Learn about their personal stories, and find out how you can explore together
A very enjoyable and informative tour with Maria. Lots of information regarding art and Spanish history. Maria related this with a sense of sincerity and heart.
Very knowledgeable and well spoken.
Victor is terrific. He moves at a good pace and is well-versed in art history. More importantly, he is a very good teacher and explainer. We recommend him highly.
Have been on a few tours with only locals, down side is when the personality of your host isn't a good match, you will find it hard to not get along with Big, top gentleman, very worldly and well read, had great insights in the topic, will be thinking about this tour for a long time to come.
It was't what we thought it would be like, (more spiritual we guessed?). But, we loved our time learning so much about the monks and where they live, eat and walk. Fascinating life style they live in the mornings which we watched first hand. We would recommend this tour with Big. He is extremely knowledgeable about this subject.
I had a wonderful morning on this tour with Big. He was so insightful about the life of a Thai monk and about life in Thailand. He went out of his way to teach me about the culture, people and the land. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone—you won’t regret it. My understanding and respect for Buddhism and Thai monks has grown exponentially. Thanks Big for the amazing tour!
We had the best time with Maria Augusta at the Prado Museum. She curated a greatest hits list of art to show us and shared the most interesting stories and perspectives about them. We don’t usually tour art museums on our frequent European city breaks, but we loved this tour. She was great with our surly 12-year-old daughter, too. This was definitely the highlight of our Madrid experience!
We enjoyed this morning outing! Big was an excellent host, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a lot about the Monks way of life and life in the city for those who support the monks beliefs.
Maria Augusta had prepared a sort of “greatest hits” of the Prado Museum for us. With anecdotes and great insight and humor she took well care for us and now we want to do it again, with her, to the next level, next time in wonderful Madrid. Thank you Maria!
Lucien gave my family and I a wonderful tour of the Orsay Museum. He is knowledgeable and makes the tour engaging. Would definitely recommend.
