Fantastische ervaring: Karmen led us on the best tour we had during our two weeks in Croatia. She asked us ahead of time what we were interested in—history of Dubrovnik and Croatia, seeing places in town that were off the typical tourist path, avoiding crowds, no interest in Game of Thrones, and suggestions for places to eat. She proactively sent us a list of Dubrovnik restaurant recommendations and even reached out to friends in Zagreb to provide restaurant recommendations there as well. The day before our tour, I asked Karmen if we could move the start time up by an hour. She quickly responded that yes, she could start the tour an hour earlier. She met us at our Airbnb, which was much more convenient than trying to find each other among the crowds in the town center. The tour was exactly what we had asked for, focusing on the fascinating history of Dubrovnik and Croatia. On the tour, she even somehow managed to avoid the crowds and keep us in the shade—it was a hot day! Book a tour with Karmen; you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastische ervaring: We had a private tour with Andreas, a skilled storyteller who drew us into the history and culture of Palma de Mallorca. Our ride on a horse driven carriage took us back in time as he related stories of its people. We would highly recommend Andreas.

Fantastische ervaring: From the moment we had booked on the tour Lucia was in touch with her wattsapp number. This allowed us to bespoke the tour and include my wife who is 10 weeks post hip replacement operation. Lucia’s knowledge of short cuts around Lisbon and how to get the most out of our stay was superb and her general zest for life made for an enjoyable 3 hours. When we return we would definitely book on another tour ……. Probably involving food

Fantastische ervaring: Lucy took us on a beautiful and relaxing meander amongst nature, visiting some tranquil temples. She was extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator- we really enjoyed all history and culture she was able to impart. Thanks so much Lucy- you’re an outstanding guide!

Fantastische ervaring: I had the best time exploring the Marais with Alexis! She’s not only super knowledgeable about the history and culture of the neighborhood, but also makes everything feel fun and easy to follow. In just three hours, she showed me hidden corners, beautiful squares, and little details I never would’ve noticed on my own. What I loved most was how personal the tour felt — Alexis answered all my questions, tailored the walk to my interests, and shared great stories along the way. It honestly felt like wandering around Paris with a friend who happens to know everything about the area. If you’re looking for a tour that’s fun, engaging, and leaves you feeling more connected to the city, Alexis is the one the guide to book!

Fantastische ervaring: Had the best afternoon walking around with Artty. His knowledge of the area in next to none (it is his home town) and his ability to tell a story keeps you captivated. We went from district to district along with the perfect story on how everything came about throughout history and how it was all connected to modern day Bangkok. Artty was happy to discuss any off topic subjects and also offer his own opinions. Just needed to give him a shout and we'd stop for multiple photo opportunities, as well as him suggesting some great photo angles not to be missed. All round great experience thanks again Artty!

Fantastische ervaring: Berlin Tour with Martin: We had a great tour with Martin. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and thoughtful. He brought the city to life for us. We walked and took the train, and saw many neighborhoods. Martin tailored the tour to our requests.

Fantastische ervaring: Garen is an absolutely outstanding guide with a remarkable passion for the culture and food of Taiwan. The 3-hour street food tasting tour was so much more than just a meal; it was a deeply interesting and insightful experience. Her explanations and background information on each dish and the markets themselves made everything so much more engaging. She didn't just point out food; she taught us how to order and the proper ways to eat it, giving us a true local experience. When we had a chance to sit down, we were able to dive into a deeper discussion about Taiwan from many perspectives, which we really enjoyed. Garen was also incredibly thoughtful and prepared. The weather was very hot for us, and she not only came with extra napkins and toothpicks, but she even took the time to help us buy sun umbrellas, which have been a lifesaver. Her English is excellent, her passion is infectious, and her knowledge and ability to share it are simply outstanding. We highly recommend Garen for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Taipei.

Fantastische ervaring: Paolo was a terrific guide for both the golf cart tour (exploration of Rome) and the Guided Tour of the Colosseum. He began the golf cart tour by asking us what we wanted to see and learn. Paolo provided an excellent overview and history of what we were seeing. We asked a lot of questions which Paolo happily answered In both cases he made the best use of time based on the traffic and crowd size, enabling us to see and learn the most in our available time. For the Colosseum tour, Paolo took care of booking the tickets and entry time for us. He has a friendly personality and made the tours fun and educational. We highly recommend Paolo.

Fantastische ervaring: We enjoyed our time visiting Aspendos and Perge with Firat. Comfortable car, just the right amount of information and time for us to take in the experience of these two ancient sights. Firat is knowledgeable and adaptable and enjoyable company. We recommend him to give you have a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.

Fantastische ervaring: Ik had een geweldige middag met Lisa. Ze heeft me eten, drinken en plekjes laten zien, die je zelf niet gauw zou uitkiezen. En het was allemaal heerlijk. Lisa legde veel uit over het eten, waar het vandaan kwam en over de ingrediënten. Ik kon haar alles vragen. Ze nam uitgebreid de tijd voor me.

