Members of the media and our affiliate partners have a lot to say about our tours.
While visitors can book a ticket for a self-tour with an audio option directly from the palace, I enjoyed it much more with a private, guided tour with The Tour Guy. My guide could tell me much more than the audio guide could, and she knew which details of the palace to pay attention to (especially the Bridgerton ones).
The park shows off Gaudí’s creative style, mixing nature with amazing architecture. Since 1984, it’s been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its unique design. I learnt all this because instead of just visiting to admire the mosaics, I took a tour booked through The Tour Guy.
We booked an Eiffel Tower Tour with Seine River Cruise with the Tour Guy. It’s so great to have a guide because I have found a lot of things in Paris are, well, confusing and aren’t often self-explanatory. If you really want to do a Seine cruise and go up the Eiffel Tower–and learn a good chunk about Paris–I highly recommend this tour.
What I do recommend, instead, are small or private tours that feature a particular experience, perhaps more off-the-beaten-path. If you are going to spend money on a private tour, do it for something you would not be able to do on your own. Here are 3 of my favorite non-mainstream tours in Rome hosted by The Tour Guy.
We’ve loved our tours with The Tour Guy, but not all tours are created equal. I recommend smaller group tours because they offer a more intimate experience and make it more likely that you’re having curated bites of food over tours that cater to a larger group.
