Phoenix, AZ
A «must do» in any of the cities where they offer guided tours, as far as I am concerned! So far I have taken their tours in Rome and London which have exceeded my already high expectations. Groups of six or fewer (our London tour was just three, what a treat) and wonderful thoughtful guides who are subject matter experts brimming with professionalism and passion for the topics they are guiding. We visited London in August when many businesses are closed however Sarah Christie constructed a lovely Gastrinomic London tour and showed us so many amazing little shops that we never would have found otherwise. (Not sure why there was a L10 tasting surcharge as we did not actually taste many items besides cheese as part of the tour, but there were ample opportunities to buy whatever we wanted along the way and she was kind enough to tailor the walk to our particular interests) We saw so many delights that I was sad I didn’t have a kitchen to go home to that very afternoon, if I did I would have assembled a shopping bag full of groceries by tour’s end. You can find an ample selection of topical tours on history, art, architecture etc if markets sre not your thing. I have suggested this company to many friends and all have come home raving. Highly recommended!