Fantastische ervaring: I had a very well rounded 6 1/2 hour private walking tour all over London. Kemal was wonderful. He tailored the entire trip to what he knew I was interested in seeing He imparted so much knowledge and history He showed me some off-the-beaten -track places that I would not have known about and with this knowledge of history and the city, I really learned a lot. We walked a lot and I really got my exercise in. It was exactly what I wanted to do since I was traveling alone. It was a great day He is a great tour guide.

Fantastische ervaring: Jhoan was a great guide, staying in touch from when we booked the tour to afterwards. He allows you flexibility to decide how you want to do the tour and where to visit. Having grown up in the Comuna he has a wealth of knowledge about it past, present and future, and communicates everything with enthusiasm. We were given a lot of information about the area that we didn't know and he never shies away from telling you the history, be it good or bad. Highly recommended

Fantastische ervaring: We only had one day to soak up as much of the city and all its history as we could. Thankfully, we booked in for a tailor-made private tour with Dionysis. His knowledge was endless and his discussions thoughtful. We never stumped him once with the many many questions we asked. What a guy.

Fantastische ervaring: This is the review you wrote: We had the great privelidge to start our citybreak in Belgrade with wonderful Brana. A lovely walking tour around the streets of Belgrad gave us a perfect start to really enjoy this beautiful city to the fullest. Brana is very experienced and with great knowledge. We loved meeting her and really epriciate all the recommendations she gave and what we learned during our tour. Big thank you from Christel & David / Sweden

Fantastische ervaring: Angel is an astonishing person. Fun to be with. She expresses in a very friendly but also very professional manner. She understands the needs of each individual and suggests places and routes accordingly. Absolutely satisfied with her knowledge about culture and architectural designs in the city. Strongly recommend.

Fantastische ervaring: Our tour of Old Town Dubrovnik with Karmen was truly exceptional! She is knowledgeable, engaging, and fun, weaving history and culture into every stop while also showing us hidden corners away from the crowds. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who just happens to be an expert. Her insights brought Dubrovnik to life, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for its history and culture. It’s easy to see why she has a perfect 5-star rating — she more than deserves it!

Fantastische ervaring: Oluf was wonderful. He met us right on time at our hotel and we started our scheduled six hour journey around Edinburgh. Over the next seven hours and one half hours, including lunch, we made our way around the city. We saw all the sites we wanted, and detoured whenever we requested to go off our route. Oluf was incredibly accommodating about making sure we had appropriate restroom breaks, and he found us a delightful place to eat lunch. He has a wonderful knowledge regarding the history of Scotland and Great Britain, and shared it with us appropriately. Oluf is quite personable, and he shared with us some cute non historical stories along our way. I would highly recommend a walking tool with Oluf.

Fantastische ervaring: We came into Porto on an Oceania cruise ship. We arrived at 9am so, we could not take full advantage of the 8 hour private tour. Gustavo picked us up at 930am in his pristinely clean Mercedes station wagon. We needed to be back on board by 530pm but needed to be a bit conservative since it wasn’t a ship sponsored tour. We arrived back at 440pm. Once picked up, we headed straight to the Douro Valley. Gustavo knew all the best vista points and brought us to them. We had a wonderful lunch and wine at Sandman, one of the finest port producers in Portugal. We had to skip the boat ride on the Douro River so that we could do most everything else. After lunch, we told Gustavo that we would rather tour around, looking for the best Vistas versus going to the wine tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed our choice. The excursion was fabulous and we’re thrilled that we got to witness the Douro Valley & Douro Valley. It was a high quality tour put on by a native of the area. The only reason I can’t give it a 10 for value is that we had to pay for some things we didn’t do. This said, we knew about all of this in advance of the tour.

Fantastische ervaring: Andy was incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. A true gentleman, he shared so much fascinating historical information throughout the tour. His intelligence and insight really enhanced the whole experience, and we learned so much thanks to him. The tour was well worth it highly recommended!

Fantastische ervaring: We had a fantastic experience with our local guide in Alicante! Not only did we get to see the city’s main highlights, but we also discovered hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. The guide shared fascinating details and curiosities that made the visit even more engaging and memorable. The tasting of traditional turrón was the perfect touch, adding a truly authentic flavor to the experience. Everything was well-paced, and we really appreciated the care and attention given to the group, as well as the excellent time and location management throughout the tour. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Alicante in a genuine, insightful, and enjoyable way!

Fantastische ervaring: We decided to book this food tour at the start of our trip and it was the best decision we made. Siidoz and his colleague gave us a great introduction to the local food and culture as well as answering all our questions along the way. We struggled with the amount of food but every single dish that we tried was delicious. A heartfelt thank you!

Fantastische ervaring: We had a great walking tour around Malacca with Joseph seeing the historical sites. His explanations were clear and the itinerary well planned with strategic spots to sample the local chendol, chicken rice etc.

