Barbara ran a fantastic food and drink tour with a ton of information about local history and customs. All of the stops easily equated to a full dinner and the drinks were great on top of it. My wife and I had a not-so-great food tour in Zurich before so this was a breath of fresh air!

Bob is a terrific host, very fun and knowledgeable about Munich and its history. The food portion of the tour was unlike other food tours we have been on, though. Instead of stopping in various restaurants for different bites and drinks, Bob brought most of the food and drink with him, and we sampled them in out of the way spots along the street. Still enjoyable, just unexpected.

Anna is a great guide, she makes sure we covered most of the important spots, lots of information. She also guided us way back to hotel.

Michelle was the most wonderful guide. She spent four hours with us showing us so many different sites and giving us detailed explanations and stories about each one. This may have been my favorite tour, ever! My son is 14, and he also found the tour to be very interesting. I would highly recommend this! Thank you so much.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Of course! Your experience is flexible, so you can explore at your own pace and make changes along the way.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?

No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.

Is this experience physically demanding?

We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
