We want to help travelers get the most out of their trips, and we believe a good tour with a local guide is the best way to ensure that.

GoWithGuide is committed to delivering unforgettable tour experiences, so let us help you create your next favorite memory.
Ultimately this depends on what exactly you’d like to do. Interested in skiing or snowboarding? Well then a winter (or even autumn) trip between November and February would be best. Prefer warmer temperatures? Well then a spring or summer trip sometime between April and August would be our recommendation.
As noted above, this depends on the season, but if you’re heading to Canada during the colder months it’s important to pack winter clothing. This includes a thick winter coat, gloves, scarf, and thick shoes or winter boots if you own a pair. The more water-proof your shoes are the better as you’ll be trudging through snow and ice quite a bit (and everyone hates wet socks).

1. Stress-free transportation: Figuring out train or bus schedules in a foreign country can be an intimidating experience. A private guide can meet you at your hotel and accompany you all the way to your destination (whether by car or public transport).
2. Customization: Don’t feel like you’re being forced into certain experiences, with a private tour you can customize your itinerary completely.
3. Convenience: By hiring a private guide all the hassle of planning instantly falls by the wayside. Your guide will take care of everything, from where to go, how to get there, which tickets to buy, and more.
4. Safety: International tourists are unfortunately a favorite target of the unscrupulous, from something as simple to overcharging to holiday ruining pickpockets. Traveling alongside a local guide means they can help keep you safe and ensure you don’t get tricked by any tourist trap.
