Neighborhood Discoveries, Guided by a Local Who Knows Best

Maria was a great tour guide. She showed us exactly what we asked for. She had good knowledge and was very personable! I recommend!!

Maria was an excellent guide. Her English was perfect. She adjusted the tour to meet my kids interests (food!!!). Maria is very kind and was easy to be with for 6 hours. Tour ran on time and was well organized. We were very pleased. Would highly recommend her.

Maria was excellent! Great communication. Accommodated our meet up location to close to cruise terminal. Was so positive. Lots of information and tailored the tour to our tastes and interests.

Maria was great!! She was super communicative, she was accommodating about meeting time and location near our cruise ship, she personalized the tour to our interests (which was seeing the best city and food highlights and that's exactly what she gave us, and then some!), and she was friendly, positive, and energetic the entire tour. Thanks so much Maria!

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.

Alex is very friendly and knowledgeable about Kyoto, we had a great time.

Alex really enhanced our trip a great deal! Very knowledgeable about local history and culture. His perspective helped us understand the uniqueness of different regions of Japan. He was very helpful in navigating the area and the helped us buy travel items we needed such as stamps and sunglasses! We appreciated his insight in what it is like for locals living here in Japan instead of just seeing tourist sights! Really enjoyed going to a local supermarket to discuss what families ear and getting a flavor for daily life in Japan.

On the day of the tour we were greeted by a WhatsApp message from Alex offering assistance in finding the meet-up spot which was a nice touch. Alex was very friendly and welcoming throughout the tour with excellent English speaking skills. He was very knowledgeable about the area covered in the tour and about Japan and its history in general. Alex was happy to take photographs for us throughout the tour. Alex was very happy to recommend additional areas of interest in Kyoto and other areas of Japan. I would highly recommend the this tour as an introduction to Gion and Kyoto in general, if this is early in your trip you may also get recommendations for other areas of Japan during your stay.

Absolutely wonderful experience. My guide Milos was amazing. Great Personality, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto. He was able to take me “off the beaten path” where there were no crowds. I interacted and dined at a tiny counter in someone’s home. Just an overall wonderful way to see the city at an economical price point. Will recommend for sure.

Milo was personable, engaging, knowledgeable and super flexible guide. We had 3 kids with us which required a lot of breaks, stops and restroom breaks. We got to see a lot of places and get the history behind it. Highly recommend Milo!!

Had a lovely evening with Milo. he explained the history of Kyoto beautifully and kept us engaged for 3 hours. the walking speed was easy and we covered a lot of important spots. again, thanks to Milo we feel we learnt a lot in this tour and head back with very fond memories.

Milo is rich in knowledge and made the walk very engaging. We came super hungry so he was dealing with a tough crowd at first but showed us a delicious spot which made the experience amazing. The hours went by really fast bc we enjoyed the entire experience. He was able to connect world history and Japan to help us better understand the history in Kyoto. Highly recommend Milo!

Ich habe die Tour kurzfristig gebucht da ich fasziniert war von den abendlichen Lichtern und Eindrücken Japans. Mein Tour Guide Fumiko hat mich an super Plätze geführt. Obwohl die Tour eher für das Nachtleben ausgelegt war hat sie sich Zeit genommen mir versteckte Orte und Gassen zu zeigen wo ich super Bilder machen kann und mir dazu noch viel Tips und Anregungen mitgegeben. Ich habe die Tour wirklich genossen und wunderschöne Plätze gesehen die ich selbst nicht gefunden hätte. I booked the tour at short notice because I was fascinated by the evening lights and impressions of Japan. My tour guide, Fumiko, took me to some amazing places. Although the tour was more focused on the nightlife, she took the time to show me hidden spots and alleys where I could take great photos and gave me lots of tips and suggestions. I really enjoyed the tour and saw beautiful places I wouldn't have found on my own.

I spent a lovely moring in Osaka checking out the vintage luxury purse scene with Fumiko, my guide. She helped me find shops that carried the items I was looking for, but more importantly was a great shopping buddy and translator as needed. This private tour was a great option for me when I wanted to go shopping and the rest of my group didn't. We did run into a problem that my tour started at 10am and most of the shops we wanted to look at didn't open until 11am. Fumiko tried to find the few places that opened early for us to start at, but I would advise starting shopping tours at 11am to avoid this issue.

It was an awesome tour with Fumiko. It was a last minute booking and normally the tour was about night life and bars . But I ask for a bit of hidden gems for photos and she did not disappoint. We found some amazing views and narrow streets where I could take wonderful pictures. We had some lokal snacks and it was beautiful. Thank you so much again

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

Toga was a fantastic guide. We wanted to experience food in Kyoto we might not find ourselves and he delivered. We had a fantastic evening of food and drink along with great conversation. Our best evening on this trip thus far.

Marisol was amazing! Very knowledgeable

Marisol was a wonderful guide! Super knowledgeable about the history of the city and architecture. We loved our tour with her and had a fabulous time learning.

Excellent day in CDMX. We were able to personalize our experience and accommodate for all activity levels with the family. Best experience in a market and helping us try all the fruits and snacks. Highly recommend - took excellent care of us all!

We loved Marisol! She was so well spoken, informative, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

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!

Het was een interessante tour over de geschiedenis, belangrijkste gebeurtenissen en de belangrijkste gebouwen van Bologna . Onze gids Claudio was een fijn persoon, die goed Engels spraak en ook nog veel informatie kon geven over restaurants etc. It was an interesting tour about the history, main events and the most important buildings of Bologna. Our guide Claudio was a nice person, who spoke good English and could also give a lot of information about restaurants etc.

We took a tour with Claudio and enjoyed every minute. He covered a bunch of hidden gems and did not miss any of the major sites along the way. Well done Cloudio!

Claudio was one of the best tour guides I have had! He is very knowledgeable about everything Bologna! He ended the tour at his favorite pasta restaurant and I bought some to go. It was THE BEST pasta I have ever had! I highly recommend Claudio's tour!

We both thought that the tour was just perfect. We have been to Bologna 2 times before, however we learnt so much about the place, not only where to eat but also some of the places we hadn't even know about to visit. Claudio was the perfect host, very engaging and just fun to be around. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you, the roman ruins where just amazing and visiting the chapel tomorrow at 9am

Our guide Kenya was excellent. He was communicative before our arrive to personalize our experience and organized it in a manner that helped us to avoid the major rush at some locations.

Kenya was a great guide for our introduction tour to Kyoto, personable and knowledgeable! If had more time we would have requested more time/exploration of Kyoto with him. Gave us recommendations of restaurants and shopping in addition.

Excellent communication throughout starting from prior to tour and throughout. Tour was very unrushed. Kenya made sure we were able to experience what we had requested prior to the tour.

The tour was awesome! Kenya, our guide through the streets of Kyoto, was extremely knowledgeable. He showed us temples, shrines, traditional homes etc., explaining the history of each site. He also managed to answer random questions we asked along the way! It is a small group so it was just 3 of us and Kenya. Highly recommend.
