HOW WE MAKE IT PERSONAL

Planned with care. Never set in stone.

The best days leave room for the unexpected. Your host comes prepared, but never lets the plan get in the way of what feels right for you.

  • After you book, tell us what you love, what you would happily skip and how you like to explore.

    See the questions we ask
    Host and two guests sitting by an orange wall BEFORE YOU MEET LOCAL FOOD. LOTS OF IT! LESS TOURISTY, PLEASE. WE LIKE TO TAKE OUR TIME.
  • We don't simply assign the next available person. We look for a host whose interests and way of exploring suit you.

  • They come prepared, then listen, notice and adjust as the day unfolds. More of what you're loving, less of what you're not.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE

You plan the trip before you know what draws you in.

NOTICED

One of them kept asking questions about the architecture. The other wanted to feel Kyoto, not study it.

CHANGED

Hi, I’m Hristo

Paris
4.9 (114)

My name is Hristo, and I'm a proud local host in the beautiful city of Paris. As a lover of history and architecture, I'm always in awe of the stunning buildings and monuments that grace this city's streets. There's nothing quite like taking a leisurely stroll through the charming historical neighborhoods of Le Marais, Montmartre, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, or the Latin Quarter, stopping for a coffee at one of the many street cafes along the way. For me, Paris is not just about the stunning sights; it's also about the wonderful ambiance and cultural richness that can be experienced by just simply being here. I'm an expert when it comes to the city's history, the best neighborhoods for a night out, and the must-visit cultural and arts venues. Let me show you the Paris I love and why it's such a special place!

Hi, I’m Ayaka

Tokyo
5.0 (168)

I was born and raised in Fukuoka Japan, and have been working in Tokyo for the past 3 years. One of my greatest joys in Tokyo is strolling through its historical sites, such as Asakusa, Kaminarimon, Higashi Hongan-ji and Meiji Jingu Temple. Imbibing the rich heritage of shrines and temples fills me with a sense of wonder and appreciation. Furthermore, as an avid fan of Anime, particularly ONE PIECE, I find myself well-versed in the vibrant world of Akihabara. This energetic district resonates with my enthusiasm for the art form. I love exploring the city for great food at affordable prices, I like Street restaurant food, Sushi, Ramen, Tempura, Soba, Yakiniku, Matcha, and Sakura sweets, etc. When I have time, I enjoy immersing myself in Japanese cultural events like Kabuki and Sumo matches. I'm excited to share hidden local food and city landmarks with you, and I can't wait to embark on this journey together!
