Rome

It was an incredibly beautiful location and the guides were lovely, warm, fun and interesting

Micky and Adry’s tours are always enjoyable. These two guides are very knowledgeable and personable. I have done many tours with Micky and Adry and I have enjoyed every tour. They are very pleasant and respectful, and they make everyone feel welcome. It is so special when Micky sings at the end of the tours, just love her beautiful voice. 

Had a wonderful time in a magical neighborhood! Thank you!

Breathtaking scenery and wonderful tour guides. Great personality and great knowledge. Have only joined Heygo last week and getting used to it. So far tremendous. 5 Stars*****

Really interesting neighborhood. The facades of the building had so much symbolism and Micky & Adry were so good to point out the major ones and their meanings.  

Camera work paned slowley and an appolgy was given for "the finger" pointing out the details, which otherwise might have been missed.

Great tour. I would say that the time shown should be adjusted - from 45 minutes to 65. However, the extra 20 minutes was necessery, as there was so much information to be given in this small area and I am sure this was only the highights?

Beautiful and stunning architecture. Terrific tour guides and they did a great job showing and explaining details of each building. 

there were no problems with video and audio quality

I found this tour very interesting.  I have been in Rome several times, but never to this fascinating area, it was lovely to see, and to learn of another place we should visit next time we are there.

A beautiful off the beaten path tour! Highly recommended!

Occasionally when Ardy talked in front of camera was very hard to hear what he was saying

Definitely one of my favourite tours. This neighbourhood is enchanting as a fairy tale

Lovely idea to tour around a neighbourhood. Next time being in Rome I want to go there. 

Great trip great guides...very informative and full of fun.

I always enjoy trips with Micky and Adry! They are such fun... perfect friends to have... and share lots of information and fascinating facts. Brilliant! 👏🙂🌈

Micky and Adry provided great descriptions and commentary on two non-tourist places, Our Lady of Sorrows (Argentinian) Church and Coppedé, a fairy tale community.

It seemed to be in a Disney movie. Beautiful and less known area of Rome. A must see tour!

I found two guides a bit confusing. Dwelt too long on  pepper night club.

Beautiful neighborhood in Rome. Enchanting!

A fairytale! You can't miss this... way better than other more known tours

LOVED IT! A MAGICAL WORLD! DON'T MISS IT!

Micky and Adry, a young and enthusiastic couple, took us around  Coppede, an out off-the-beaten-track neighbourhood in Rome. It was a surprise to discover such original architecture, a mix of medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau styles that give the buildings a unique look. I fully enjoyed the "passeggiata"!  A "not to miss" tour!


This was a beautiful area of Rome with many beautiful buildings. Micky and Adry gave lots of great information about this location and made the trip a lot of fun.

Nov 27/28 - Origami Santa Clause & Cat Envelope
What you need: 2 pieces of square paper, pens (black & red) 

Origami is the art of paper folding. It's a way of folding a single sheet of square paper into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, taping, or even marking it. 
In Japan, origami is taught at home and in school. Many Japanese people have fond memories of their first origami experiences in kindergarten where they learned to create paper animals with friends. 

On this tour, Eriko will share with you the culture of Japanese paper folding as well as a variety of origami models including flowers, boxes, and jumping frogs (it may be different each time!). Origami is not only fun but enhances your creativity. It's also been proven to possess therapeutic advantages!

You can be anywhere in the world, all you need is a sheet of paper. You can fold a paper along with Eriko or just enjoy watching how a piece of paper transforms into a sculpture. Let's explore the joy of origami together.

Jewish Odessa Tour Part 6 - Odessa's Jewish Cemetery

November on Heygo we will celebrate Black History Month in Brazil with Brazilian Guides in Bahia (me) & Rio (Kelly and Tati) and friends/tour guides around the world.

In this Black History Tour, I will introduce the Afro-Brazilian religion called Candomble and the Orixas. 

Candomblé is an African diasporic religion that developed in Brazil during the 19th century. It arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West Africa, especially that of the Yoruba, and the Roman Catholic form of Christianity.

We can not talk about Candomble without talking about the "Maes de Santo" the female leaders of Candomble Houses also known as " Mulheres do Axe" (Ladies of Ase).

For a very special trip we invite you on a horse drawn carriage to discover one of the most remote villages of Romania where simply the time stood by.

Viscri (or Weiskirich in Saxon dialect) is all about the authentic village life in Transylvania but also the rich history behind its UNESCO Fortified Church. And this is going to be the future too for this UNESCO village, where Saxons arrived starting with 12th century and have put their mark on the history of Transylvania.

Many might say that Viscri became famous due to the presence of HRH Prince Charles of Wales who felt in love with Transylvania and even bought a traditional Saxon house in the village back in 2006. But few know that a handful of locals led by very few Saxons still living in Viscri have contributed to the village's revival, especially by trying to not change their authentic and sustainable way of life.

The Northern Region has a unique culture that is quite different from the Bantu regions, including its special cultural dishes. 

The two decades of war period may have phased out many high value nutritious cherished dishes, particularly for the Acholi tradition. There have been robust efforts to revive the once extinct dishes for example in some institutions. However, this is still challenged by the shortage of ingredients or raw materials required for their full preparation.

Lakoto-koto is a cherished Acholi simsim sauce dish. The sauce's core ingredient is ground raw sesame seeds "simsim." This can be mixed with either dry fish, silverfish or types of greens such as the locally known "otigo", "oboko kwer", and "gobe." 
Tomatoes can be added to enrich the taste.
The actual process can be quite long as the simsim has to be ground and oil has to be constantly removed.

Process:
1. Wash raw simsim (simsim may have beats of soil/sand for thorough removal)
2. Dry the washed simsim in the sun
3. Pound simsim (we shall use a local grinding stone- for your local experience)
4. Squeeze the sim sim dough to get the oil out
5. Boil your desired greens ie "oboko kwer", "gobe" or dry fish/silverfish
6. Put the squeezed sim sim in the boiling (5)
7. Add tomatoes to the mixture and stir till ready (5&6) 

In preparation of these dishes, the main focus is making the sauce which is the major dish. This is then served with its specific foods. 

Lakoto-koto is best served with millet bread "Kwon Kal." Kwon Kal is prepared by mingling a thick paste of millet flour from very hot boiling water!
