Our customers said about us

Athens

5.0

Timothy30.6.2026

Our guide, Stavros, was clearly experienced and had a plan for our tour. I could see him making regular adjustments based on the interest level of the group. I especially appreciated that he cautioned me before telling any stories that may be inappropriate for my 11-year old daughter. Not only was Stavros full of knowledge, he also was humorous. I have no hesitancy recommending a tour with him.

Paul30.6.2026

A great overview tour to see the old town of Valencia in 2.5 hours. It provides good information on each site that you can explore on your own later if you are interested. Our guide Olivia had a great personality that made the your more fun and enjoyable! We would highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide was clearly an expert on the subject, but the tour was significantly shorter than described (ended at 7.15, not 7.45).

FAQ

There is no fixed price and no hidden fees. We work on a Pay What You Wish model — at the end of the tour you decide how much the experience was worth to you.

We are not an aggregator. Every tour in our catalogue is either organised by us directly or comes from a partner we have personally vetted — by joining one of their tours unannounced. We focus on verified quality, not on the largest possible number of offers.

We aim to keep groups under 35 people, and we prefer groups of 15–20. When more people sign up, we bring in a second guide so the experience stays comfortable for everyone.

Modest dress is strictly required for both men and women at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and other sacred landmarks. Please ensure your shoulders and knees are covered (no sleeveless tops or short shorts). We recommend bringing a light scarf or shawl as a quick "cover-up" to ensure entry into all Holy Land sites.

Jerusalem is an ancient city built on hills, so this is a moderate walking tour covering approximately 2–3 miles. Expect uneven cobblestones and several flights of stone stairs. We recommend wearing comfortable, sturdy walking shoes and bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while exploring the ancient alleyways.
