Eastern Kyoto / Urban Warrior Wax On, Wax Off: a rough guide.	Asia Kyoto

I heart Kyoto big time. And why shouldn't I? It's the most beautiful and interesting city in the whole wide world! Kyoto can’t be done in a day, or even a week. There’s just too much to see. While you may be able to cram the top 20 must-see attractions from your tourist guidebook into your itinerary, you might be missing out on what makes Kyoto such a uniquely beautiful city: the hidden gems, the overlooked temples, shrines, and gardens tucked away in the city’s narrow streets and alleyways. That’s where I come in! My little guide is a spotlight on one section of the city, the Eastside around Yoshida Hill, an area that I found to be especially tranquil and packed with beautiful and interesting sights. While I mostly focus on the lesser known and off-the-beaten-path jewels of the area, my guide also includes some popular attractions that can be quite touristy, but that I believe are must-sees. With proper planning the big crowds can be avoided. So come along! Wander through a decrepit Shinto cemetery at night, sing Beatles songs with the owner of a tiny Izakaya (traditional Japanese Bar/Restaurant) until your voice is hoarse, explore a virtually deserted twelve hundred-year-old esoteric Buddhist temple in the mountains where the head priest fire-walks on holidays, or just black out in a tiny sake bar where ordering a drink involves a lot of pointing, shrugging and finally chugging! Or, I suppose, you could go stand in line at some overcrowded temple, listening to some kid shrieking about “pee pee” or some clown going on about the snack bar. To each his or her own, right?

Charter a boat. Hire a board or 2. Join a local surf guide. Surf Outer Island Reef breaks!	Oceania

The surfing reefs off the east coast of Taveuni Island are some of the best Fiji has to offer- especially in the first six months of the year. There are various breaks to choose from and ample time to make your own surf trip, at your own speed and style. There are 3 main waves to choose between and it is sure that there will be no crowds. The main break is a 120m long right hander. On the other end of this same reef is a shorter but more intense, heavy left hander with a thick heavy often barreling end wedge to boost through when it gets big. The 3rd wave close by is another barreling right, however we class it more for advance surfers only, it has a fast round barrel, and breaks over a shallow coral reef. All the waves handle anywhere between 1.5ft (1m face) to 10ft (triple over head) none of them ever close out, being reef set up’s they are very consistent, handling all swells and sizes. The consistency for december , january, february March, April, May and june is defiantly the best time of year to come, it has the best swell windows and usually light to off shore winds. In these months surf is possible min of 3 days a week, often more. Contact will be made the night before the trips departure to confirm the surf forecast and board hire. The trip will begin at Matei Airport, Taveuni Island. A driver will be there to meet you at 6:00 am and provide transfer. At the Boat landing of Navakacoa, you will be met by your charter boat and captain. A local surf guide will introduce the area and conditons of the day. The drop point will depend on which wave is working the best and is most suitable to the level of surfing. Lunch and drinks will be available. Stopping in at a small local eco resort for a break/lunch at some point is fine. And return transfer to Matei Airport will also be provided. Expect to beack mid-late afternoon.

mountain gorilla Trekking	Africa

It is difficult to describe your first experience of coming face-to-face with these magnificent primates! For sure it will take your breath away, and you will remember it forever! You climb up into the jungle-clad mountains, searching for the allusive gorilla family unit. The bush is thick, and the going can be tough at times. Your work is most definitely rewarded as your search is successful, and you sit down to observe the gorillas in their natural habitat. To limit human contact, your time with the gorillas is limited to a maximum of one hour. This reason, combined with the fact that these awesome beasts are endangered and visiting them is a life highlight for most people, means that getting a permit to visit the gorillas can sometimes be quite difficult. We advise booking early to avoid disappointment. While this is a set price for gorilla trekking, I also provide custom tours to your budget and interests. Please contact me if you're interested in this. Please note that the cost includes the $500 fee necessary to purchase the gorilla viewing permit from the government to see gorillas.

Rebuild the Village of Kisoro Do some good and connect with a local tribe!	Africa Kisoro

Visit and build relationships with a suffering community in Kisoro. Tourists rarely have the opportunity to lend a hand and get an inside look at the real lives of local communities here in East Africa, and this is your chance to gain perspective, make new friends and change lives. We are heavily involved in trying to improve the lives of some people in Kisoro who have been forsaken by their country. Pygmy people used to live in the area which is now the Virunga National Park in eastern Demoratic Republic of Congo. Their ancestors lived here, and this was their home for as far back as anyone can remember. With the creation of the park, the government forced them off the land, but with no compensation. As a result they were left homeless and penniless with nowhere to go. The local tribal head in Kisoro has allowed them to settle in a small area, with barely enough land to grow enough food to subsist. They have not enough academic resource in Uganda, so are unable to own land and unable to get jobs. They literally live hand to mouth. I will take you to visit this community and we can also help them with donations of clothes and food, and in the event that tourists wish to visit them to have a glimpse into their daily struggle, we can arrange to visit them. It is a heart-wrenching experience visiting these marginalised people, one which will mak

Jewish Heritage Tour Explore the hidden history of Istanbul.	Asia Istanbul

Your private licensed tour guide will meet at the harbor / hotel's lobby to begin your tour of the major Jewish heritage sites in Istanbul. Transportation is via modern, comfortable air-conditioned car, van or mini-bus, appropriate to the size of your group. First we will drive to the Galata Quarter. The history of Jewish life in Galata began in Byzantine times when this was a walled city separate from Constantinople. After the Ottoman conquest of Istanbul in 1453, Jewish life in Galata was enlivened with the arrival of many new settlers, especially during the reign of Sultan Beyazit II. From the 1500s onward, Galata was mostly Jewish. We will first visit Galata (Genoese) Tower. The tower was originally the high-point in the Genoese fortifications which protected the town of Galata during Byzantine and early Ottoman times. From the Galata Tower, we will walk to the Neve Shalom Synagogue. This is one of the largest synagogues in the city, designed and decorated in a modern style. Inaugurated on March 25, 1951, it is used for major functions of the community such as weddings and funerals. Before leaving Galata, we will also see a graceful curved double staircase, known as Kamondo Staircase. The staircase was built in the 19th century on the order of the Kamondos, the Jewish communityÂ´s most prosperous family. Further we will proceed to the ZÃ¼lfaris Synagogue which was restored to become a museum of Turkish Jewish life. Then after a short drive, we will reach the Balat Quarter. This is another of the quarters in which Jews were settled after their expulsion from Spain, enlarging a community which had lived here since Byzantine times. Though it once had as many as 19 synagogues, only two of importance remain, the Ahrida, and the neighboring Yanbol....

