We had a 10 hour freestyle tour with Mully on April 13, 2016 during our family vacation to Bali. We enthusiastically give him 5 stars. He was prompt, friendly, and oh so knowledgeable. We had all kinds of questions for him and whether they had to do with the biology, botany, geology, history, religion, or social norms of Bali, he was quick and informative with the answers. A pleasure to be with and would hire him again in a second and highly to anyone traveling this wonderful part of the world.
Fabio was an excellent guide!
His tour was interesting, funny and passionate.
He is very knowledgeable and seeing that he clearly loves what he does made it all the more enjoyable for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends
Louis provided me with another "Life Experience"! Louis' understanding of the continuous thread of Montreal history to the present made Old Montreal come to life in all it's architectural glory. We could have gone for another two hours! I recommend a tour with Louis W. for a five star historical adventure!
Winston was engaging, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Despite the cold and rainy weather he made our tour of Granville Island extremely enjoyable.He answered all of our questions and showed us some "off the beaten path" treasures. I highly recommend that when in Vancouver you employ his services as it is time and money well spent!
Hayden's tour was really nice! He showed us some nice places in Georgetown. He also gave us some good advice on how to get to Georgetown from where we were before that.
Would recommend Hayden to anyone!
This company is excellent. We have used several of their guides throughout Europe and none of them have been a disappointment. We will continue to use their services, wherever a guide will enhance or make our trip. They are flexible, reliable, easy to contact, and extremely competitive price wise; possibly better. If a guide professes knowledge of their subject to this company, then we know they have it.
Our walking tour with Anne was everything we could have asked for on our brief stay in Paris. She was knowledgeable, charming, and very eager to share her city with us. She took us to both the highlights and little known areas of Paris and replied quickly via email with answers to our questions before our trip. We will return to Paris for a longer stay and look forward to seeing her again. Be sure to visit her favorite pastry and macaroon shops- wonderful!!
I have used TBL in the past, and once again it proved to be a wise investment. My guide, Simone, patiently waited for me at the airport even though my flight was considerably delayed. Once I arrived, Simone showed me the time of my life, making me feel like a local myself. I truly felt the Carnival energy of Rio. Also, hats off to our driver, Roni, who was a really nice guy. Simone was very creative in making sure I saw all that I wanted and more, making it an unforgettable experience. Thanks Simone :-)
In Lisbon we had a terrific tour with guide, Gloria [redacted]. Gloria is a wonderful tour guide. She treated us like royalty. Her knowledge about Portugal and Lisbon and Jewish life in Lisbon was excellent. We enjoyed being with her for the day. One of the highlights was visiting the only synagogue in Lisbon where we met with one of the members and could ask questions. Gloria showed us much more of Lisbon that we even anticipated. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone visiting in Lisbon. She was delightful.
This October trip was our second time with a tourbylocals guide, first in Kyoto Japan last November and this more recent one in Netherlands. We met Walda at our hotel lobby in Amsterdam. Walda is gracious and punctual. We went thru the National gallery and the Van Gogh at a nice pace seeing the key works and hearing their artistic nuances and historic significance. Walda teaches art history so we got briefings along the way respecting art and the country outlook. Very enjoyable halfday for 1st time visit!
Best tour we've ever had. Alex (our guide) was on time, nice clean car, and she was very professional and knowledgeable. In contrast, we paid much more for group port excursion tours on a ship cruise afterwards, and the cruise recommended guides were nothing even close to Alex. Alex was helpful by email well before her tour which is a service we have never received, before the tour with Alex. We will be using ToursByLocals much, much more in the future.
Miyuki was knowledgeable and very helpful in describing the important places in Nagasaki. She was also very helpful in finding things that my wife wanted to buy. She even helped with our transportation. Her English was excellent. We will recommend her to friends who travel to Nagasaki.
Susanne was a fantastic guide. This was my first trip to Paris so I wanted to see all of the highlights that I could during my short visit. I am confident I was able to see more sights with Susanne than I could have on my own for three or four days. Susanne was very knowledgeable, very friendly and engaged with my entire group. I would highly recommend Tours by Locals and more specifically Susanne for any trips to France.
I had an overnight layover in Dubai and went to ToursbyLocals so I could experience the city. I am so glad I did. Our tour guide, Sunil, could not have been more amazing. So knowledgeable and professional. Had an amazing experience. I cannot recommend Sunil more highly to anyone visiting Dubai. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of this amazing tour guide!!!!
We have used ToursByLocals in NYC and Las Vegas. Like it a lot and are sharing our consistent positive experience with the friends. In Las Vegas we had two tours. Are very impressed with the guide, Barbara [redacted], pre-tour communication, her willingness to spend her time to understand our needs and interests. Good tour, flexible, open to changes on a short notice, nice, friendly, and reliable. Our pre-teen and teen age girls very much liked our time with Barbara. I also like informative website, information on tour guides, easiness to book a tour, cancelation insurance, responsiveness and good follow up after a tour is booked. Definitely a good, friendly, easy to use, helpful business for the visitors.
Very nice tour given by Leoncio, very friendly, came on time. He showed us many places an told us a lot of stories, local history and gave us a lot of information. Dropped us at a nice restaurant at the end of the tour. A very nice experience!
We used Tours By Locals for a tour of Santiago, a Chilean Winery and then a transfer to our cruise ship. It was well organized, the guide was very professional and knowledgeable and the whole experience was a very good one. I would use them again in other locations and would highly recommend them as a good option for local tours.
Riccardo was an EXCELLENT guide. Personable and kind, he also has established all of the right connections within the tourism industry to make the experience seamless for his customers. He is an expert; his professional and educational background and his status as a local all added to that, and he clearly keeps current with developments in archaeology, history, natural history and other aspects of Sardinian culture. He added a trip to see a wonderful view of Cagliari to our itinerary to end a perfect day.
