Headline sights and hidden corners

Itineraries mix famous attractions with lesser known spots, so a first visit can cover the headline sights and quieter corners. Visits can be scheduled in the evening or before the doors open, which gives a calmer look at busy places. Some tours reach restricted areas that are not part of general visits. Food walks sample local dishes with a guide, and day trips take travelers out of the city to nearby sights. Selected tours include transportation, and each guide is chosen for knowledge of history and a gift for storytelling.

Our full take

The Tour Guy offers guided tours and activities in destinations such as Rome, Paris, London, Venice, Florence and Barcelona, including skip-the-line access.
