Ronnie was knowledgable, engaging, amusing, had some great stories and tailored the tour to our family. Could not ask for a better guide (along with his offsider Carey). Fascinating tour of Kowloon and its different side of Hong Kong. Highly highly recommend Ronnie. Loved it.

Exploring Delhi with Vishnu was pure joy! From his wonderfully welcoming smile at the start to his easy-going, flexible nature throughout the day, he made everything feel effortless.​Vishnu is a true wealth of knowledge—his insights are deep and fascinating—yet he is also great fun and lighthearted. He was completely dedicated to tailor-making the tour for me, pivoting instantly with 'on-the-go' changes to make sure I saw exactly what I loved.​If you want a brilliant, personalized, and happy experience in Delhi, book Vishnu

We have used 'with locals' previously and therefore it was the natural choice to go to to get the most out of our time in Colombo. We were particularly interested in food and history which is why we chose Deegoda. The tour was by tuk-tuk and Deegoda picked us up from our hotel to make it easier for us which was a great help. He was flexible on what we wanted to do - but warned us he is extremely enthusiastic about his country and city and therefore the tour might over-run! A great afternoon out. Highlight was the time spent in the local food market where it was clear he was known by many of the stall-holders. We got to taste many samples and gained a much greater insight into local live and culture. I could go on - but you probably don't have time to read more! Highly recommended.

Hajer was an excellent, friendly & knowledgeable guide. I’m so happy to have spent a wonderful day with her. Great communication prior to the pick up, lovely comfortable car & a relaxed vibe. I got to see all the places I wanted to & enjoyed a few surprises too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend withlocals.com or Hajer - worth every penny.

I booked a guide through withlocals for a tour in Hong Kong. Our guide’s name was Circle, and she was great. Circle took my wife and I on a tour of the local markets and along the way she introduced us to some of the local delicacies. Circle was very knowledgeable of Hong Kong and kept us informed and entertained the whole time. We had a wonderful time and I can highly recommend Circle. If we come back to Hong Kong we would definitely do another tour with Circle.

My family (husband & sons aged 17 & 19) and I spent a fabulous few hours with Tommi last week touring the hidden gems of Amsterdam. We specified our interests as unique aspects of history, architecture & culture and were not disappointed. Highly recommend as an efficient and enjoyable way to gain an alternate view of the city, beyond the usual tourist sites. We covered a lot of ground walking and via train/ tram, and ventured to parts of the city we would otherwise not thought to have seen. My sons and husband - a relatively tough crowd - were thoroughly engrossed and we all came away having learned something new and interesting. Tommi is extremely enthusiastic and passionate about his city, which made our tour extremely worthwhile. Highly recommend!

I had a tour from Saigon to Mekongdelta with Thien. An extraordinary experience because of the local experience, great food, lovely people and most of all because of the amazing Thien as a tourguide. Please, do yourself a favour, pay a little more and book this tour instead of the cheaper touristy tour to Mekongdelta. Thien helps to avoid crowds and wasn’t shy to share her knowledge.

We had the pleasure of going on a five hour tour of Lima with Carlos and it was excellent. His knowledge of the buildings we visited and the history of Lima and Peru more broadly made it so enjoyable. We also particularly enjoyed the many anecdotes that he shared us at each of the locations. We would highly recommend Carlos.

The company is a nightmare to deal with.

Once they have your contact information they will repeatedly harass you for feedback on their services. They have asked my five times for a review of a tour I did not attend. I have asked them to stop but they continue to email me and text me.

I have received numerous other emails in addition to their harassment for me to leave a review.

This tour met and exceeded all our expectations. Ines is a great guide, well educated, strong personality and open to discuss any topic. We discovered indeed a lot of well know places but also some beautiful hidden gems that you would easily overlook when using any tourist book. We learned a lot about the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina, the daily living of people and the challenges they face. Definitely appreciated our open discussions about politics, health care, education and economics, and comparing Belgium with Argentina. She even thought about some small details: e.g. leading us to some shadow places (it was 32 degrees) before explaining anything. When visiting Buenos Aires ask for a tour with Ines, you will not be disappointed. Danny & Ann

I have been a loyal host with Withlocals since 2017, but the current treatment I am receiving is deeply disappointing and unprofessional.
Despite completing a tour on January 6th, I am still waiting for my payout. When I contacted support, I was told the payment had already been 'transferred', yet the screenshot they provided clearly shows the status as 'QUEUED' with no transfer date. Claiming a payment has been made when it is clearly stuck in their internal system is misleading.
I have already personally covered travel and extra expenses for the guests, and waiting 20 days for a reimbursement is unacceptable for a partner of 9 years. Furthermore, I have serious concerns regarding GDPR compliance, as my profile and image remain published online without a formal signed release.
I have set a deadline for January 16th.

