2. Prepare yourself for bad weather, but don’t be discouraged! Unfortunately, it is not always sunny. A private guide is a good idea in bad weather. Your guide will be able to change your itinerary at any time. They’ll also have lots of suggestions for how you can make the most of rainy days in their city. You may end up seeing something interesting that you would otherwise have missed.

3. Dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes when walking. For the weather, your level of activity and local customs. You can ask your guide for advice on what to wear before you go. Always have a light jacket and a sun hat on hand.

4. If you’re healthy and mobile, consider using public transportation instead of a driver and car to get around the city. Explore the city with your guide by foot, bike or public transport. Driving can be convenient but it can also cut you off from your surroundings. Cycling or walking is slower, but it allows you to be more in tune with your surroundings. European cities are compact and easy for visitors to navigate without a car. Many of the largest cities in the world are becoming more bicycle-friendly with dedicated lanes for cycling and bike sharing programs. Rio, Paris Copenhagen, Berlin Amsterdam, London Tokyo, New York City and other major cities are leading the charge in cycling.

5. Respect the culture of your host country and be open-minded. What does this advice mean exactly? It means accepting that there will be differences between home and abroad. People who are constantly judging other cultures and customs often end up complaining about their vacations rather than enjoying them. Our travelers are more likely to adopt this approach, as they actively try to discover what makes a place unique and different.

6. In a similar vein… Try something new Challenge yourself to try something new on your trip, whether it’s food, drinks or an activity. You’ll have fond memories of these experiences when you return home.

7. Research your destination before you go Let your guide know about any places you’d like to visit that aren’t on everyone’s list. You can complement this research by reading a short story or novel by a local writer set in the place you are visiting. You’ll be able to tap into local culture and become inspired to visit the places described in the book.

8. Once you have met your guide Ask questions to get the conversation going! It’s more natural and enjoyable to learn from a guide who is willing to share his knowledge than to be a passive audience member. Your guide won’t have to give a continuous lecture to a quiet audience.

9. Ask your guide for a group photo so that no one is missing. You may not even need to ask as they will know the best spots for photos and offer to capture them. Don’t forget to snap a picture with your guide, so you can remember this person. We love when travellers send us their photos! Post your photos on our Facebook Page anytime.)

10. Benefit from your guide’s knowledge of their city and region for the rest of your time there. Before your tour is done, Get recommendations for the best restaurants, shops and entertainment in your neighbourhood places you can enjoy the evening or next day. We recommend that you take your tour at the beginning of your trip if you are going to stay for several days. This will allow you to make full use of your time.
