Happy International Tourist Guide Day!

Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of every private tour—our incredible tour guides. They’re more than storytellers; they’re memory-makers, experience-shapers, and the reason so many travels turn into life-changing adventures.

Like Linda in Amsterdam, who shared a moment of pure magic with a guest seeing Van Gogh’s Almond Blossom—on his birthday, no less. The joy, the tears, the connection—that’s the kind of impact only a passionate guide can make.

Or Gloria in London, whose heart was stolen by her youngest-ever guest—a 15-month-old explorer whose smiles, curiosity, and goodbye kiss turned a simple tour into a day she’ll never forget.

And Woody in Seattle, who gave football fans from the UK a once-in-a-lifetime surprise when their tour coincided with the Seattle Sounders catching fish at Pike Place Market—an unexpected, perfect moment of joy.

These stories from our guides remind us that being a guide isn’t just about sharing facts; it’s about creating moments that will be the highlight of their trip.

To all tour guides out there—thank you for connecting people to experiences that inspire, delight, and sometimes even bring happy tears. You make the world feel a little smaller and a lot more magical.
