But from our clients, the most important feedback we have had is that working with us was a pleasure, from the first contact, to last-minute changes inevitable to events of any size, and the day-of-event coordination and execution. Our company is run by tour guides who chose this career path after corporate careers of many kinds; we are here because we love what we do, and it shows in every way.

One very memorable group tour included 10 different kinds of tours, including five different walking tours, a few bus tours and one giant bike tour. Our client called us “professional, knowledgable and welcoming.” Another memorable group was a 40-person offsite day bike tour on a very hot afternoon — we visited ice cream shops, the river front, and water features to keep cool. Another client, a neighbor, brought a number of conference participants for a super early coffee and street art bike tour before the day’s session. The next week they brought a family group on our afternoon tour to repeat the fun. We love challenges and unusual ideas!
