It's the growing pains of a broadening perspective.
You get to realize that we are not the norm.
Before COVID on a trip to Vietnam, your guides had an idea. Wouldn't it be amazing to share all these travels and encounters with others? The far away, hidden areas. The delicious discoveries and the sometimes uncomfortable situations that uncovering new cultures bring to the experience.
Years have passed but that seed has grown and our love of travel has only deepened. We believe travel is part of a life well lived.
To maximize the experience, our group will be small. (max 8 travellers joining our guides) This allows us to access locations large and small and really get to know each other. The adventures, however, will never be small and the memories we create will be far-reaching and forever.
We travel because we become uncomfortable being comfortable.
This small group experience led us through the streets of San Francisco where we had never been before. From street markets to Michelin star restaurants, from a boutique cocktail lounge to a hidden Speak-Easy, a VW bus tour of the city or a street parade at the Embarcadero… and so much more. Uri and James were the perfect tour guides. They kept us intrigued and curious as to where our next adventure would take us. This tour was very well organized, and each participant became a valued member of the group. Thank you and we can’t wait to join the next Culture Shock Tour!
