Wayan was an amazing guide and made our experince in Bali a day to remember. We saw so much and learned so much about the culture and Hindu people it was wonderful. I hope to return and would hire a local guide again.
We had the real pleasure of working with ToursByLocals during a recent trip to Tokyo. The company was wonderful to work with, and it was very easy to schedule exactly the tour we wanted to our first trip to Tokyo. Our day with our amazing guide Hiro was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Japan. He tailored our tour to our interests and was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Best of all, he was a great conversationalist and a wonderful source of information about Japan and its contemporary culture. I highly recommend him as a tour guide.
I requested a customized super heroes tour for my grandson and myself, and Matthew went above and beyond our expectations! He took us by foot, subway, and bus to various sites around Manhattan, and connected with my 8-year old grandson by sharing stories, movie scenes, and locations shown on the tablet he brought with him. Matthew gave us both a day we will always remember!

Leonardo gave us an amazing tour of the Cinque Terre region. He made sure we saw everything we could possibly see and then, even though it was getting dark, he extended our tour to take us to see Pisa lit up at night. Our shore excursion with Leonardo was the highlight of our cruise.
Yasuko was a GREAT guide and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND her Best of Tokyo tour! She met us promptly at our meet up time and was very informative with many historical facts throughout the day. She was flexible and let us choose where wanted to go and would recommend different shops and food stalls to stop. For lunch she took us to a local noodle restaurant that we would have never found on our own. We really enjoyed our time with her and are sure you will too!
Genevieve was amazing getting us through the city on our first day and helping us get ready for a week in Paris. Extremely helpful, giving us tips and recommendations and taking us to special and specific places we were interested in. Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with for the afternoon! The perfect introduction to Paris, Thank you!!
Jean was wonderful. She was very responsive to all of our requests and easily changed plans twice when our original ideas couldn't be completed due to traffic. She was funny and personable and simply a joy to spend the day with.
We have used Tours By Locals in England, Scotland, Russia, Germany, Spain, Costa Rica and Portugal.
They are the very best and will continue to use and promote in the future. All of our experiences have been great, even with the varied ages of our group of 4 or 6.
The guides have not only been knowledgable but very personable.
They know the in's and out's to take advantage of often short tour times and always seem to be well organized.
Hat's off to a great company and its people.
Alex was energetic, flexible, and insightful. She knows the back streets and the back stories and gave us a terrific introduction to Portugal and Lisbon at the beginning of our visit. We had scheduled a 3 hour walking tour and extended it to 4 and stopped only from jet lag. She gave us great suggestions for the rest of our week in Portugal.

Susanne was friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating. She explained the history behind the sights we were seeing, and answered all of our questions. Her tour inspired us to learn more about the area and delve deeper into the treasures of Paris. Monmarte has a fascinating history, and is now a special memory for us. Take a tour with Susanne, we HIGHLY recommend her!
Alberto was everything we dream of in a guide. He was professional, very knowledgeable about Maya culture and history. Our private car was very comfortable. His enthusiasm for Mexico and the Yucatan was infectious. His English, though not perfectly fluent, is extremely good, and, especially, he has an excellent vocabulary for his subjects. We especially enjoyed talking with him about Mexico in general; he made sure we did as much as we wanted; we enjoyed our time with him. Highly recommended!
ToursbyLocals.com did a great job communicating with us and handling the business end of things. Very dependable. Thanks for introducing us to Alberto [redacted].
Doug is a Memphis treasure! We were in Memphis for a three day getaway and to see a concert. We decided to spurge and stay at the Peabody and when I read about this Tours by Locals we were quite excited. I have to say that our expectations were high, but Doug's tour exceeded them!!! We were absolutely delighted with all of his stories, making history come alive. He has a gift for telling with expertise, charm, and musical talent when relaying origins of famous lyrics. Loved this tour!! Very happy that we are signed up for another tour in Belfast this summer. If in Memphis, make sure to take this tour!
My family of 5 are first time visitors to Paris and Madame Genevieve proved to be the best guide to take us around. She was very accommodating, flexible and very knowledgeable about her city. We can't recommend her highly enough. Also special mention goes to Muhammad, the private driver employed by Madame Genevieve for taking us around Paris.
Our tour in Bangkok was amazing. Our tour guide Tommy, went above and beyond. He was fun and extremely knowledgeable. He had a world of patience with our group of 10 and was always pleasant. We were surprised by Tommy with extra gestures (to include a souvenir gift for each of us) and a stop at the candy making place, making our tour even more memorable. Tommy was professional and accommodated us 100%. We hated to say good bye and feel we made a friend. I can only highly recommend TBL!
Traveled alone and booked the half day Soweto tour. So Nathan could take all his time for me, I learned and saw so much, never expected that.
Had some expectations what I would see but Nathan showed me more.
Parts of the tour will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as I even had the opportunity to talk to other locals and to get the deepest possible view in the life of the people of Soweto.
I left Soweto both, positively surprised as well as shocked and sad!
I can only recommend this tour! Thanks Nathan!
We all enjoyed the tour despite the cold. Victoria is knowledgeable and she even managed to arrange a private mass for us on the spot. That was really a blessing. What we really liked about Victoria was the way she explained and her viewpoints on certain areas of the tour.
Hideaki from ToursByLocals.comis a true professional. He collected us on time and was very informative and knowledgeable about the area of Mt.Fuji and Lake Ashi that we went too. We were able to stop and play in the snow which my wife had never seen before which was very special. Unfortunately, the day was overcast so the view of Mt. Fuji was hindered. I accidently left my wallet in Hideaki's car and with constant contact I was able to retrieve it from him via an external guide company associated with the cruise ship I was on. Well worth the money spent and no hassles at all. Hideaki even took us to a traditional Japanese restaurant at Lake Ashi which was excellent.
Our guide in Hobert, Tasmania, "Vicki" was fabulous! Professional, very personalable, knowledgeable about the area, and set up our day to cover what we had requested. We enjoyed our day with Vicki and it was one of the highlights of our Australia/New Zealand tour! Thanks, Vicki! Great job.....we highly recommend her! Ed and Sally [redacted]
Hanry was a fine guide. He really went out of his way to accommodate us since our ship change itineraries (ports) after we left, which meant we had to change the tour due to our port change. Hanry came up with a tour that was very interesting. Since we all had been to Kusadasi before, and had seen not only Ephesus but several other areas as well, it was really good to see something we had not seen before and Priene, Miletus and Didyma was just right. Hanry is very professional and very knowledgeable.
Wayan was an amazing guide and made our experince in Bali a day to remember. We saw so much and learned so much about the culture and Hindu people it was wonderful. I hope to return and would hire a local guide again.