Fantastische ervaring: Joseph was the most incredible guide!! He looked after us from the moment we arrived finding a restaurant (as we were late and hungry!). He then shared each location with incredible insight and passion. He flexed the tour to deal with my elderly parents ensuring it was enjoyable. The piece de resistance was that he found us after the tour looking lost and found us yet another amazing place to eat. Nothing was too much trouble not least that our walking pace meant he spent over 4 hours with us. A truly kind man. Thanks so much! In case you’re still traveling you can u

Negatieve ervaring: Good Tours but bad customer serviece. Our guide didnt show up and there was no one we could contact. Neither the chat for customer serviece in the app nor the chat on the website worked. We tried it with two different cellphones. We couldnt even find an information in the help center about what to do when the guide doesnt show up.

Fantastische ervaring: I cannot recommend The History of Dubrovnik tour with Marko highly enough. This experience was far more than a typical sightseeing – it was a deeply moving and intellectually enriching journey into the heart of a city that has endured, resisted, and ultimately thrived. Our guide Marko was exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply respectful of the complex history of his city and his country that he was sharing. Marko didn’t just recite facts—he told stories often involving his personal feelings and emotions. Stories of resilience, of identity, of a people caught in the crosswinds of a fractured nation. Walking through Dubrovnik’s ancient streets while learning about its role during the Yugoslav Wars gave us a whole new appreciation for the city’s beauty and strength and made the experience all the more meaningful. We learned a lot about the ancient and newest history of the city and would certainly come back for more!

Fantastische ervaring: Spending the day with Yarkin was like meeting up with an old friend who was showing his city of Izmir to me with pride! I highly recommend this tour. And don't let his modesty fool you. He is very good at telling you what is to come! His English is excellent, also.

Fantastische ervaring: I had a one and half hour tour in Copenhagen with Fabrine which stretched out a little longer. Fabrine was knowledgable, very professional and was happy to accommodate special requests. We went to places I may have just walked past by myself. Had a great time. Like th Wed others … highly recommended

Fantastische ervaring: Angelina and I were extremely lucky to have chosen Eamon for this tour of Dublin dedicated to its history, particularly the stories about0 the Irish giants in literature, drama and poetry. He is very passionate in describing them and explaining the gems of the Irish capital. We wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide for tours in Dublin and beyond.

Fantastische ervaring: Jan did an incredible job. He tailored the tour to our interests, the country we are from, and included both history, which is our teenager's passion, and cuisine in the presentation. As we vandered around the city, he surprised us vith some toys from his collection. All together felt like a walk with a friend. We highly recommend him!

Fantastische ervaring: This was by far one of the best ways to experience the real Penang and George Town. Lisa’s culture, food and historical knowledge was so insightful. She was charming, friendly and the best host!! We tasted food and dined where as clueless tourists we wouldn’t have thought of or been confident to. I feel as though Lisa become a friend by the end of the tour. Well worth the investment.

Fantastische ervaring: Sapporo food tour. Alfred was an excellent guide and host. Knowledgeable, interesting and very friendly. It was a pleasure spending time with him and visiting the various locations he introduced us to. Well done!

Fantastische ervaring: We had such a great time with Lulu ❤️she is very kind, funny and knowledgeable. We experienced a great mixture of history and daily life. We will gladly recommend Lulu to everyone travelling to Johannesburg!

Fantastische ervaring: Aleksander was amazing! My great grandparents immigrated from Poland, and he took us to the villages that they immigrated from. While driving there, he told us a lot of facts and pointed out important landmarks in Poland. You could really tell that he knew a lot about the history of Poland and that he was super proud of his country. Aleksander went out if his way to accommodate us on this heritage journey. I highly recommend booking him for your next adventure. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastische ervaring: We had such a wonderful tour with Hara. Hara gave us a wide and varied experience, allowing us to savor all of our senses as she hand chose wonderful stops for delicious food and treats. I loved feeling the rhythm of the city, and learning about history and culture of Thessanoliki. Hara creates a fun and relaxing atmosphere, and she even gave us recommendations for restaurants for later in the day. An absolutely must-do tour. Highly recommended.

Fantastische ervaring: Francesco combined a wealth of knowledge with fun “extras” like music to make the context come alive. Our tour was on a very hot day, and his attention to shade and water stops was very much appreciated.

Fantastische ervaring: My husband and I had the best time on this tour! Ana was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and showed us some spots we definitely would not have found on our own. While it was very hot and the timing of our tour was not ideal, as we were visiting in August and a lot of places were closed for the summer vacation, Ana filled the time seamlessly and gave us plenty of different options, keeping us in the shade whenever possible and getting us cold and refreshing drinks to fend off the heat. We learned a ton about the city, ate some of the most delicious and authentic food either of us had ever tasted, drank delicious wines, and finished off the tour with refreshing gelato. Ultimately, we don’t feel as though we missed out on anything due to closures and the heat was well worth it for the experience Ana delivered! Highly recommend!

