“Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.”

About

I am an outgoing travel addict looking to burst back into the travel industry post-pandemic. My love for people and culture fuels my passion for travel. I have experience working as a guide and as a travel specialist. My life is dedicated to learning as much as I can about as many places as possible. Though guiding I get to share my love of history and fun facts with like minded people. Nothing is more rewarding than ensuring people have made the most of the holiday, I believe working with people on a personal friendly basis, empowers me to provide the perfect level of customer service.

Ultimate Winter Adventure review
3rd December 2019

Did a trip to Munich, Switzerland, Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam with Ryan - he knew what to do in each place, he knew how to get to each site in the cities and was a great laugh haha. He also did an epic scavenger hunt in Amsterdam which I honestly recommend to everyone going

Ultimate Scandi-Baltic review
21st June 2019

Ryan was the best guide I have ever had. His knowledge and enthusiasm was second to none, and he always went out of his way to make our trip the best it could be. Absolute legend.

Ibiza Blast review
4th June 2019

Ryan was an absolute LEGEND! There are not enough words in the English language to describe him. From day 1 he showed us the best time. Even when an issue arose, he remained professional and never let it show to the rest of the group. Busabout has a real gem with him as a guide!

Vietnam & Halong Bay Adventure review
23rd February 2019

Ryan is honestly the best tour guide I've ever had. I wish I had him everytime I travelled. Very accommodating, funny and overall a genuine good guy. Ryan literally pulled everyone and everything together in this tour and the tour wouldn't be the same without him. The tour was very well organised. The accommodation and the food was awesome and lived up to my expectations. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend this tour and Ryan to all my friend.

Ultimate Scandi-Baltic review
7th July 2018

Ryan was an amazing guide! He went out of his way to get to know everyone and really made everyone feel included which I think is super important when you are travelling on a tour. I loved his orientation walks around the cities and he managed to somehow make the long bus rides interesting and fun with his games and stories. Thanks for being an amazing guide Ryan!!
