AHMAD ALJUAED
I cannot imagine a better guide than my guide, Salman, for introducing me to the city of Riyadh's cultural and historical sites. He is not only a genuine and friendly person with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, he is intelligent and articulate in showing a guest from outside of the region (in my case, from the United States) of what makes Saudi Arabia's culture unique. No question or discussion was off limits, and I found myself being introduced to all kinds of interesting people, places, and FOOD, with this elegant and warm-hearted teacher. Thank you, Salman!
Jairos Adventure
With only four days to spend in the Moshi/Arusha area, Jairos Adventures did an excellent job of creating a complete custom tour for me. The two licensed guides I had -- Herman for a two-day overnight safari and Solomon, an experienced trekking guide for a day climb on Mount Kilimanjaro -- were both excellent. Each knew their subject matters like experts. Hermann seemed to have an instinct for knowing exactly where to go on our day-long safaris (first in Lake Manayera Park and then Ngorongoro Crater) to show me every kind of wild animal, exotic bird, and native trees and flowers I could ever hope to see, and he was very good at answering questions on topics ranging from animal behavior to the culture and customs of local Tanzanians. Likewise, Solomon guided me on a 5-hour trek on the Marangu Gate route up to the Mandara Huts camp and back explaining what the full trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro is like, pointing out waterfalls and wildflowers along the way. All in all, the company really went out of its way to do a great job and make me feel welcomed, even until the very last moment when the owner personally escorted me to my departing flight at the airport.
bon chem
Bon was the PERFECT guide for me for my 3.5 days tours of Angkor Wat, the Siem Reap area ruins, and the Tonle Sap lake communities. INTELLIGENT, GRACIOUS, and with FLAWLESS ENGLISH, he is easy-going and easy to learn and ask questions with. We covered a lot of sights and stories in an effortless yet organized way and his flexibility allowed for a comfortable way to take in so much in a short time. He even made sure that his drivers greeted us after every stop with a cold towel (important in the Cambodian heat) and plenty of bottles of cool water bottle, and the transportation from tuk-tuk to mini-van was perfect. I could not have asked for a better private guide!
