!!

I had a very enjoyable day walking around with Marisol and exploring some beautiful neighborhoods. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture and showed me beautiful examples of various building styles. I also loved seeing the lovely parks and squares. It was great to have the personal attention of a private guide.

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

Claudio was very attentive to our interests and expertly guided us through and informative and enjoyable journey through the history and hidden gems of Bologna. We recommend this to others visiting the area!

Exceptional. I cannot say enough about what a delightful tour this was, and how amazing Claudio was as our guide. He is responsive, flexible, and accommodating - pivoting to our interests and needs. More than that, he was kind and warm - like we were being guided by a family member. His wealth of knowledge and fun facts allowed us to explore many hidden gems and main historical sites. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

This was an incredible experience, I couldn’t recommend it enough! This is a great way to learn about Bologna. Claudio was a wonderful tour guide. He was so warm and knowledgeable. It was such an amazing time seeing the city from a locals point of view. We definitely saw things we wouldn’t have known to see without Claudio. It felt like we spent the day with our friend, it was so nice!

Claudio was an incredible host. He was warm and very knowledgeable. We would not have had the same introduction to Bologna without him. We learned so much and visited so many sites, learning so much about the city.

It was a great experience and can be tailored to what you are looking for. My daughter enjoyed all of the scenery and our beautiful guide was so knowledgeable

Loved the experience. The guide was amazing and took us to all the places we wanted and introduced us to a few more

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.

Exellent experience Ana was attentive, well educated in subject Loved our trip to Amsterdam. Tempted to come live here
