Ethical approach to cultures and people
At Museion, we work exclusively with local guides to ensure that you have an authentic and enriching experience. Our expert guides are paid fair wages for their work.
​
We believe in responsible tourism and strive to minimize our impact on the environment. Our small group sizes not only allow for a more personalized and engaging experience with our expert guides, but also reduce the need for plastic headsets, thereby reducing unnecessary plastic waste.
​
We keep our tour groups small to minimize the negative impact on the local community. With fewer people, we reduce the strain on locals who may be overwhelmed by the constant flow of tourists passing through museums every day.
​
Maintaining positive relationships with museum staff is essential for long-term sustainable tourism, and it also provides you with a more engaging experience.
