Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“Turned out to be more of a ride around then a tour”

They market themselves as a tour company but in reality what we got was an overpriced ride around Nice. While the guide showed up on time, the big problem was that he didn’t speak English. So a disabled American couple that wanted a simple drive around the surrounding area got a guide that couldn’t speak English. Didn’t want a history of the country I explained to the booking agent. Just a simple explanation of where we were. The driver knew what we wanted to see but couldn’t communicate where we were or where we were headed. Stopping the tour I had the driver contact his boss and didn’t get much help. Since I was in the middle of a lost cause, I was able to use google translation and we were able to navigate our way around. Would probably use for a simple trip to or from the airport but certainly nothing else. Be careful what your booking this company for.

“Amazing Vinho Verde Wine Tour”

Pedro was amazing and spoke great English! If you are looking for a guide of the “green wine” area or other areas he’s your guy. Just send him what you want and he will accommodate! Beautiful views regardless of where you go :)

“ Another Unforgettable Day with Nicolas — Highly Recommended in Arashiyama”

We had the absolute pleasure of spending another wonderful day with Nicolas, this time exploring the magic of Arashiyama, and once again he exceeded every expectation. From the moment he met our group of five, Nicolas brought the same warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that had made our previous day with him so memorable. His passion for sharing the beauty and history of Japan is deeply contagious, and he turns every stop into a story you want to listen to. Arashiyama through Nicolas's eyes was a revelation. He led us through the iconic bamboo grove with a sense of wonder, brought to life the centuries of history at the temples, and guided us along the Togetsukyo Bridge and the gardens with a perfect balance of insight and quiet moments to simply take it all in. He paced the day beautifully — never rushed, never lingering too long, always reading our energy and adjusting effortlessly. Beyond the knowledge and storytelling, what continues to set Nicolas apart is his kindness and attention to every member of the group. He is patient, attentive, and treats each guest as if they were the only one. He anticipates needs before they arise, recommends the perfect spots for photos, knows where to stop for a delicious bite, and somehow makes everyone feel completely looked after throughout the day. We cannot recommend Nicolas highly enough. Whether it was Nara on a rainy day or Arashiyama under spring skies, he transforms every excursion into a truly unforgettable experience. If you are visiting Kyoto and looking for a guide who combines deep cultural knowledge, warmth, and a real gift for hospitality, Nicolas is, without doubt, the guide to choose. Thank you so much, Nicolas — for yet another fabulous day. We will treasure these memories of Arashiyama, and we look forward to recommending you to everyone we know. — The Martins Group, Portugal
