I highly recommend Guidester. They helped us create a fantastic, custom itinerary complete with everything we needed. Guidester's wealth of knowledge and attention to detail allowed them to tailor our trip to our individual taste. Looking forward to working with Guidester again.

They recommended tons of things to see in the Black Forest region of Germany as well as in Austria.

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

This was easy to say yes to and I had to do no planning beyond basic booking. 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
