This half-day tour of Copenhagen with Mia was a real highlight. Instead of feeling like a formal guided experience, it was more like spending time with a friend who just happens to know all the best stories and hidden corners. Relaxed, engaging, and never overloaded. Recommended! :-)

Two old broads experienced the Magical City of Istanbul with Kadir, a true gem! He shared his knowledge and love for his city making the amazing sites come alive for us. Above all he was kind, funny and provided many helpful suggestions for the rest of our visit.

We booked a guided tour of Rabat with IIyas on Friday 24th April 2026 following a number of detailed messages regarding content and location. However, on the day, Ilyas didn't turn up. Later, after sending him several messages asking for an explanation he replied- 'I got my Withlocals account suspended I couldn’t get to my messages to check the date and the address I remembered 25 so I planned for tomorrow'!!

We had a private tour of Real Alcazar, all three palaces and the gardens, with Alba. This included my mom (79), daughter (19), and me. Alba made the tour interesting and engaging for all of us and she was attentive to my mom. What impressed me about Alba - her vast fund of knowledge about almost any country between 1000 and 1700 and her laughter. She included stories and anecdotes that made the experience engaging and full. She also described the decorative features in detail (for example, the creation of the tilework). I would take a tour with Alba any day and anywhere in Seville!

very friendly, well prepared, great knowledge

My son and I had a wonderful time touring Seoul with Rossi. We ventured through several neighborhoods and stopped for a delicious lunch. Rossi was responsive to our questions, and allowed us to stray from the agenda when we saw something interesting. He even answered more of my questions via text after our tour was complete.

We loved our tour with Zenid. He had so much knowledge about the city and old town, we saw places we would have never seen without him. He was a pleasure to be with and very entertaining. I would highly recommend his walking tour.

Our group of 6 toured the Coyoacan neighborhood in Mexico City with Victor last Saturday. It was our first time in Mexico City and his suggestion to see this very cool and historic neighborhood. We loved the tour and thought he was awesome. I've been on many private tours that were loaded -- no overloaded -- with facts and historical data and info. But real storytelling and real insight into culture and vibe and what makes a place special and unique often goes missing. That's not the case with Victor. He was so real and relatable and gave us wonderful insight into what it was like to grow up and live in Mexico City and as an artist himself, what this unique part of the city really means to him and to others. Victor is a lovely human and was so much fun to be with. We really enjoyed him and were so happy with the tour.

Miha Lavrenčič was an excellent tour guide on WW2 history of Berlin. He interacted with us on the day and changed the route so we could hop on the U-bahn or S-bahn with him and visit places that we hadn’t mentioned in advance. He also recommended an excellent restaurant for a special birthday that was great fun with an excellent atmosphere with delicious food and drink even though it was really busy. I would definitely recommend him.

Araya is epic! During our eight hour private tour adventure around Bangkok, I cannot say all the things that we learned about the temples and the history of the temples and of Buddha and Buddhism itself. Her personality is divine caring, thoughtful, and a pleasure to be around. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone that is even thinking about booking with her, do it!! You’re wasting your time without the history and knowledge from Araya and what everything means and does.

Thank you so much to Laura from With Locals Casablanca. We missed our 10 tastings tour due to a mis communication and mis understanding with our guide, Ilyas.Laura continued to communicate with me afterwards and promptly gave us a refund when we couldnt find another date for the tour. i really appreciated her understanding and help. A tour another time.

Edna was simply excellent. As requested, we had a slow stroll through the old part of the city, viewing the key sites. She was informative without being excessive. On the plus was the recommended coffee place, serving one of the best coffees in the city, not to mention the free madeleine. We really enjoyed her guidance. Edna is highly recommended.

Alex was a well prepared and friendly guide who explains the history of the Acropolis like a storyteller unraveling a mystery. He is very engaging and our group of 4 adults enjoyed learning and interacting with him. I would highly recommend him!

Wir haben mit Emre eine kulinarische Führung mit typischen, türkischen Spezialitäten im Bezirk Beyoglu unternommen. Trotz gewisser Einschränkungen unsererseits (Vegetarisch und Histaminintolleranz) sind wir voll auf unsere Kosten gekommen. Emre war ein sehr charmanter und hilfsbereiten Begleiter, der uns auch Geschichten über Beyoglu erzählt hat und und zusätzliche Essens- und Einkaufstips gegeben hat. Wir können Emre wärmstens empfehlen.

We had an incredible all day tour of Osaka with Naoki. He was our guide in Kyoto so we knew what to expect… the feeling of walking around with a very knowledgeable local friend. Naoki shared fascinating stories that made history come alive, recommended local dishes that we would not have tried on our own, and worked with our schedule to ensure that we got to see all the sites we listed. If you're visiting Osaka, do yourself a favor and book HIS tour early!

Esra was great. Just wanted to show us Istanbul from a locals point of view. Listened to what we wanted to see and avoided areas we did not want or had made other arrangements to see. Very passionate, no rush finished later than anticipated due to us wanting to see more. Esra, as discussed when you are in London later this year let me know and I will show you things to see that are not in the tourist guide books! Thank you Tony & Cathy

Marko is effectively a walking, talking, highly entertaining knowledge engine with a sense of humour and zero fluff. Marko doesn’t just know things. He connects them. History, politics, culture, daily life, Dubrovnik as a community... And yes, Game of Thrones. Of course. How could it be otherwise. It's all woven into one coherent story that actually makes Dubrovnik make sense. What stood out: - He explains and does not just recite a rehearsed script. - He’s funny without trying too hard. Natural, sharp and quick to quip. - He’s honest. No sugar-coating. At least so we felt. - He’s grounded in the local community. And then there’s the unexpected layer. Marko is a former professional Lindo dancer, athlete, culturally immersed. Marko lives the place, and it shows in every conversation we had with him. If you want a checklist tour, look elsewhere. If you want Dubrovnik to actually come alive, Marko is your guy. Full points from our party of three!

Hi Scott ,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your stories keep us going and help us to improve!

Would you like to share your experience on TrustPilot as well? We would greatly appreciate that!

We had a tour of the Prado Museum with Govi and she was great! She helped us navigate the Prado Museum in a fun and informative way. The Prado has so much to see that we could have easily been overwhelmed! Govi knew how to show us the pieces that gave us a great overview. She has a depth of knowledge of history and art history and she was able to show us how to understand the art in a way that opened up our understanding of the art and artist in a way that we would not have been able to on our own. She made it fun and interesting, at the same time!! We would highly recommend a tour of the Prado with Govi she was great!!

Sandra had lots of knowledge to impart about Stockholm and Sweden. We liked the small things she pointed us to, like passageways, a gourmet food hall and a 3d model of the whole city. Very charming and helpful. Despite her great performance we found the price charged by Withlocals to be very high at 280 euros for two people for three hours.
