  • Fabulous walking tour around the main areas of Dubrovnik old city.we were able to stop and listen as many times as we needed as there was also written information too

    Karen BakerGoogle review

  • A great way to discover the hidden gems in Sorrento. It provides history, cultural context and a flavour of the place. We would have missed so much had we wandered round without this valuable guide. Thank you for the research and information.

    alison ryeGoogle review

  • This was a good tour. I used the Spanish tour to practice my Spanish and it was helpful because you could slow it down and listen to it multiple times. This tour is what it says it will be

    LilyGoogle review

  • Macht Spaß! Toll, im eigenen Tempo zu den verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu schlendern.

    Cécile BlumenbärGoogle review

  • Cute and informative tour of several athenian landmarks

    Ginny GlezouGoogle review

  • Merci pour ce bel après-midi à Weimar en votre compagnie. Belle expérience, merci!

    Helene CazalsGoogle review

  • All very well written and illustrated. Perhaps some of the 'history' was a little 'contrived', i.e. the successes and achievements of the certainly key protagonists slightly embellished, and the selection of a distinctly pedestrian monument to Otto, the second last, pointless! More on the classic architectural, perhaps even planning and development of the old city, would have been very welcome. Otherwise, it was great and the quizzes interesting and fun.

    Mel CadmanGoogle review

  • I’ve made two tours of Barcelona and I liked them pretty much, quite fun!

  • Ein kurzweilige und interessante Stadtrunde, die auch mit Kindern gut zum Erkunden einlädt.