Fantastische ervaring: Remy was a fantastic guide - we all (family of four with two teenage boys) really enjoyed the tour. Very tasty food and a very knowledgeable local guide. Remy also tailored the tour to account for a food allergy amongst us. Would be happy to recommend to others.

Fantastische ervaring: First time in Zurich, we wanted to learn about the city and culture. Our tour guide Giada was awesome! She took us to the best sites and food places. We stopped for tastes of traditional sausage, cheese and chocolates. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Giada when visiting Zurich.

Fantastische ervaring: Cristobal was knowledgeable of the local food and area. He made our trip to Santiago so much better! Don’t think twice. Book it today!

Fantastische ervaring: Julio was great with our three kids! Very knowledgeable, fun, kind, and patient!

Fantastische ervaring: We booked Kemal when we were home in New Zealand, having reviewed other reviews about Kemal and having checked out his photography online and in instagram. This man is so modest about his accomplishments- everything online is understated. He has a great ability to engage with locals in Turkey in such a warm and genuine manner- people seem to do anything for him, allow him places and are happy for him/us to photograph them, showing their story and humanity. He has travelled to and knows so many countries- it’s not for nothing he was a staff photographer ( and executive editor) for National Geographic for many years. I don’t think we could ask him anything about Istanbul and the surrounding area ( we did two of his tours) which he didn’t know. He organised a car, and made recommendations for meals/ drinks (which were spot on- and we had as part of the tours). Not only that, he is very flexible to fit in with exactly what you want- just guiding, or going to places specifically for photographic opportunities. He met us at our hotel- really takes away any hassle- and you really do get to see a lot more than if left to your own devices. He also has a “voice map” guided out of the Galata area of Istanbul- we didn’t know about that- suggest checking it out. We weren’t sure if Kemal was the same person as “Kemal Nuraydin” in instagram- he is. He is the same Kemal in “Terra Photos tours” ( website and instagram) as well. Also, to remove any potential confusion, he actually lives in London, doing the same work there, but has friends and family in Istanbul, so is always happy to fly over to do your guiding or tour. Sounds like we are advertising him, which we are- only because we think he is so good at what he does. Thanks Kemal! Colin Brown and Ruth Bijl , Auckland, New Zealand

Fantastische ervaring: We could not find a better guide than Simone. Smart, energetic, well informed, good sense of humor. I would also consider Simone for general touring not only for a food tour. We have done many and Simone is at the top of the list! Book him now, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastische ervaring: We had an amazing experience with Capitan Scott! We had our family of 5 on the trip. The boat was beautiful, luxurious and very comfortable. His introduction of Amsterdam to us was on point, we had such a fun time with him. We also had an amazing dinner from Red that was delivered to the boat. We would highly recommend this trip!!

Fantastische ervaring: Vines was a wonderful host and guide. She had to be creative because many spots were closed on Sunday, but we enjoyed every stop. (We are still talking about that tomato in the market, and the black risotto was delicious) Along the way she taught us a lot about Croatia and Zadar in particular. Her special figs were a treat and all the gifts we brought back have been quite a hit. Would recommend very highly

Fantastische ervaring: Super Sache, sehr empfehlenswert

Fantastische ervaring: I’m glad we invested a bit more in a great tour guide. He looked after us with everything, making the tour super easy with the kids. Hieu’s English was great and his knowledge of My Son and its culture was amazing. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. We’ve been in Hoi An for a few weeks so we had loads of questions about Vietnam and what it’s like to live here. We went with the afternoon tour. It was hot but not many people around. Towards the end of the tour it was cooler and no one else around. The dance show was cool to see with the kids. The tour wasn’t rushed and he took the time to explain everything to us. We would highly recommend Hieu!

Fantastische ervaring: We booked a private tour with Gilbert based on previous reviews and we weren’t disappointed. Gilbert personalised the tour based on our requests, but still managed to pack in an enormous amount of history and current affairs as we walked around the city from eatery to eatery. He kept a group of adults, young adults and teenagers enthralled for four hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - make sure you’re hungry before you go as the food is plentiful!

Fantastische ervaring: Ogüz was a remarkable guide. His ability to engage us all (there were 7 of us as a family group on a private tour) for the duration of his tour through his wonderful sense of humour and his skill in story telling, made our Istanbul experience one we will never forget. His knowledge of, and passion for, his city left us richer and more informed than when we started. We walked. We listened. We heard. An experience we would urge others to grab with both hands. Thank you Ogüz

Fantastische ervaring: My niece Ila and I were visiting Berlin. We both like photography, but wanted to get some expert advice about photographing Berlin. Ila found Fabian's offer on "With Locals," and right from the get-go he was helpful and knowledgeable. I contacted him to explain what we were looking for, and he asked all the right questions and showed a real desire to make sure our time with him met our expectations. Well, our expectations were met and then some! Fabian is a friendly and forthcoming fellow who showed a real interest in us and what we were trying to learn. I was especially impressed with how kind he was and with how thoughtful he was with regard to Ila and what she was hoping to achieve. He gave excellent compositional and technical advice, and he extremely patient and keen on helping us take our skills to the next level. We were amazed with how much learnt in a short period of time, and for the rest of the trip, when taking pictures, we found ourselves asking "how would Fabian approach this shot?" Ila and I both recommend Fabian wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Fantastische ervaring: Clara was an incredible tour guide. Exceptionally knowledgeable about the food, history, and took us to the absolute best local establishments. The pace, diversity, pairings were all perfection. Cannot recommend Clara and her Sevilla food tour enough.