LA: Capital of the Third World Explore the underbelly of the City of Angels	North America Los Angeles Beverly Hills Santa Monica Hermosa Beach Long Beach

Often hailed as the "Capital of the Third World", Los Angeles is perhaps the most diverse city in the world. Yet diversity is not solely dependent on skin color or culture. This is possibly one of the most classist cities in the United States with a huge disparity between groups that most tourists never see. As such, Los Angeles hosts a large number of immigrants that give the city its vibrance and patchwork identity. Most tours of Los Angeles focus on the manicured lawns of Beverly Hills, the serene vistas of the Hollywood Hills, or the chic and pretentious boutiques of West Hollywood. This is not your froofy tour to the stars. We will focus our attention on the foreign-born populations that inhabit the city's core, made possible by the "White Flight" of the 1950's to 1980's to the far-reaching suburbs. Neighborhoods like Thai Town, Little Armenia, Koreatown, MacArthur Park, Chinatown, East Los Angeles, as well as more notorious neighborhoods like Skid Row or South Park are especially interesting when juxtaposed with the city's architecture or yuppification. It is in this urban landscape of glitzy art-deco hotels now turned into assisted living residences that you grasp the cultural metamorphosis of the City of Angels. We will view current and proposed developments and try to understand what they mean for the city's future. And what tour can focus on a city's cultural heritage without also taking a gander at the food stalls and street vendors? No car is necessary for this tour: a rarity most of the wealthier or middle-class Angelenos never experience themselves. We will be riding around on the subway and any buses if necessary. Additionally, tours can be tailored to your particular interest.

Scout for Street Art Incredible art, hidden in plain sight!	San Francisco Bay Area North America Sausalito Berkeley Alameda Atherton
Russell uses the money he earns on Vayable to create and maintain murals at a community art space.
Mmm, free public "art". Whether you see street art and graffiti as art or vandalism, San Francisco walks a fine line between the legal, quasi-legal, and illegal. The heart of the City by the Bay beats in the colorful Mission District, where alleys, parks, and other spots hold amazing murals and legal art. Then there's the art that surrounds these works in a quasi-legal state. There are also the illegal walls that become colorful, go away with the "buff", and then come back again. Where can you start to see all this amazing art? Where are the Banksy pieces that went up over a year ago? Where are the Eine words that just got painted? Where else can a tourist go to see more pieces, posters, stickers, and stencils? Fortunately, I have been wandering the San Francisco streets for almost 15 years and know the answers to all these questions! I'll even steer you towards more places to find street art, including the galleries that bring folks like Blek, Above, etc. inside where the walls get locked up at night! Come along and see living art on exterior walls with a book author, photographer, and artist who has stories, tales, and answers for the most curious questions.

Whether you're into science fiction, the green movement, music, or comics, I'll be happy to pick the bookstores best suited to your interests and tastes. We'll get buzzed into a hidden, vintage magazine shop, pass local landmarks, and end up at my all-time favorite bookstore in the Richmond district. I love used bookstores because the clerks are generally avid readers themselves, and often have insightful personal recommendations. I've been pointed in the direction of many great books that way
Sample mission street food Being on the streets has its perks.	San Francisco Bay Area North America Sausalito Berkeley Alameda Atherton
Jamie is a regular purveyor in the local music, food, and culture scenes and loves sharing her discoveries with others!
Come check out one of my favorite San Francisco past times (that just keeps getting better and is never the same twice)! The Mission has a vibrant gourmet street food scene that boasts everything from organic mushroom soup to chocolate ganache caramel tortes. We'll begin our tour as most good meals start, with a aperitif of soup made by Patrick (as seen in my profile picture), then we'll continue our culinary journey to discover what's on the menu further up Valencia. My personal favorite is the Indian fry bread taco and Michelle the Paris-trained pastry chef's tortes. After eating our look at a conveniently located parklette or heated outdoor patio, well grab some wine or a beer and stroll a gallery. After we've had our fill of local art, we'll meet up with one of the regular bakers or chocolatiers while nearby street musicians fill the evening air with sweet music.
Wildlife Walk in the Peruvian Amazon Piranhas and dolphins and alligators, oh my!	South America Iquitos

I would like to take you to see the Pacaya – Samiria, a reserve that can be accessed from the city of Iquitos in Peru, the best option for any tourist that likes nature and likes watching animals in their own habitats.

At night we can do frog, caiman, and alligator spotting. We can also find some other creatures like tarantulas and snakes, depending on the weather or on just plain luck. In this area we can enjoy wildlife together any time of the year, seeing the beautiful landscapes with gorgeous giant trees and many types of plants (both ornamental and medicinal). You will also have a very nice and peaceful time surrounding yourself with different sounds of the nature both during the day and at night. We can do all this activities within a space of at least four days, but I have to say that spending more time here means having more chances to find all the animals I have mentioned. I can arrange that we stay in the villagers’ houses, or we can set up camps in tents next to the rivers. Please let me know how long you would like to stay here, and I can plan the price and itinerary accordingly.

Walk the Berlin Wall Scholar-led seminar on the Berlin Wall	Europe Berlin

Led by a 20th century historian, this three-hour walk unravels the complex social, cultural and political history of the Berlin Wall by tracing a section of its former route through the city’s center. In doing so, we will investigate the Post-war background of the Wall’s construction, the physical realities of life in the city that it divided, and the implications of its fall for a reunified Berlin. Our main goal will be to understand the Wall for what it was: not merely a concrete barrier but also a controlled series of empty spaces and activities (searches, patrols, observations and checkpoints) that came to signify all the consequences of the division of Berlin and of Europe. Beginning at the Berlin Wall Memorial in Bernauer Strasse, the site of some of the earliest and most dramatic escape attempts from the communist GDR, we will stop at numerous exhibitions, memorials, artworks and historical locations in order to get a sense of the scale and nature of the city’s division. We will see how the Wall was constructed and expanded, the ways in which it was used as an ideological symbol by Cold War powers, and ultimately how and why it fell. Finally, we will discuss the irony that Berlin is now largely associated with a structure that no longer exists. The fate of the Wall since 1989 and the debates about place and identity to which it has given rise dramatize the larger issues of national identity in a newly unified Germany. As we pass the many memorializing sites along our itinerary—the “ghost stations” exhibit at Nordbahnhof, Karla Sachse’s artwork Kaninchenfeld (Rabbit Field), a preserved GDR watchtower, and others.

Trek Living Root Bridges Experience a page out of an Tolkien Novel.	Asia

The living bridges of Cherrapunji, India are made from the roots of the Ficus elastica tree. Cherrapunji is credited with being the wettest place on earth, and The War-Khasis, a tribe in Meghalaya, long ago noticed this tree and saw in its powerful roots an opportunity to easily cross the area’s many rivers. Now, whenever and wherever the need arises, they simply grow their bridges. The root bridges, some of which are over a hundred feet long, take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional, but they’re extraordinarily strong – strong enough that some of them can support the weight of fifty or more people at a time. Because they are alive and still growing, the bridges actually gain strength over time – and some of the ancient root bridges used daily by the people of the villages around Cherrapunji may be well over five hundred years old. In this trip you will get a chance to trek to these bridges and meet the local tribes who have built these incredible structures. You also get to see the cleanest village of Asia and stay in a tree house. The fourth highest waterfall is also located in Cherrapunji and is a treat for the eyes. Go to a world which feels like a page out of an children fantasy novel.

