Alvin was amazing. Very knowledgeable, right level of information, paced correctly with a great sense of humour. Lovely 2 hours on a private tour getting to know Mao.

Our guide didn't just spew dates and who's who in history. He told stories and how events impacted the people. The pacing of our tour was excellent. We would highly recommend this guide on this tour.

From the very beginning, our private walking tour of Mahon, guided by the wonderful Alvin, was nothing short of remarkable. Alvin was not only responsive and accommodating during the booking process but also personally met us at our hotel reception, setting a friendly and welcoming tone for the day. Alvin's depth of knowledge about Menorca and his ability to deliver information in a fun, engaging way truly brought the island's history and culture to life. His open and likable personality, paired with his infectious enthusiasm, made our tour experience exceptionally memorable. It was evident that Alvin is well-regarded in the community: numerous locals greeted him warmly during our walk, with one even proclaiming him "the best guide on Menorca" – a sentiment we wholeheartedly agree with. The tour left us with a profound appreciation for Menorca, painting it as an incredibly interesting place with so much more to explore. We'll be coming back to Menorca to delve deeper into its rich history, a desire sparked by the unforgettable experience provided by Alvin. For anyone looking to discover Mahon and learn about its rich history and culture, Alvin is your go-to guide. His expertise, combined with his warm and engaging approach, guarantees an unforgettable tour experience. We cannot recommend him highly enough and look forward to our next adventure with him.

Alvin is a local who has extensive prior experience as a tour guide in many other locations around the world, so he has a very well polished, professional yet very amiable style. He has knowledge of the history, architecture and present-day local personalities; we even got the privilege of meeting the local the rock-slinging champion! I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome walking tour, we have done walking tours in almost every city we have visited and this one was perfect. It was the right amount of history, fun stories, and current day information. Alvin answered all of our questions and then some. He was super quick to reach out after booking and confirm where we would meet, he even answered some unrelated questions about Mahon for the rest of our stay. We had a great time and learned so much. Alvin answered questions that our guides from previous days didn't have the answers for. The tour was 2 hours and covered a ton, I would book again without hesitation.