Fantastische ervaring: Thete is good. There is great. There is excellent. And way beyond tgat, there is Maria Rosaria! If you want a lively, fun, fact-filled , and delicious tour, you will be delighted with Maria Rosaria! Shes vrilliant, fun, and 100% Neopalitan! She’s been a true highlight of an incredibly good trip. Book her! You’ll be stoked!

Fantastische ervaring: We really enjoyed our two day Amsterdam tour with Kawika. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful and sensitive to our wants and needs. He managed to reconfigure our tour due to airline delays and still made our stay in Amsterdam most enjoyable and interesting. His artistic insight and general artistic knowledge are exceptional and really added to the artistic aspect, and he listened carefully to us and curated a bespoke tour suited exactly to what we wanted and could manage. In addition to all that, he is a very nice person who is passionte about Amsterdam and his work. We highly recommend him, he is delightful. Mike and Abigail (65 year old couple)

Fantastische ervaring: Helena asked in advance what we would like to gain from our time with her, and she designed a tour that was perfect for us! While walking through the old city streets, through tiny alleys and wide plazas, Helena pointed out so many details and hidden wonders that we would never have known about. Her enthusiasm and love for the city was contagious - we look forward to visiting Amsterdam again and learning more! Thank you Helena!

Fantastische ervaring: Sena was a great guide, showing us some highlights in Tokyo. My three teenage kids that hate tours all agreed that this was a good way to get an overview of the city and they wouldn't have gotten as much out of going it alone. Thank you, Sena, for a lovely afternoon!

Fantastische ervaring: Eric was a fantastic guide. At first we weren’t sure if the tour would be worth it, but we were so pleased we went ahead. There is no way we could have discovered the places Eric took us to on our own, let alone understand the significance of each. Eric was incredibly flexible and accommodating and my group of 4 would absolutely recommend him as a guide. We even got to witness Haenyeo, women divers, an absolute bonus and tick off the bucket list for us all!

Fantastische ervaring: I had such a fun day exploring Negombo with Deegoda in his tuktuk. Despite it being the end of my trip, where I had already tried a lot of things he managed to find some new foods for me. He is very engaging, a super guide, chatty and very informative. Seeing the back alleys of the more rural areas was fascinating and a very enjoyable end to my time in Sri Lanka.

Fantastische ervaring: Elisabetta was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed meeting her and going on the tour with her.

Fantastische ervaring: Roberto is incredibly knowledgeable and charming and knows everyone in Napoli! I booked a tour for my birthday and he did not disappoint! Wonderful food and all of it local non tourist spots. Highly recommend!

Fantastische ervaring: Sebastian was a great guide! While on tour, we felt as though we were taking a walk with an old friend (and a very knowledgable one). He told us about the history of the city as well as the lives of Amsterdam's citizens now. He adapted his way of explaining stuff to our mixed level of English (used simpler terms — so don't worry about not understanding something) and he showed us the best local places (the snack was amazing!). We also really appreciated little fun facts about various subjects connected to the city and his tips on best gifts from Amsterdam. We feel fully prepared for getting around on our own in the next days of our trip and for understanding stuff in museums and places all around town better. Sebastian is a great choice no matter the group — we went as mother and daughter (50 and 19) and both had a wonderful time. Amazing experience, we highly recommend!

Fantastische ervaring: Lusi is hands down the best tour guide you could ask for! We did our tour with her on the very first day we arrived in Barcelona, and it was the perfect way to kick off the trip. She curated the experience beautifully, giving us a solid introduction to the history of Spain and Barcelona, along with insider tips on where locals eat, drink, and hang out. Thanks to Lusi, we felt oriented and confident exploring the city—without her, we would’ve been a bit lost. She shared insights and stories that didn’t come up in any of the more traditional tours we took, and we’ve honestly been raving about the experience ever since. Her energy is infectious, her knowledge is impressive, and her recommendations were spot-on. We can’t recommend Lusi enough. If you can, try to book this tour for your first day—it makes navigating and appreciating the city so much easier for the rest of your stay!

Fantastische ervaring: Our tour of Taormina with Maria Grazia was a highlight of our trip. Maria is very knowledgeable and generously shared tips and information about our special interests. It was a pleasure to be guided by Maria to locations in Taormina that we would not have found on our own. I highly recommend this experience and have already recommended this to friends who are visiting later in the year. Thank you!

