We had the pleasure of being guided around Toronto by James Wood. He had an excellent knowledge of the city and had taken into account our families preferences and hobbies to show sites that were exciting to us. These included seeing the dog fountain for my young daughter and the Jewish quarter for the speciality shops which my wife loved - we also visited markets and lovely parks during our tour. It was a great way to start our holiday
I’m delighted to hear that James provided an engaging and personalized experience for you and your family. Exploring markets and parks sounds like a fantastic way to start your holiday! Think of us the next time you travel worldwide.

We enjoyed a private tour with a local (Mami) in Tokyo She was very knowlegeable and took us to some hidden gems and spent time explaining everything. We would highly recommend Mami to anyone looking for a private tour guide in Tokyo.
We had a super great time with our local tour guide, Adam. Walking was our choice and it was an enjoyable stroll throughout the city from one community to another. He pointed how one community differs from one another on its culture, architecture and people. We walked, joked and laughed all along. We stopped for a coffee break at a local coffee shop for like 15mins then continued our way until our last stop at the Queen’s house (how Adam jokingly introduced to us), The Buckingham Palace. Thanks, Adam for the lovely great tour. Such short time but very memorable and fun. 10/10 would do it again.