History of Castelvecchio sinks in the darkness of millenniums. Perhaps the hill on whose top Castelvecchio rises was inhabited even before the arrival of Etruscans.

That century was for Castelvecchio the epoch of military glory as it was quite an impregnable fortress. Around 1270 Castelvecchio become also a little "Eldorado" for silver, with searchers coming from every part of Italy. Its population quickly got wealthy, embellished the church entitled to St. Frediano and charged a well-known painter to make a fresco, of which only small pieces remain. In XIV century Castelvecchio begun to decline having lost its importance as military stronghold. A century later the spread of the plague provoked its abandon and its death.

He will teach you how champagne is made and how to taste wine properly. We’ll go together through the main wine regions of France – the grapes they grow, the style of wine they make.

We designed this tasting as a fun and different way to spend a meal in Paris.

The tasting starts at noon in a beautiful tasting room. We’ll taste five different wines, coming from five different regions of France. From Champagne to Bordeaux, from Sancerre to the Rhone… just sit back and enjoy this tasty Tour de France of wine and cheeses – O Chateau style! Most of the presentation will be focused on wine. Yet, your sommelier will suggest pairings, will explain to you why this cheese might work better with that wine. While you indulge in two of France’s best delicacies, you will learn about French wine, how to read a French label, how to pair it with food; you’ll be taken through a tour of France’s main wine regions… A day spent walking around Paris can sure create an appetite, so servings of wine and cheese are generous. Plus we add some charcuterie (smoked ham from the South West of France, saucisson from Corsica…) to bring even more joy and color to the table. Santé et bon appétit!

Abu Simbel temple The great temple of Ramses II	Africa Abu Simbel

Next to the Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel is perhaps the most recognized monument of ancient Egypt. The two temples built for the pharaoh Ramesses II have been attracting visitors since Victorian times. Almost as impressive as the monument itself is the story of its restoration in the 1960's. The temples had to be dismantled and physically moved 60 meters up a cliff where they were reassembled in the exact same relation to each other and the sun. Abu Simbel lies near the borders of Sudan, about 300 kilometers from Aswan. Earlier temples in Nubia had been located within forts, but here the confidence of Ramses II, whose reign may have lasted as many as 67 years, is illustrated; these temples, probably once brightly colored, were cut into the natural rock and lapped by the Nile. After eleven centuries of oblivion, these temples were rediscovered in 1813 when Johann Ludwig Burckhardt saw by accident the upper parts of the colossal figures. In 1817 Giovanni Battista Belzoni found the entrance, partially freed fr. *Itinerary: -Pick up from Your Hotel in Aswan at 3, 15 AM. -We drive to the Convoy area to start our Tour . -Arrive to Abu Simbel at 7am . -Two Hours to Visit the Abu Simbel Temple . -back to Convoy at 9 am . -Arrive to Aswan at 12 pm . -drop you off in Aswan city.

Snark in the Park I Came, I Drank, I Judged	San Francisco Bay Area North America Sausalito Alameda Berkeley Atherton

Do you ever notice that on a beautiful Indian Summer afternoon, all the beautiful people come out and play? I don't. I'm fairly certain that the reason why Dolores Park is so popular on the weekends is that it's a wonderful place to go when you need a boost in self-esteem. Feeling like an underachiever? Look at those kids slacklining - someone tell them there's no real world application for that BS. Feeling frumpy? Everyone is in hoodies and one-size-too-tight leggings. Feeling retarded? There's always someone who's high on a mystery and acting acting retarded-er. It's the perfect place to people watch, and more importantly, judge to your heart's content. I'll bring some wine and cheese and teach you how to pair them, as we judge the hipsters around us - because everyone knows that Confucius said, "Judging is best done when you're stuffing your face and getting drunk." So come out to the park, we'll imbibe, we'll indulge, and we'll JUDGE the crap out of everyone sitting nearby.

Embrace Decadence by Night Subversive and glamorous contemporary scenes!	Berlin Europe
Tamara is an expert degenerate that thrives on the naughty, eclectic, alternative night scene of Berlin.
Berlin is infamous for its sassy, tongue in cheek cabaret and burlesque traditions. Notably during the roaring nights of the Weimar republic, when creative use of tassels, lyrics, leather , gender role bending and application of glitter defied social conventions, legal restrictions, and in the early days of the third Reich - fascism itself. Alas, to the ill-informed observer, it would seem that those glorious days of smoky cutting edge theatrics are long gone. Devoured by somber reflections and restrained commercial diversions. Being a devotee and conossore of fine decadence, I refused to accept this apparent miserable state of affairs, and set out to discover the hidden packets of Weimar republic spirit in Berlin, excavating the sites of the legendary past, and unearthing halls and dives of degenerate preforming arts, very much alive and kicking. Fellow decadence fanciers might join me on a nighttime journey into the labyrinth. An exploration of Berlin's decadent underground- from tiny basement burlesques shows and nostalgic bars run by retired glamour girls, through industrial blood performances , to glamorous verity cabarets and pumping fetish and techno hedonist temples.
Venture to Hidden Markets Discover unique food markets with a chef!	Berlin Europe

Commonly associated with a diet of potatoes and sausages, the reputation of German cuisine leaves a lot to be desired. While this stereotype is partly founded- traditional German cuisine does consist mainly of fried and boiled animal products and starch- BERLIN cuisine is a different matter altogether. Berlin is the capital of German nouvelle cuisine, and the attempt to pimp up the traditional is fortunately infused and inspired by a culture of immigration. Influences of Slavic and Balkan as well as Austrian cuisine on the berlin fare can be detected hundreds of years back, and during the 20th century, other communities have started to make their distinct mark. As a chef, restaurant and food critic and a lover of inventive quality cuisine, I have made it my business to map out the best Berlin food experiences, focusing on the unsung gems of this city. Venture out for a professional's market crawl of little know food markets, regional shops and delicatessens, and learn how to use the ingredients purchased - at your hotel or with the aid of my Berlin fusion cuisine recipes.