Fantastische ervaring: From the moment we met Joanna, the evening was amazing. The locations along with the food and drink selected were perfect. She is clearly passionate about Cádiz and this came through strongly. She was incredibly informative and we cannot recommend her enough! Do one of her tours - you won’t regret it!

Fantastische ervaring: We spent a wonderful three hours with Carlos who showed us so many of the beautiful sights of Porto. Carlos shares his love and knowledge of Porto in a charming and relaxed way as you walk the old city and gain an appreciation for this amazing place. At the end of the tour, Carlos is kind enough to share some of his favorite places for the best Porto has to offer. Our three hours together went by quickly and pleasurably. We would highly recommend Carlos and hope to come back and enjoy a street art tour with him. Thank you, Carlos, you gifted us a perfect day!

Fantastische ervaring: Marcos was even better than expected with the five stars review. He is very knowledgeable and made the link to the various cultures that has influenced the history of Valencia. He reacted to our questions and tweaked his tour accordingly. We are very pleased with the suggestions he made to us varying from sites to visit to food and drinks.

Fantastische ervaring: We are so happy we came across Isa's profile when searching for a guide. As per her profile description, she is well educated in all things DaVinci. It was interesting getting her interpretation of parts of the city impacted by him. We would have loved to spend an entire day with her.

Fantastische ervaring: Chris was a good host! Vibrant and full of energy. He was knowledge about the areas we toured and able to answer all the questions we had. I highly recommend taking a tour with him.

Fantastische ervaring: We had a great time exploring Chueca and Justicia with Mateo. He showed us the neighborhood and gave us a lot of interesting information about the history, architecture and daily life of the places. We went into interesting shops (chocolate! magic!), looked into hidden courtyards and had great conversations about life, music and the people of this part of the city. We know Madrid quite well, as we visit the city every year, but Mateo showed us a lot of things we did not know so far - 100% recommendable!

Fantastische ervaring: MaríaJosé y Alberto were such gracious hosts! They did not give up on us despite the communication within the app not working. They took us to some of their favorite spots. We saw many highlights of Tican history and culture (including some of MariaJosé’s incredible murals) and learned more than one could read in a book. We would never have been able to experience the depth and breadth of San José without their expertise and entusiasmó. Muchicimas gracias por todo. ¡Pura Vida!

Fantastische ervaring: My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of touring with Rolando on our last day in Oaxaca after spending a week in Puerto Escondido. Without being superlative, Rolando's incredible knowledge of the city of Oaxaca, Mesoamerican history and culture, and architecture, made our time with him not only the best part of our trip, but an experience we will remember forever. Rolando's personality, masterful English, and attention to detail make his city tour an absolute must for anyone planning on visiting this profoundly important place in Mexico. We look forward to visiting this incredible city again - and can guarantee we will be planning our trip around his availability! Muchos, muchos gracias!!

Fantastische ervaring: We booked our private guide Dario for Naples with withlocals and I definitely recommend it. The booking is super easy, we made fast contact with our guide and made an appointment with him. Dario is a fantastic guide. Not only did we learn a lot about Naples and the history of this place but also Dario was very kind and took care of us extremley well, paying attention to the traffic in Naples which is alittle bit chaotic sometimes. We felt safe with him and apprecited his company a lot. If we go back to Naples, we will definitely want Dario to be our guide again.

Fantastische ervaring: Our group of 5 had a wonderful patisserie tour of Paris. Anukool is very knowledgeable and was able to provide an excellent tour of some very unique patisseries in Paris. I would highly recommend him. He was very communicative prior to meeting up with us. He was also very accommodating as we had to add an additional person on at the last minute. He helped with restaurant recommendations too! Thanks so much Anukool for making our Paris trip even better! Please sign up for this tour and you will NOT regret it!

Fantastische ervaring: Ae was a wonderful guide and I am so glad we booked her tour. We were able to see so much more of Chaing Mai by bike and part of the magic were the side streets and different neighborhoods of the city. Our tour had sprinkles of food tour, history, and Thai way of life sprinkled in - great for our family, 2 adults and 2 children ages 11 and 13.

Fantastische ervaring: I took the tour with Boyd with my three teenagers and we all had so much fun!! Boyd is super nice and makes history fun. He know a lot!! It was excellent. I think it would be better if the tour lasted 4 hours instead of 3 so that it would be more complete and we wouldn't rush at the end.

Fantastische ervaring: Porto Local, Antonio, walked me around Porto and introduced me some delightful local dishes, customs and he offered some excellent suggestions on what to explore after my WithLocals experience. Thanks for today!

Fantastische ervaring: I am in Sorrento on holiday with my daughter. We did the 10 tastes of Sorrento tour with Giovanni. We enjoyed every bit of the tour. Giovanni provided information on the sites of Sorrento and took us to taste the foods. All were excellent! Book your tour with Giovanni- he personalizes the tour for you. Highly recommended!

