YOUR ROCK-N-ROLL TOUR GUIDES
Albert:
Here is MY story: Lawyer by day, rock-n-roll adventurer by night. Several years ago I began working and volunteering at festivals. In short time I began my own music production company Ghostfinger Productions. The idea for a music-oriented adventure tour occurred in the summer of 2011. A friend and I headed to Europe for some music festivals. 17 days, 10 cities, 5 countries, 4 festivals, and 3 concerts later; I had the best time of my life. Hotel, hostels and overnight trains, fancy restaurants and street vendor fair. Exhilarating, exasperating, the trip was truly an experience of a lifetime. Expect anything and everything to happen all the time, you are on the road. After I got home from Europe, I began to see how exceptional a time it had been. I am a veteran of hundreds of shows and festivals, both as a concert-goer and backstage, being on the road was a life-changing experience. Now I want to bring this experience to you. Together with Matt from High Tide we will remove the hassle and give you a worry free experience as you take flight across the cities of Europe in your pursuit for the ultimate rock and roll adventure .
Matt:
I’m the CEO of High Tide Entertainment Ltd., and for over 12 years I have been promoting some of the biggest names in music, comedy and other forms of entertainment in Victoria, Vancouver Island, all over BC and many other provinces across Canada. With over 500 concerts under my belt being the main guy in charge “at the show”, I will have lots of stories of the rock-n-roll life to share on our adventure, we will talk story. I am a seasoned traveler and use to own a hiking and kayaking ecotour company, Canadian Wilderness Ecotours, in Victoria, BC for a few years that catered to people from all over the world. I was in charge of taking tourists on full day and overnight trips and I have guided over a hundred tours, so I know how to travel with a crowd and make sure they are in good hands. I’m funny, fun, compassionate, kind and street smart, but I don’t read many books. My positive outlook on life and having a good time will make you feel like you’re traveling with family. Having a good time but being professional about is my strength. Albert, your other guide, is a good friend of mine and together we are a great team, we have amazing synergy and we work very well together. Let us show you one of the most amazing times of your life. Oh, and I forgot to say, I dance with my shirt off, so I hope you’re ok with that. Don’t worry, I won’t give you a sweaty hug unless you really want one.