Experience Ancient Sumo Learn from a professional sumo writer.	Tokyo Tokyo Japan Asia

See Japan’s ancient sport of sumo up close and in person at one of the three Tokyo tournaments each year – in January, May, and September, or perhaps down in Osaka (March) or Nagoya (July) which is only a short ride from the capital in the famed bullet train. I have been covering sumo for over a decade and have appeared on television and radio stations across the globe and am a regular go-to man for the media when looking for comments on sumo. And another sumo option: Very few ever get to see a real sumo tournament. Fewer see these men of strength practicing in their stables in the morning before tournaments. You can do both, but if there is not a tournament at the time of your trip, you can just come along and see the practice in the Ryogoku area of Tokyo with me, a professional sumo writer.

Tour our oldest Barrio Imagine Buenos Aires life as a young port town.	Ingeniero Allan Buenos Aires South America

During the 17th century, San Telmo was known as "San Pedro Heights," home to the city's growing contingent of ship workers. It was Buenos Aires' first industrial area.

Discover Street Art Get lost in Buenos Aires and be surprised	Buenos Aires Tigre Ingeniero Allan Capital Federal South America

Buenos Aires has a plenty of unique painted walls that say more about its personality than museums and books. Some of them are cute and sweet, while others clearly show rebellious and tough position of artists that created those pieces of art. Aigul is a Russian expat who came to Buenos Aires 2 years ago to work as a Marketer/Journalist and study theatre. During her daily walks in a "getting lost" style she found true treasures - painted walls that could beat any historical masterpieces with the power of expression and creativity. Later she got to know a group of professional painters (in a same way - walking in the street) that opened a whole hidden world of urban arts to her. Practically this world can't be found in typical tourists spots. So, would you like to get lost in the city and be surprised by what it hides?

With nearly 3000 years of continuous history Athens can be daunting. This basic overview walk is designed to help us get our bearings without being superficial. We'll explore some fundamental themes and draw our attention to specific details in order to make sense of this very rich but complicated city. Led by a variety of specialists from our network in Athens, this walk usually begins in Syntagma Square, the center of the city. With some archaeological finds from the construction of the metro and surrounded by 19th and 20th century buildings, Syntagma gives us a good base for shifting back and forth across time periods. There is much to explore, from Byzantine churches dating to the 11th century, a maze of streets from the same period, to modern art deco and contemporary meze restaurants. We may climb the north slope of the Acropolis to experience Anafiotika, the beguiling rural village clinging there, or head deeper towards Monastiraki.

Explore Chocolate's History The history of Chocolate in Barcelona	Barcelona Spain Europe

Catalans take their food history and culture seriously and nothing inspires them like a cup of thick, bitter chocolate served alongside fluffy, oblong melindros. This tradition of the afternoon merinda, similar to English tea, began with Columbus’ arrival in Barcelona with a fistful of unprocessed cacao beans. From its quiet beginnings to its global dominance as an affordable luxury, chocolate has shaped Barcelona’s eating culture. During this two-and-a-half-hour walking seminar will follow the course of chocolate history through the narrow streets of the old city and out onto the Ramblas, from 19th century bomboneries famous for dark truffles to the adventurous palates of 21st century chocolate masters. We’ll sample liquor-filled bonbons, watch freshly fried churros emerge from their oily baths, and duck into a traditional grocer stocked with fine local goods. Throughout the walk, we will explore chocolate’s roots as an Aztec import and its eventual adoption by all of Europe. Stemming from our discussions of chocolate, we will explore the larger world of confections and pastry that were incorporated into 19th century Barcelona café culture. Compare and contrast the differences between ornate modernista cafes and the humbler granjas of Barcelona. For decades, both provided meeting points for artists, dancers, poets, politicians, and everyday people, serving a rich array of delicate pastries and an assortment of sweet and caffeinated drinks. Whether you prefer a traditional ensaimada, baked with lard, or favor the bold flavors of chocolate mixed with wasabi, Barcelona’s café culture is still felt everyday at 6pm. Beginning at the port of Barcelona, where Christopher Columbus landed with a fist full of dried cacao beans and ending at the Modernista masterpieces.
Gaudi in Context A small group walk of Gaudi's architecture in cont	Barcelona Spain Europe

During this three hour tour through the heart of Barcelona, we’ll introduce the fantastic architecture of Antoni Gaudí, Barcelona’s most important architect, and situate his work within the context of Catalan society at the time. Besides visiting several of Gaudí’s most important works, we’ll look broadly at how Barcelona expanded in the late 19th and early 20th century and became a breeding ground for the modernist movement and, eventually, such luminaries as Miro and Picasso. We’ll begin by looking at the history of Barcelona and the growth of the city, introducing the urban planner Ildefons Cerda whose “enlargement” (eixample in Catalan) in 1859 laid out the modern city, much as Baron von Haussman did for Paris some years. With this architectural context as a backdrop, we’ll make our way through the Gothic Quarter to the Quadrat d’Or, visiting several masterpieces by Gaudí, including the Casa Batllo on the Manzana de la Discordia, and Casa Milá. We’ll also look at the works of some of Gaudí’s followers and rivals, including buildings by Puig i Cadafalch and the fantastic Palau de la Musica Catalana by Lluis Domenech i Montaner, the starting point of our walk. As we move through the physical city, through history, and through the aesthetic evolution of Barcelona we’ll look at how Gaudi's buildings fight against the modern grid and try to neutralize it in a fantastical way that borders on the absurd. We’ll learn to see his work in a new light and contextualize it within the history of the city. It is also possible to include a visit to Parc Guell on this walk when booked privately, which extends the duration to four hours and costs 330 euro. Parc Guell affords great views over the city and is a major work by Gaudí in its own right. Al
Big Dig Central Boston led by an architect	Boston North America

In the 1990s work began on what one of the most ambitious urban engineering projects in history: the burying of Boston's highway system to free its historic center from traffic, shadows, and unsightliness. Dubbed the "big dig" and lasting nearly twenty years, this mammoth project recast downtown Boston, returning its historical streets to the sun and transforming a curving swath of land into one of the best urban parks in the country. During this tour with an architectural historian, we will use the Big Dig as a lens to look deeper into the history of the city and trace its evolution from the 17th century to the present. This is very much a "built environment" walk, in which we'll look at buildings, streets, and the fabric of the city in order to "read" Boston's history, often hidden in overlooked details. We will begin by discussing the legacy of English architectural and town planning ideals as manifested in the Old Massachusetts State House and Fanueil Hall, two fundamental monuments in Boston. From here we'll pass by other notable buildings, including Quincy Market, the Custom House, and the nearby warehouse buildings of the Boston Granite School, which together trace the city’s physical expansion along the shoreline. Using historical maps for reference, we'll look at how topography and layout of the city have influenced its present form. We will see how successive styles of commercial buildings narrate the city’s economic development during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Brahmins of Boston Tour Beacon Hill and the Boston Common	Boston North America

