Hanry was a fine guideHe 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 changeHanry came up with a tour that was very interestingSince 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 rightHanry is very professional and very knowledgeable
Hideaki from ToursByLocals.comis a true professionalHe collected us on time and was very informative and knowledgeable about the area of Mt.Fuji and Lake Ashi that we went tooWe were able to stop and play in the snow which my wife had never seen before which was very specialUnfortunately, the day was overcast so the view of MtFuji was hinderedI 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 onWell worth the money spent and no hassles at allHideaki even took us to a traditional Japanese restaurant at Lake Ashi which was excellent
Our tour in Bangkok was amazingOur tour guide Tommy, went above and beyondHe was fun and extremely knowledgeableHe had a world of patience with our group of and was always pleasantWe 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 memorableTommy was professional and accommodated us 100%We hated to say good bye and feel we made a friendI can only highly recommend TBL!
My family of are first time visitors to Paris and Madame Genevieve proved to be the best guide to take us aroundShe was very accommodating, flexible and very knowledgeable about her cityWe can't recommend her highly enoughAlso special mention goes to Muhammad, the private driver employed by Madame Genevieve for taking us around Paris
We had a wonderful tour in Datong with Nancy! She provided us with delicious food and made sure we were comfortable at all timesShe is sweet and fluent in English, too
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 amazingSo 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!!!!
As a party of four we wanted a personalised tour of Alberobello in early September from our cruise ship in Bari, ItalyWe had special needs since my husband has mobility difficultiesAlthough our booking was rather late, we received immediate, very considerate and efficient help from our tour organiser, Caron MShe responded compassionately and organised a wonderful tour and a very kind and knowledgable driver for usWe were able to customise our tour to our precise needs, were met punctually and greeted very warmly by Caron herself and our tour guide, whom she had selected very carefully to fit our needsIn summary, we were highly delighted with our excursion and would recommend Caron and Tours by Locals very stronglyThe whole experience was far better, more personal and more economical than taking a group shore excursion organised by the cruise line
Andres was an excellent tour guide! We booked a private tour to visit the Penguins and it was a great day! He was on time in the morning, very knowledgeable about the area and everything ran smoothlyHe was even able to accommodate our schedule to get us back in time for a flightHis English was also excellent and we could understand everything he said
I would highly recommend FrancescWe began communicating months prior to our cruise and I found him very responsive and knowledgeableHe communicated frequently and developed a great hour tour of the city including transportation to our cruise ship
Knowledgeable, informative, professional, good EnglishI'm very happy Han was my guide to Kyaikhtiyo, the Golden RockHe smoothed the way for the chaotic, confusing truck ride to the top of the mountainProvided good info & knows great photo sitesAs requested he chose local eateries that were great & at local pricesChose an excellent driver & comfortable a/c carGreat additional stops eg lunch line of 700+ monks, rubber tree plantation & processingI had a great trip and highly recommend Han!
Stefan was a great guide with ToursbyLocals; a true local with a broad range of local knowledge, simplifying and clarifying the region's long and varied historyHis upbeat personality, full English fluency, and flexibility were much appreciated by our family, making Munich one of our favorite cities on our tour of GermanyHighly Recommend
Tours By Locals always meet or exceed our expectations with the many tour guides we have used throughout the world The latest was our tour in Trujillo Peru Everything about our tour to the archaeological sites of Trujillo with Patricia was greatThe tour I arranged was for a group of senior citizens from ages in mid sixties to early eighties from the USA & Canada, and without exception, everyone complimented me on the arrangements, and Patricia, on the tourWithout a doubt, Patricia gets a top rating of in every category
Hayden's tour was really nice! He showed us some nice places in GeorgetownHe also gave us some good advice on how to get to Georgetown from where we were before that Would recommend Hayden to anyone!