If this is not resolved immediately, I will be forced to escalate the matter to the European Consumer Centre (ECC-Net) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP). Hosts and partners, be careful!

UPDATE Jan 16th: Withlocals' reply is misleading.
You claim payments follow "standard terms," but I have an email from your staff (Sherif) explicitly admitting: "I acknowledge that there is a delay from our side." >
2. You claim I can manage my data via "account settings," yet you have PERMANENTLY DELETED my account and blocked my access immediately after I raised GDPR concerns, making it impossible for me to manage anything.
You say you are "available," but you removed me from all host communities to prevent me from talking to colleagues.
I have already provided all evidence to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Case cd2e-fb6c) and ECC-Net. Professionalism is shown through payments, not template replies.

Absolutely brilliant experience, Pablo was the perfect guide, he was knowledgeable, outgoing and friendly and he 'made' our visit to Buenos Aires. We appreciated how he took the time to show us many hidden gems, from Architectural highlights to the social and cultural areas of the city. We both feel he went out of his way to make the experience very special and he tailored our tour of the city encompassing everything we wanted to see and experience. Sadly, the queues to see Eva Peron's tomb were excessive, not Pablo's fault. To have someone like Pablo at your side makes experiencing a city so unique and memorable.

Atreyu was a fabulous guide. Do not hesitate to book in and learn as much as you can from him in your two hours together. We covered a lot of ground, enjoyed hearing stories and learning about Strasbourg from Atreyu. We were so pleased with his foodie recommendations and we have eaten well since our tour (sadly the eclair shop was closed!!). Thank you 🙏

My husband and I did an evening food tour with Silvia (and her partner Robert). It was amazing! Not only did we sample an incredible amount of food (both carts and sit down) we learned so much about the local food scene. Silvia and Robert really made the experience fun. This was my first time booking with Withlocals and it definitely won't be the last. Every detail was easy. I don't want to give away everything we ate (and it was a lot!) but it included foods we never even knew existed or would have found. For example, delicious frozen juice pops that we had to knock on a door to order and local soda/beer. We also had endless fruits, delicious ceviche and just about every local delicacy you could think of trying. We left very full and happy. The pace was perfect, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop. This tour is a must for food lovers, and anyone wanting a peek into Cartagena's authentic food scene.

AWESOME customer service. I worked for a company that had a motto that said "Show me a customer with issues and I will show you my best customer." Well, my wife and I just completed a cruise (From NCL - Another review that show's what poor customer is) where NCL canceled ALL ports in Australia. This impacted our ability to have a tour with Withlocals. We were inside the timeline of a refund of any kind. However after working with the team at Withlocals. They agreed to refund half of our costs. By contract they did not need to refund any money. Withlocals did the right thing by a customer that had an issue that was not their, Withlocals, issue. My wife and I will use Withlocals next time we need a private tour! Outstanding.

Had the pleasure of booking a private one day tour with Tuyen (pronounced Twin) to Halong bay. Right from the start I knew it was going to be a great trip. Twin contacted me before the trip to ask us what we were interested in doing on the tour. He gave us some options and then offered advice after we discussed our desires. It was truly a unique trip exactly what we wanted and hoped for. Twin picked us up at our hotel in a new SUV that was big and comfortable for the ride to Halong. Twin told us about Vietnam and its history during the ride to Halong. The time flew by. When we arrived he escorted to our private boat for the day. We departed seconds after boarding. Lunch was amazing both the vegetarian option for my wife and the Vietnamese food for me. And, of course, the bay was beautiful, worth the drive over from Hanoi. I can’t think of a better way to see the bay. Highly recommend Tuyen

Ines greeted us with a smile and a hug. From the first few minutes, we knew that this was going to be a great morning spent. Her knowledge and welcoming persona were captivating. We learnt so much during the 3-hour tour and saw some amazing places that we would never have found. It was so interesting and engaging that we still remember most of the facts still!!! I would highly recommend her, not only for newcomers to Lisbon but anyone who has been before, will learn something new AAA+++

Hiroyuki our guide for the day is so hospitable and knowledgeable about everything.
If you really want to get more out of your stay, history, culture, people in Nara then Hiroyuki is the right choice.

Greetings from Sweden

We had family tour in both French and English with Alexia. We met here in market in Le Marais and started with incredible crepes. She was informative, well spoken, knowledgeable , and passionate about showing us the details of the area, history, and culture of Paris. It was exactly what we hoped for and more.

Rosana, who is with the company Withlocals, was one of the best guides that we've had in our travels. She's incredibly knowledgeable, personable and able to share not only the foods of Buenos Aires, but also includes the sites and history of both. I recommend this tour, no question, as you get to learn a lot about the people and culture of the place you are visiting.