Fantastische ervaring: Julián was the most incredible tour guide of Madrid during my stay! He was kind, easy to talk to, and an expert on the history of the city. I learned so much more than I ever thought possible. As we talked and got to know each other, he customized my tour to highlight points of personal interest. We even jumped into a historic building tour after perusing Barrio de las Letras. Unbeknownst to me, he walked me through the city and led me all the way back to my hotel before parting ways. I happily recommend Julián as a tour guide and would book him again in an instant! You are lucky if you get to take a tour with him!

Fantastische ervaring: Alice was a fantastic guide and an amazing storyteller. She kept our entire family (kids ages 8, 13, and 15) engaged the entire time. One of the best tours in Edinburgh.

Fantastische ervaring: Guia is an outstanding tour guide, the epitome of customer satisfaction and going out of her way for us—pleasant, joyful, and a true professional. She is fun to talk to. Her excellent english communication skills and deep knowledge of Kyoto made every moment of the tour informative and enjoyable. What truly set her apart is her dedication to her customers; she goes above and beyond to ensure her clients have the best possible experience. I asked her, a few weeks before we left for Japan, if she knows of a Ryokan with western style beds, near our tour area that was full service including meals; she, on her own, inspected several and emailed her favorite to us, with the estimated price and the website link. I made the reservation and the stay the the Ryokan she selected for us (no charge by her) was one of the vacation highlights for us - is was perfect. With Guia, you’re not just taking a tour—you’re gaining a memorable, enriching journey led by someone who genuinely cares.

Fantastische ervaring: Imagine you're in a country for the first time, and Prague is amazing—of course, it's a famous tourist destination. Many of the places you visit are naturally very touristy, and you're completely fine with being treated as a tourist. But suddenly, you find yourself on a different kind of tour (and you already expect great things because the reviews are fantastic), where you're treated with such genuine interest as a person. Hana and her husband picked us up from the hotel, and honestly, I don’t even remember how long the drive to Kutná Hora was because we spent it talking about each other—our lives, kids, pets, and even the cartoons we grew up watching (being the same age group helped!). Not to mention, the tour itself was fascinating, and Hana provided in-depth historical information. But what still makes me smile, even three weeks later, are the memories of Hana and her husband’s warmth, hospitality, and great sense of humor. It still feels like time spent with dear friends.

Fantastische ervaring: Marcos hat uns mit seinem profunden Wissen einen tollen Eindruck der Stadt vermittelt. Er ist mit viel Empathie auf unsere Fragen eingegangen. Die Zeit ist super schnell verflogen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Fantastische ervaring: This is the review you wrote: Razvan was an excellent host. He is extremely knowledgeable on Bucharest and Romania. He explained very well the complex history and expanded his explanations with many old illustrations. He was quite happy to change the itinerary to suit my interests and was not at all locked into a learned script. We had some interesting discussions Razvan was punctual. His vehicle was clean and clearly in good condition. English was perfect / native. Overall, I really enjoyed my two days with Razvan.

Fantastische ervaring: Stella is an excellent tour guide and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She was extremely knowledgeable, able to impart both historical and modern information about Siena with clarity and insight. She was also charming, warm and engaging. We had a thoroughly delightful time on an evening tour of the city, and greatly enjoyed her insights and perspectives, especially regarding the contrade and their rivalries.

Fantastische ervaring: Our private boat tour with Emanuele through WithLocal was an absolute highlight of our trip to Venice. Traveling with a group that spanned from a toddler to a senior, we were impressed with how smooth and enjoyable the experience was for everyone. The boat was comfortable and the pickup right near our apartment made things so convenient. Emanuele was a fantastic guide, sharing fascinating insights about Venice as we cruised the Grand Canal in the morning. We visited a charming, family-run glass factory in Murano where we received a warm welcome and an in-depth tour. The day ended with a colorful and authentic walk through Burano, away from the crowds. To top it off, Emanuele kindly dropped us off at a different location upon request and even offered great local tips on where to walk and eat. Thoughtful, seamless, and enriching — this tour is a must!

Fantastische ervaring: Really enjoyed the morning tour with Kadir! Gave us many insights into life in Istanbul - and of course the history. He was very helpful and thoughtful. Thanks Kadir!

Fantastische ervaring: We booked 2 tours with Mona. The 10 tastings of Warsaw & The Kickstart Tour of Warsaw on two separate days. We were 4 senior friends (2 couples) travelling together. Mona is a great historian and a foodie and she tailored our tour to our needs. Mona was friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and went at our pace. We were very comfortable with Mona and had an engaging tour with her. Mona answered all our questions as well as shared valuable information with us. During our food tour, Mona introduced us to local Polish cuisine and included information about the food, restaurant and its history as well as the history of the area we were in. During our kickstart tour Mona shared valuable information about the history of Warsaw/ Poland and she shared photos of pre war era of specific areas and buildings on her tablet. Unfortunately, the weather turned miserable with rain and heavy cold wind blowing during our tour. Mona escorted us into a building where we were warm and dry and she was able to continue her talk about the history of Warsaw. Mona surpassed all our expectations and we were very happy with our tours on both days. We definitely recommend Mona for tours in Warsaw. In case you’re still traveling you can us the link below to find more local experiences in Warsaw. Thank you and we hope to see you again on another Withlocals experience!