At the dawn of the 19th century, descendants of the original Puritan settlers of Boston began to adopt a more enlightened, cosmopolitan, and progressive set of social and political mores. Taking their name from the elite upper caste of India, the "brahmins" of Boston presided over several decades of economic and social upheaval, which saw the birth of Unitarianism and the rise of fervent Abolitionism leading, eventually, to the Civil War. We'll look at how this group of Bostonians redefined their city and set the tone for rest of America during this period. We will begin just down slope at the Old South Meeting House, one of the oldest churches in Boston and the place where the Boston Tea Party was planned. Here we'll get our bearings with a brief overview of some of the social and political developments in Boston at the turn of the century (the turn of the 19th, that is). During our walk, one theme we'll address is how the Brahmin classes began to look outward, beyond Boston, to the world at large. Our walk will take us into the heart of Beacon Hill, where we'll discuss the architectural and urban planning context of this beguiling neighborhood, and visit such key landmarks as the Boston Common.
John Singer Sargent Seminar A small-group tour of John Singer Sargent's work	Boston North America

The American painter John Singer Sargent was born in Italy and spent most of his professional life in Paris and London. However, his touchstone in the U.S. was Boston. It was here that he interacted with America's finest patrons and painted some of his greatest works, many of which still hang in the city's museums. During this three-hour walk we'll explore the work and biography of John Singer Sargent and trace his influence on late 19th century and early 20th century American art. We'll begin our program at the Boston Public Library where Sargent painted a series of murals. Though not considered among his top works, the murals mark Sargent's first encounter with Boston and Bostonian society, a relationship that would later prove extremely influential to his career. We'll move from here to the Museum of Fine Arts or MFA, one of the country's most important art museums and a short trolley ride away. The MFA holds some of the most important works by Sargent, including an in-situ rotunda of his murals. With Europe—in particular Venice—on our mind, we'll move from here to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum across the street. Gardner was a prominent force in American art and art collecting at the end of the 19th century, and through her fascination for Venice (the museum is a recreation of a Venice palazzo) she came into contact with Sargent at the peak of his career, drawing him back to Boston for a time to consult with her on acquisitions and, of course, paint portraits of her and her friends. Sargent's portrait of Gardner, one of his most important works, still hangs in the Museum where, like all the artworks here, it was originally intended.
North End,Portrait of a City Group tour of Boston's North End,	Boston North America

Of all the city's neighborhoods none symbolizes and captures the essence of Boston than its North End, a maze of winding colonial-era streets and the backdrop to some of the most significant moments in American history. During this walking seminar with a local historian we will explore North End's back alleys and side streets, painting a portrait of Boston's evolution from the 17th to the 21st century. We begin our walk near the Blackstone Block, a small network of alleyways and structures dating back to the colonial era. John Hancock lived here, and several of the buildings still stand relatively unaltered from the 18th century. Using the streets themselves as visual clues we'll consider the topographical advantages of the North End for the early settlers in Boston. Our perambulations will take us through Haymarket, one of the city's longest standing outdoor markets and a place where northenders still buy their groceries. Tracing a path along streets that still bear the names of important Bostonians or long vanished features we'll discuss the major developments of the North End as it evolved into one of the busiest shipping ports on the Atlantic seaboard and became America's gateway to Europe.
Florence Evening Tour A private orientation to Florence by night	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

Perhaps the best way to get the pulse of a city is to explore it by night, when most Italians take part in the collective pre- or post-dinner walk called la passeggiata. This rite is the inspiration for our early evening orientation walk which transects the heart of the historical center of town and is aimed at giving a broad, yet comprehensive, view of Florence's past and present. Our walk begins in Piazza SS. Annunziata, an integral public space in the Florence city center. Here we look at one of the most important architectural spaces in Florence, the Ospedale degli Innocenti, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, and the cityscape context that surrounds it. After a 10-minute stroll down the shop- and cafe-filled Via dei Servi, we will arrive at Brunelleschi's later masterpiece, the Duomo. We will make a circuit of the exterior (as the church itself is closed at this hour) and discuss the importance of the cathedral and nearby Baptistery in Florentine art and civic history. From here, our course will depend on the whim of the group and the interests of the docent. We will surely move deeper into the center, perhaps to Piazza Signoria, the government center of Renaissance Florence, or to Piazza Repubblica, lined with some of the most famous cafes in Florence. Perhaps we'll take our time, stopping for a glass of wine or gelato and enjoying the atmosphere of the city.
Florence Orientation Chat A one-on-one orientation chat about Florence	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

Our orientation chat is a crash course to the city, designed to acclimate you to your surroundings and answer any questions you may have regarding your stay. We also aim to give our unparalleled local's knowledge of the restaurants, museums, events and sites you should not miss. Our orientation chat normally takes place in your hotel lobby shortly after your arrival, or we can opt to retire to a nearby cafe.

We will offer our advice on what is the best day to visit certain museums and monuments to when is the next general strike and how it might affect your visit. We'll bring along maps and our guidebooks to the city that will feature information germane to your particular visit. Not sure where to find a certain artwork or what time that church is open? Want to find a romantic, hole-in-the-wall where might eat the meal of your life? Have questions about local politics, radical history, or the latest research? Sit down, have a wine and we'll try to get you oriented.
Fresco Workshop A hands-on experience of making your own fresco	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

Fresco (literally fresh, in Italian) is the revered art of painting on fast-drying damp plaster with water based pigments. First employed in the 11th and 12th centuries as a means of simple decoration in churches, modern fresco painting soon grew into the medium of choice, mirroring the major artistic developments of the Renaissance. Major fresco works such as Giotto's Bardi Chapel in Santa Croce, Masaccio's Trinity in Santa Maria Novella, and Michelangelo's masterful Sistine Chapel in Rome demonstrate the importance of fresco in the history of art . This three-hour fresco workshop provides a hands-on experience of the materials and technique of fresco painting. The session begins with a visit to the studio of our docent, an accomplished fresco artist, and a brief lecture/overview of fresco. We are then guided through the steps of preparing a surface, drawing and transfering a drawing (cartoon), and finally applying the paint. At the end, participants take home their own fresco.
Hand Made in Florence A private walk of Oltrarno Artisans in Florence	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

The Florentine tradition of producing artisanal goods has been in existence for centuries and remains one of the cornerstones of Florence's visual and social history. Florentine leatherworkers, silversmiths, shoe manufacturers and hat makers have produced handmade goods for countless generations of kings and queens, princes and noblewomen and continue to this day, mostly in the area known as the Oltrarno ("on the other side of the Arno"). This three-hour walk will explore the private workshops of this characteristic neighborhood, providing a behind the scenes look at the current state of artisan production. We will begin in the lovely Piazza Santo Spirito and enjoy a stroll through the Oltrarno neighborhood, which has been home to artisans for the last five-hundred years. The group will have the opportunity to observe some of these craftsmen at work. We'll talk about Tuscan artisan traditions and the value and role of work and manufacturing in Italian culture. A portion of the booking fee for this walk is donated to the Context Foundation for Sustainable Travel which, among other things, supports an apprenticeship program for the artisans of the Oltrarno who often have a difficult time attracting and retaining apprentices to carry on their work traditions.
Science and Humanism Explore Museo Galileo and Renaissance Florence	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

