Our Founders - Ricardo and Karo
Ricardo is the driving force behind Hodsden Tours - he is often found driving clients as well as leading golf, surfing, kayaking and other slightly esoteric tours. He is our go to man for outdoor cooking and drinking wine. He claims to be ‘always available’ but we question this!
Karo is a former Miss Bulgaria winner who keeps our back office ticking. However, her true passions are cooking and an unrivalled love of all things related to nature and wellness. If you want to try a cooking course, wild swimming, tree bathing, yoga, pilates or anything else that is wholesome and natural Karo is probably your go to. The only warning is don’t mention Scotland or Findhorn as she may bang on for hours about it.

Lady Jane and 'AR'
Lady Jane is an enigma. Fun loving English Rose with a mysterious past which she may reveal to the right clients. There are rumours of time spend as a geisha and a high class madam in NYC although these have never been confirmed. Needless to say, you want to see the darker side of the City, Lady J is your go to.
AR needs no name and it’s probably too dangerous of our clients to know it. He fine tuned his travelling in the war zones of the world so if danger is your thing, AR is your man. Oddly, he is also a spectacular cook and a bon vivant (albeit you need to like New Zealand wines)!

Justin and Lottie
Justin is our gambling guru… and we mean guru. He will grind for hours over a blackjack table to ensure both he and his clients leave the casino up on the evening. A former marketing man he has hollow legs so don’t get into a Margarita challenge with him!
Lottie is our rock, she soothes the savage beast and will provide calm for all from the chaos of modern living. Clients who wish to chill, relax and escape from the 21st Century and all its challenges will enjoy some time with Lottie. Having said that, put a roulette table in front of her and all hell breaks loose… she is the queen of the outside bets (odd/even, red/black etc) and clients would do well to follow her bets, she rarely loses.

Jerry
This is Jerry… a nice guy but mostly useless. If you meet him it is almost certainly an admin error so apologies in advance.

Sydney
The most important member of the team who will happily go on dog walks with our clients and will incessantly lick anyone who feeds her.
