AALBORG, DENMARK
Having used the Cruise Insider services every year, in ever expanding capacities, since 2015, I can confidently say that he has fully met our expectations for creating and developing an educational program, customized to Aalborg needs and potential, that produces the best cruise guides of the Baltic region – a fact attested by 2017 season-end feedback from one of our frequent luxury line visitors, showing Aalborg guides with the highest average ratings of all Baltic destinations. We highly recommend him for destinations who want to develop their cruise potential.

FREDERICIA, DENMARK
We hired Jacob to head the training of our guides in Fredericia because we wanted to raise the overall standard of our guide team and become one of Denmark’s top providers of high quality guided tours. After our first season together, I can only say that we did the right thing. Through a customised programme, designed in partnership with us, Jacob has provided our guide team with the necessary skills to give our guests the best possible experiences while visiting our destination. Our guides have had a fantastic season and we are confident that we are on the right track.
