What Our Travelers Are Saying

"Our food tour was a highlight of our time in Paris! It’s rare to spend an afternoon with someone who has such a vast knowledge of food, wine and all things related to travel! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute with our guide Seth. When we return to Paris again, this food tour will be at the top of our list."

Cynthia | Paris Food Tour: Essentials

"The tour was wonderful as was Cecilia! She provided so much context for all the sites we visited and it seemed that there was no question she could not answer. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the highlights of the Vatican!!"

Loyde | The Complete Vatican Tour

"I loved this tour. The combination tour of the two sites worked so well. I knew I wanted to see the Sagrada Familia but the tour of the Hospital Paul was an lexpected delight. Our guide, Tate, was a fantastic guide. Her in-depth knowledge of not only the two sites but Spanish history made this tour very special. Highly recommend."
