They are the friend you wish you had in every corner of the world: a local who knows the area inside out and invites travellers to join them for an informal stroll shaped around their tastes. You'll benefit from their tips and insider contacts: the trendiest neighbourhoods, charming little restaurants, secret coves, the perfect terrace for a sunset drink, the latest concept store – all while learning about local life and customs. An informative, relaxed, privileged, and truly convivial moment.
This expat holds a London taxi licence. So, climb aboard his black cab, sketch out a plan of action and set off for a few hours of hop-on hop-off discovery through the insider’s London. Take in the city’s full spectrum of architectural styles, step into centuries-old shops, wander through trendy new neighbourhoods, hunt for treasures in a well-hidden vintage market, and finally unwind in the cosy warmth of a softly lit pub.

A trained architect, Sandrine has a keen eye for local creativity and brings her professional perspective – a real asset when it comes to truly understanding the city, its layout and historic architecture, while also highlighting its modern side. She has a unique talent for capturing the attention of our teenagers, who love meeting passionate artists and designers, hunting for jewellery and spices at Greenmarket Square, or posting selfies in front of the colourful façades of the Bo-Kaap district.

9am – Meet Denis, an expat with an infectious smile. He invites you to discover Paddington, one of his favourite neighbourhoods, away from the usual tourist trails. Hippie market, concept stores and microcafés. In Potts Point, we sip an apple, mint and ginger juice, then head to the fish market for a true taste of local life. Over a light snack and a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Denis answers all our questions about the country and shares his tips for the rest of our journey.

Some clichés are meant to be experienced, and Rio is one of them – a city surrounded by a myth almost larger than life. Bursting with energy and smiles, Rio is a celebration. In the evening, we meet up with Guillaume, an expat turned Carioca, who takes us under his wing to reveal his favourite spots and live Brazil’s tropical nights to the fullest. Ipanema rooftops, trendy bars in Leblon, electro hotspots in Botafogo or samba clubs in Lapa: the city dances until dawn, and so do we.
