    Tatiana and Kenny were excellent and very professional. They know their city information and history and customized our tour to what we wanted to do. We had tours several private tours in different UK/Republic of Ireland cities and they were by far the most professional and knowledgeable. The van was as advertised, which in other cities the vehicle has been changed. and they picked us up at the port for no extra cost. I would highly recommend them.

    Pilar Gonzalez, in Spain, made amazing arrangements for the tour guide, private bus and driver. Guide and coverage for Edinburgh in one day was excellent. Princess cruises.offered excursions as well. We received value and quality that was far superior with Pilar. No need to look further. Just book it with Pilar. FYI, we were group of 26; everyone had very similar experience.
