NY Times recognizes InTouch Travel for tours connecting travelers to a city’s “immediate buzz”
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -– Whether it’s a pub crawl in Berlin or a peek into the hidden courtyards of Paris, adventurous travelers are increasingly choosing “lifestyle” tours that give them instant access to a city’s culture, writes Gisela Williams in The New York Times. Her article in today’s Travel section profiles half a dozen such tours and points readers toward InTouch Travel to book others.
“The phone hasn’t stopped ringing, and we’ve had dozens of email inquiries,” says InTouch Travel’s founder Andrea Nims. “More and more travelers want to experience something new, and a couple of days of cultural immersion is very appealing.”
One of the InTouch Travel hosts, Henrik Tidefjard, was featured in the Times article. The founder of Berlinagenten, he takes his private clients on a one-night, five-course “gastro-rallye.” His InTouch guests accompany him for two days and nights as he prowls the city and its neighborhoods, gathering material for his website.
Another InTouch host, photographer Josef Schomburg, recently hosted a couple from New York City for two days while he did historical research for his “behind closed doors” walking tours of Paris.
InTouch Travel was launched less than a year ago to provide a variety of opportunities for “cultural travel.” The company offers the services of 75 hosts in 12 countries. They are fluent English speakers in a wide range of professions, from journalists to university professors.
Travelers pay a flat rate of $650 per guest per day, which covers all meals and expenses as well as a stipend to the host. Hotel accommodations can also be arranged for guests.