This thematic, three-hour walk traces the explosion of scientific progress and the rise of humanism during the rule of the Medici family in Renaissance-era Florence. The Medicis Cosimo I and Ferdinand I were fervent patrons of the sciences, especially astronomy. Under their rule, Florence became a shining beacon for experimentation, which the Roman Church was frantically trying to suppress with the Inquisition. At the same time, humanism, stemming from the study of ancient Greek and Latin texts, was a new way of thinking about man's place in the world and became a recurring theme in Renaissance literature, art and social history. This walk will uncover some of the sites around town that stand as testament to this era of intellectual progress. We begin our walk at the Museo Galileo, where the most important Medicean collections of scientific instruments are preserved. The greatest among these collections include some of the original instruments that Galileo Galilei, one of the most outstanding figures of the Scientific Revolution. Our encounter with Galileo will shed some light on the Medicean systems of patronage, and on the way in which scientists shaped their own image inside a court. After visiting the museum, we will head to the center of town in order to trace the role of humanism in Renaissance Florence; be it through a delve into the poetry of Dante or Petrarch, a discussion of the drastic changes in the art of the period, or of the growing interest in the study of the traditional liberal arts.
Overview of the Medicis An in-depth portrait of the Medici family	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy Europe

The complex and dramatic story of the Medici family is inextricably linked to the history of Florence itself. Rising to power in the late 14th century, the Medici dominated the political, social, and religious scenes for the following 400 years. The visual confirmation of their importance is everywhere- their imposing family palaces, ornate churches, and their unmistakable family symbol: the Medici palle, or balls. During this three-and-a-half hour seminar, we will focus on the political and social history of Florence as it was directly influenced by the Medici family and their impact on the Renaissance. We begin chronologically with the church of San Marco, which was the family church of the Medici during their early history. This quiet space, a bit off the tourist track, will provide a pleasant backdrop for laying the groundwork of the Medici family history, especially their massive patronage to the arts. We'll step into the convent attached, where in the 1430s Cosimo Medici I founded one of the first public libraries in the world. We will then move on to the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, designed by Michelozzo (who also redesigned the convent of San Marco for the Dominicans), and the seat of Medici power in Florence for over a century. We will make a special visit to the Chapel of the Magi, decorated by Benozzo Gozzoli, which is a masterpiece of Renaissance fresco. Finally, we will visit the unfinished church of San Lorenzo, which was intended to be sole dominion of the Medici family at the end of their power. We will examine the work of Michelangelo, in the family chapel he created, which includes the tombs of Lorenzo il Magnifico and brother Giuliano, and discuss the Medici's art patronage, most notably personified in the figure of the great sculptor.
Life in Renaissance Florence Walk the same sites as Renaissance Florentines	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy North America

The Renaissance period is the most celebrated era in Florentine history. The graceful paintings, daunting family legacies, moving literary tomes and stunning architectural advancements that originated during this time live on in popular imagination as the true symbols of a fully evolved and enormously creative populace. This populace is where we will focus our attentions over the course of the next three hours. The walk aims to present a comprehensive look at the rich social history in play through a series of visits where we'll talk in-depth about private and public life, creativity, religion and politics of Renaissance Florentines. We'll start our time together at the medieval church of Orsanmichele. The church, once a grain market, represents the importance of the city's trade guilds who decorated the structure with ornate sculptures by some of the era's most significant artists. Orsanmichele is integral to understanding the economic and commercial atmosphere of the time. We will then continue on to the recently restored Palazzo Davanzati, an intact noble family's residence, which offers a remarkably accurate portrayal of the intimate domestic life of the Medieval and Renaissance Florentines. After winding our way through the narrow alleys of the compact city center, largely untouched since Renaissance times, we'll continue on to any one of the 15th-century churches whose altarpieces and frescoes tell numerous tales about life in the city during this exciting time of change and progress. Art, architecture, interior furnishings, consumer goods and clothing will all be discussed at length in order to create a complete visual narrative of the time period.
Uffizi Gallery Seminar Small-group walk of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence	Florence San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy North America

The Uffizi Gallery is perhaps the greatest repository of Renaissance and Mannerist artworks in the world. First created by Cosimo de' Medici I as office space for Florentine magistrates, this immense space soon began housing the resplendent art collection of the Medici family and was officially open for public viewing in the late 18th century. During the course of our three-hour walk, we will be led by an art historian who will share their deep knowledge of this renowned collection of art and will discuss the objective beauty of the works as well as their technical, political, and social connotations and their context within the whole of Renaissance society. The itinerary begins in Piazza Signoria with an overview of the historical and architectural context of the Uffizi palace and a discussion of the early period of the Florentine Renaissance. From the piazza, we will enter the museum with a timed appointment and spend two and a half hours immersed in one of the greatest art collections in the world, which includes works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Giotto, and Da Vinci. Your docent will narrate the history and evolution of Florentine art starting from the revolutionary new techniques introduced by Cimabue and Giotto, through the apex of harmony and naturalism, as symbolized by Botticelli and Lippi, and end with the exaggerated Mannerism of Parmigianino and Bronzino.
Bosphorus Walk: Asia & Back A group tour of the Bosphorus on the public ferry	Istanbul Turkey Asia

This three-hour cruise on the Bosphorus Strait, combined with a walking exploration of some of the small towns and neighborhoods along both sides of the waterway, is a perfect orientation to the city. It enables us to step back and see Istanbul from a distance, explore some of the larger geographical and historical themes that have shaped the city, and enjoy the Bosphorus. We begin at the main ferry pier in the historic center and take the public ferry over to the Asian side. As we cross through the busy sea traffic that plies the Strait, our docent will point out the major monuments and discuss the role of the Strait in modern commerce. As we ride, we'll enjoy a small glass of strong tea, a sophisticated tradition on the ferries. We'll spend the next few hours exploring the Asian side and the many faces of the city. Our tour will take us to a conservative part of town to visit a number of traditional mosques. This is a good jumping off point for introducing visitors to one of the big themes of Istanbul: the tension between secular Turkey and growing religious conservatism. We'll gain valuable insight into these questions by visiting local monuments and discovering the hidden nooks and crannies this often overlooked part of the city, far from the tourist crowds. Our adventure will also take us to a small fishing village where the Ottoman viziers and other notables built their villas. Although they are officially a part of Istanbul today, the villages of Cengelkoy and Kuzguncuk still retain their original character and provide yet another contrast in this megalopolis of 16 million people.
Cosmopolis- Istiklal Street A group tour of Istanbul's famous Istiklal Street	Istanbul Turkey Asia

