Who We Are

Travel with Heart. Explore with Purpose

We’re Bernard, an independent tourism visionary, and Philip, a local taxi driver, Tour guide and Incoming Services. Two passionate travelers, planners, and locals who believe there’s a better way to explore the world. We got weary of one-size-fits-all travel experiences. So we created something different: A more personal, meaningful way to connect people with places — guided by real relationships and deep local knowledge. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or looking to go beyond the guidebooks, we’re here to help you discover the stories, people, and hidden gems that make a place truly unforgettable.

Direct Connection

You talk to the person who designs your trip. Always.

No Middlemen

No third-party platforms or automated systems.

Real Expertise

We’ve lived, worked, and traveled where we send you.
