They recommended tons of things to see in the Black Forest region of Germany as well as in Austria. Many of the day trip additions we never thought of and ended up being our favorite parts of the trip. The guide had lots of helpful tips and some of our favorite restaurant recommendations came from it. Definitely recommend!! read less

It was frustrating and confusing to sort through ALL of the things that went into this trip. Before we left for our trip we decided to get a guide from Guidester. I was sent an email link to a simple yet aesthetically pleasing questionnaire on their site. It asked about the details of our trip, what we like to do, how busy we'd like to be, etc. Based on our answers we would got a guidebook to be downloaded on our phone. I wasn't sure what to expect, I thought maybe an itinerary or a list of places. I was blown away by every aspect of the book. First off it's again aesthetically pleasing, colorful, detailed, and quickly downloaded as an ebook on my phone. It had an about page for each city, things to know as far as travel options (bus, train, bike, rental cars), sites to see, places to eat. It felt tailor made for us, and it was because of the questionnaire. The best part for me was the google map that opened to a website with all of the site suggestions pinned. These were in different colors as well (food one color, sites another). We could see where things were and could plan a route of sorts for each day, maximizing time and energy. I'm detailed orientated, love to plan, but this will be a no brainer next time we travel. Definitely worth it. read less

 Great travel guides that really help me get the most from my vacation!

 We absolutely loved our trip, and Guidester was very helpful in getting everything planned. This positive experience left us very much looking forward to our next trip, and I have no doubt that Guidester will point us in the right direction again, and make planning a breeze. Thanks!

This was easy to say "yes" to and I had to do no planning beyond booking a round-trip flight. Every day was an adventure and the travel was there making sure we knew what to do each day. With plenty of guidance and lots of free time, it was a perfect blend of history, culture and just getting away from it all. I highly recommend Guidester's travel guide and look forward to another one in the future. read less

 Being totally unfamiliar with Switzerland we decided to have Guidester arrange our itinerary and we could not be happier. All of our daily activity suggestions were “Swiss” clockwork perfect. Thank you Guidester, we’re looking forward to traveling again.

Always, #1 on my proverbial' bucket list', Italy has felt like a remote promise.
Jack and Guidester has a vast landscape of experience with International travel, so do not let his millennial youthfulness fool you! He looks at travel through the eye of a seasoned explorer and vets the most unusual, intimate experiences for his group of travelers. My favorites in Italy were the Jewish Ghetto in Rome, dinner at a friend's private villa (that just happened to be literally right on the Appian Way) and a completely relaxing day in Tuscany visiting a most charming, off the grid, winery. We definitely walked and walked and walked even more, being led many days by one of several, passionate guides who lovingly shared more knowledge than could be assimilated. Jack holds the philosophy of sharing intimately what he has seen and learned. Count me in on at more adventures!! read less