Over the course of this three-hour stroll we'll explore the former diplomatic or "European" zone of the city where nationalities, religions, and the myriad peoples of this cosmopolitan city have mixed for the last 150 years. Beginning in Taksim Square and proceeding down the famous picturesque Istiklal Street, we'll trace a route through a part of Istanbul that Europeans settled during the 19th century, as the fading Ottoman Empire began a program of rapproachment with France, Germany, and the other powers to its west. Today, this heady period of cultural diversity is represented by a wonderful mix of neoclassical architecture and Art Nouveau, Parisian-style covered passages, and a vibrant street life of cafes, historic food shops, and fine restaurants.
Hagia Sofia Walking Seminar A group, scholar-led tour of the Hagia Sofia	Istanbul Turkey Asia

The church of Hagia Sofia represents the highest achievements of the Byzantine Empire. Originally constructed in the 6th century, it is considered to be one of the architectural wonders of the world with it's light-infused interior, massive dome, and mosaics. We'll begin our three-hour walk with the ancient Roman hippodrome (running track) and other remnants of the Roman empire that are located nearby. Here we will discuss the rise of Constantinople in the 4th century. Elements of Roman engineering and city building such as cisterns and sewers still remain in this area, which laid the foundation for the Byzantine Empire. We then move to the Hagia Sofia (the church of holy wisdom) itself. We will see the history of its construction, the rule of the emperor Justinian, and how the building came to be a major center for the Eastern Orthodox faith for nearly a millennium. We will pay particular attention to the architectural design and engineering of the structure, including its innovative dome, one of the largest in the world. We will also spend time dealing with the exquisite 10th century mosaics. We will conclude by turning our attention to the Ottoman reinvention and rescue of the building in the 15th and 16th centuries, when it was converted into a mosque.
History Through the Ages A group tour of the Chora Church and Balat	Istanbul Turkey Asia

Focusing on the working class neighborhood of Balat with the majestic Chora church (Kariye) at its heart, we'll look at the progress of Istanbul history, through its highs and lows, from the late Roman to contemporary periods through the lens of a single city quarter and its evolution through time. We begin with Kariye, which is one of Istanbul's most important monuments. Originally built in the 5th century but dramatically rebuilt in the 11th, the church is a palimpsest of the cultures, religions, and empires that have ruled Istanbul throughout history. We'll discuss its architecture and decoration, including the vibrant 14th century mosaics and frescos emblematic of the high Byzantine empire. We will continue our walk along the city's 5th century walls, getting views where we can of the Roman and Byzantine ruins that lay near them, but also focusing on the vibrant, modern neighborhood that has grown up nearby. Home to the oldest synagogue in Istanbul and also the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, Balat has traditionally been a melting pot of immigrants and "outsiders" in Istanbul, including Jews, Orthodox Christians, and others. Today, it is populated by many migrants from Anatolia, giving it an authentic character emblematic of the changes taking place in Istanbul currently. We'll discuss the demography of the city, its myriad cultures and the urban tapestry that they weave. By the time we reach Fener pier on the Golden Horn, where one can grab a ferry to most anyplace in the city, we'll have immersed ourselves in the real Istanbul, a place where history and contemporary life jostled shoulder to shoulder.

Learn to Knit a Hat Purl up with a good yarn	San Francisco Bay Area Sausalito Alameda Berkeley San Leandro Burlingame San Pablo Atherton California United States North America

I was lucky enough to learn to knit when I was just a babe by my little polish grandma, but for some, the thought of knitting and purling a warm cozy hat by hand seems like quite a yarn. But the truth is you're really only two stiches away from an endless universe of hats, scarves, and toaster cozys. In 1-2 hours I will teach you how to cast on and cast off, to knit and purl, then set you on your way to making a hat from scratch. While the actual knitting will take about a week of after work/couch time, I can be on call to answer any questions or for motivational support until you finish your first project.

Hike Three Beautiful Zilkers Explore Austin's fusion of nature and urban life	Austin Texas United States North America

In Austin, Zilker is a name synonymous with urban parks and recreation, and this tour amply demonstrates why. We begin in Zilker Metropolitan Park -- get ready for a barefoot walk across the Great Lawn, home to the Austin City Limits Festival, and a true delight for your feet. This is also the first of several unique views of downtown Austin, so be sure to bring your camera. A short hike brings us to the Zilker Nature Preserve, a 60-acre slice of wilderness with escarpments, a fern gully, and prickly pear studded meadows. There is also a cliff trail that affords an amazing view of Austin and its merger of city and nature. Totally worth the thigh-burning climb! Finally, another short hike leads us to the Zilker Botanical Garden, 31 acres of carefully manicured gardens featuring native and hybrid plants in a variety of different settings. The tour ends where it began, in Zilker Park, which also offers plenty of additional fun, like swimming in Barton Springs Pool, renting a canoe, or exploring the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Favela Comparison Experience Get to know a completely different side of Rio	Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Brazil South America

Most people from outside of Brazil see the favelas as one area, which is completely dangerous and poor. In reality there are many different types of favelas, with different charms and social realities. Come with Jason and explore three unique and interesting favelas: Vidigal, Complexo do Alemão, and Rocinha. The experience begins in Vidigal, which holds the crown as the most stunningly beautiful community in Rio and has a small population of North Eastern migrants who put up informal housing on the imposing hill overlooking Leblon and Ipanema Beach. Next on the list is Rocinha, the largest slum in all of Latin America. Feel the pulsating energy of this bustling city within a city as you get to know the charismatic inhabitants. After this get ready for a completely different favela, Complexo do Alemão, as you take the gondola across this imposing landscape. The one arching similarity between all of these interesting favelas is the safety. All favelas in the Zona Sul are going through a pacification process, which for the most part has left these areas free of most petty crime and danger.
Historical London Walk the Real London	London England United Kingdom Europe

The streets of London are alive with a sordid 2000-year history which stretches back to its birth as the Roman city, once known as Londinium and is closely intertwined with the history of the monarchy. Learn of the white tower, the yomen warders, the crown jewels, the ravens, tower green, ghost stories, Kings and Queens and many executions. The profound royal influence is still obvious today but runs much deeper than physical architecture and geography. You will be surrounded by a medieval city rich in history. You'll hear stories of the Roman Invasion, Saxons, Mithraism, Body Snatchers, St Pauls Cathedral, the Great Fire, the Great Plague, the financial heart of the world, Sweeny Todd, the Tower of London, amongst other places.
West Village Bar Crawl Booze your way through NYC's hippest neighborhood	Manhattan New York City Elmhurst Brooklyn Newark South Orange Glen Cove New York United States North America

If you're looking for a perfect night of moderate to heavy drinking, you HAVE to go to the right bars. West Village is the best neighborhood for bar crawling, but only if you know where you're going, otherwise you'll end up drinking $12 margaritas with a bunch of dooshers. I'll customize your bar crawl based on your taste. A typical itinerary may include the best handmade cocktails you've ever had, a couple of zombie drinks at a locals-only beach bar, a quick stop at a second floor spot where I've never not seen a celebrity, then a strong finish at a local watering hole that also happens to serve the best burgers in NYC bar none.