Fantastische ervaring: We had a really wonderful 2 hours with Alice at Edinburgh Castle. Her knowledge of the castle and local history was brought to life by her incredible talent for telling stories. It was the highlight of our stay in Edinburgh.

Fantastische ervaring: We did the Beyoğlu 10 tastes experience and Dilek was fabulous. A warm welcome, great knowledge and she openly shared her food and country culture to bring us a very tasty and interesting food experience! My husband and I felt like we had spent the morning with a dear friend by the end of it. Thank you Dilek

Fantastische ervaring: Due to the fact that I made the reservation at the last minute, I took the tour with Michael and not with Orlina. Thank you Orlina to find Michael! Everything was perfect: the walking tour, the stories about Dubai, about history, about social life and old and new town. A very good guide with care about what we want to see and understand. We recommend Michael!

Fantastische ervaring: We booked a few hours’ tour with Gil in Basel, and it was a wonderful experience. Gil was attentive to our special interests and designed a rout perfectly accommodating those. He showed impressive knowledge in history and culture, and also gave us insights about the ordinary life in the city, special festivals and habits. And the culinary side was not neglected as well. In short – highly recommended!

Fantastische ervaring: I have visited Chiang Mai on several occasions but have never had a more fulfilling day than when I spent time with Ratana. She has lived in Chiang Mai all her life and it shows. Her smile is as infectious as her personality! My request to her was a day of immersion into the local community and culture, away from the typical “tourist” atmosphere, and she delivered! I was able to get a feel for the logistical aspects of the overall city and visit some smaller Wats and villages as well. I was able to see the local markets and how the locals traded, she explained the proper etiquette when shopping and was able to communicate with the vendors to help me understand the different foods and their applications. If you’re looking for a wonderful way to spend a day and get to know Chiang Mai do not hesitate to reserve Ratana.

Fantastische ervaring: We had a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting tour with Gábor He has an amazing knowledge of Budapest and Hungary. For us he focused on History and Architecture and threw in many other facts and observations. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Fantastische ervaring: Max was AMAZING!!!!!!! He had so much knowledge about the history of Rome, and wove that knowledge into memorable stories. We were mesmerized! I have been on a lot of tours with locals, this was by far my favorite. We learned a lot, laughed a lot and came away with a deeper appreciation for Rome and found some hidden secrets all thanks to Max! Grazie Mille

Fantastische ervaring: Carlos was an amazing guide. He was flexible on start time and honored our request to begin with a bit of a coffee break during which he gave us a fascinating lecture on the history of Lisbon. He knows this city backwards and forwards and has a wonderful manner of delivering his knowledge in a understandable way. Doesn’t get any better than this.

Fantastische ervaring: We loved our food tour with Anne. She is very personable and speaks perfect English. She took us to numerous places we never would have discovered on our own. We tasted much more than 10 things. Everything was delicious and came with both stories of the foods as well as a lovely introduction to the wonders and secrets of Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour with Anne.

Fantastische ervaring: Jason is a one-of-a-kind private tour guide. I was on the lookout for a tour guide with three key qualities: great communication skills, a charming personality, and a wealth of knowledge. He was super responsive to my messages. He really listened to what I wanted to see or do in Seoul. He even made sure his tour itinerary was all about what I wanted to get out of it. With his perfect itinerary, he showed not only professionalism but also a friendly vibe during the tour. He was super easy to talk to, making me feel like I was hanging out with a long-time friend instead of being on a tour. Of course, he still kept his expertise as a tour guide. He’s got a youthful vibe, but he’s a tour guide extraordinaire! When I asked him a question, he would give me a super clear and concise answer. In other words, he’s a master of his craft! Wow, this was an amazing experience! I’ve never had a private tour guide in Seoul before, and he exceeded all my expectations. I’m so glad I had him as my guide. I’ll definitely have him again when I come back to Korea, whether it’s in Seoul or anywhere else in the country. I highly recommend him!

Fantastische ervaring: Our street food tour with Buddhima was wonderful. Buddhima is so lovely, generous and knowledgeable, it was like spending the evening with a good friend, who took great care of us. Buddhima introduced us to lots of different foods, answered all our many questions, and shared so much about life in Sri Lanka. She also gave us some great tips for the rest of our trip. If we return to Kandy we would definitely do the tour again - there is always more food to discover - and we would recommend Buddhima as a guide without hesitation.

Fantastische ervaring: This is the review you wrote: Lulu was one of the best guides we ever had in all our trips around the world.

Lulu brought us in the most insider spots of Maboneng and she told us a lot of interesting things of her culture. If you wish to make a real local trip to the hidden spots of Johannesburg, join Lulu!!!! She is great!!!!