Finally, we'll head off to enjoy what every English person enjoys: afternoon tea, scones with clotted cream and jam and sandwiches cut into triangles without the crust. It's a simply sublime way to end the afternoon.

We'll start the night off at one of London's top cocktail bars, where we'll enjoy 2-for-1 cocktails.

Exploring Austin Live Music The past and present of Austin's music districts	Austin Texas United States North America

East London Street Food Tour Eat your way through East London's markets!	London England United Kingdom Europe

London's street food scene has exploded into life. Only five years ago, you'd be lucky to find much more than soggy burgers and chewy bacon baps. Today, London's pioneering street food vendors are taking their cues from New York, Los Angeles and Singapore - and some of the finest food in the city can be found on the streets of East London. This tour will take you from Whitechapel to London Fields, via Brick Lane, Hoxton Street and Columbia Road. We'll eat traditional Cockney fare, Bangladeshi snacks, East End Jewish food, fantastic Vietnamese treats, London's best burgers - and we'll make an early stop for world-class coffee to fuel the journey. The precise itinerary will vary according to the time of year and the day of the week, but there will be six or seven food stops, and you'll be full by the end of the trip. Promise. As well as talking about food, we'll touch upon the East End's history and touch upon its shopping, galleries, street art, music scene and politics (although I must stress, it's not a Jack the Ripper tour!). I'm a journalist and food writer, and I've written about (and eaten) street food around the world. I recently wrote a cover story on London's street food scene for EasyJet's inflight magazine and I have plenty of insider tips on where to go and eat and drink in London. It's a bit chilly outside right now (street food and snow aren't a great combination) but I plan to start this tour in mid-March and increase frequency in the summer. I'm a travel writer and sometimes have to travel at weekends, so please email first to check my availability.
London Portrait of a City Revisiting History!	London England United Kingdom Europe

London has a rich 2000 year old history, but much of it is hidden and hard to perceive by the uninitiated. This walk seeks to bring to light much of this history, looking broadly at the story of the city. For the purposes of this walk we will focus on the City itself and see how London developed from a Roman town to the bustling financial centre of an empire.
East End Sunday Market walk Experience the bustling cultural East End vibe	London England United Kingdom Europe

This is a 2.5-hour tour through the east of the city's vibrant and flourishing Sunday market scene, celebrating the area's rich history and incredible rejuvenation in the past decade or so. The tour can be tailored to suit specific requests, but begins with an early morning coffee meet-up at Columbia Road Flower Market, a bustling flower and plant street market lined with quaint boutiques selling anything from quirky gifts and jewelry to garden furniture and curios. (Hearing stallholders' bellows about their wares for sale is a non-optional add-on!) A stroll through the back streets leads to the sprawling Brick Lane market area, an East End institution which makes for fascinating browsing and includes the famous "Little India" of Brick Lane itself. Included in the walk are the interesting artisan boutiques and independent stores which have sprung up in recent years alongside the stalls selling clothing and bric-a-brac. The walk ends at Spitalfields Market, a charming covered iron and glass market near Liverpool Street Station, which now has as many shops and cafes as it does stalls.
Charles Dickens Tour Bring words to life & explore Dickens' imagination	London Inglaterra North America

This tour of London focuses on the life and work of Charles Dickens, a critical figure in English Literature in the middle of the 19th century. By connecting a number of his works to the places related to his life and characters, we'll paint a portrait of Dickens, his era, and the social context in which he lived. Also, this tour offers us the opportunity to discuss the influence of the city and its history on the style and on the personal life of Dickens and his contemporaries working in other disciplines. By the end of our time together we'll emerge with a very vivid painted portrait of the time in this context.
Shakespeare & theatre The places that made history in theatre.	London Inglaterra North America

A walk around the historic sites of the London theatre world is a great way to get behind the sprawl of modern London. On our walk, we will reconstruct London as it was in past centuries, and understand the social and artistic forces that were born here and that still underpin our world. We will begin our walk at the Globe Theatre, the recent reconstruction of the playhouse where many of Shakespeare's plays were premiered. Standing in the Globe is a transporting experience: it takes us back to a time when the theatre was a public arena, when plays were a part of everyday life. At the same time, as we explore the surrounding area, we will discover that the theatre was for long so feared that it was banished across the river. Crossing the river, we will find ourselves transported two centuries forwards, to an era when two great Royal theatres, Drury Lane and Covent Garden, dominated London's social life. We will explore one of the theatres, both of which have a two-hundred-year legacy, and talk about a few of the legendary performances that gripped audiences in a way that no star could match today. The story of how the theatre turned respectable is also the story of how London changed from an anarchic free-for-all into the proud, somewhat pompous Victorian capital that we see around us today. It's also the story of Shakespeare: of how an obscure boy from the English Midlands awkwardly and haltingly became recognized as the greatest dramatist the world has known.
Jewish London Tracing the history of the Jewish community!	London Inglaterra North America

From Jewry Street—where first Jewish community of London made their home 800 years ago—to Bevis Marks—the first purpose built Sephardi Synagogue opened in 1701— we will delve into the stories of the Jewish families that lived, struggled and prospered in this area of London. Continuing East, we will come across Gravel Lane and the site of the famous Petticoat Lane Market. It was here that hundreds of Ashkenazi Jews worked and settled in the 18th century. We will discuss the importance of the rag trade (selling second hand clothes) and the role of "The Jewish welfare board,” which was established in 1859. After a quick visit to Sandy’s Row Synagogue we will finish our walk at the moving Kinder Transport Memorial, located at Liverpool Street Station. In 1938 the British Government gave permission for 10,000 Jewish refugee children to enter the country after escaping from Nazi Germany. The children were saved, but never saw their parents again. As Liverpool Street Station was the site of their arrival, this fitting monument was placed to preserve their memory. Our Jewish London walking seminar weaves a tale of the history of the Jewish community in London, giving visitors a distinct sense of its rich cultural and history. Spanning a wide time span, our docent, an expert in Jewish history, will provide you with a deeper sense of how these communities developed, from their initial inception in 1066 and subsequent flourishing in the 17th century through their trials during WWII and triumphs in modern London.
Street-Art Bike Tour Enjoy Austin's street art & street food on a bike!	Austin Texas United States North America

East Austin is a museum of hidden street art, murals & graffiti, and the ideal way to take it in is by bike.
