Our wonderful guide, Adam O. customized our tour to include all the attractions we wanted to visit in an 8hr. period. In fact, we managed to see everything we wanted to see in even less than the time allotted. We travelled by train and taxis to see everything and fell in love with Kyoto.

Petur was the highlight our Iceland trip around the Golden Circle. From the very beginning of our booking,
he was easy to work with, communicated timely, answered all of our questions, and personalized our trip. Just based on our emails during the booking process; I was anxious to meet him and he did not disappoint. He was flexible and met every request. We enjoyed getting to know him and we feel like he is now part of our family. All 12 of us on the tour talked about him and our Golden Circle experience throughout our time in Iceland. It was the best start to our 7-day adventure.

My tour of Calgary with Rob exceeded my expectations! He listened to me and customized my tour to provide a fabulous experience.

Marta was outstanding in arranging our tour around the fact that my sister is 81 and cannot walk long distances without breaks.

Her partner Czester also took wonderful care of us and arrived early to pick us up

Marta is very reliable and thorough. Highly recommendable.

Krakow Half day city tour

Marta did an excellent job customizing this tour, We used her van to go to the top of the castle so we did not have to climb a pretty steep hill. we went through the castle and then did a walking tour of Old Krakow at our own pace. She is very knowledgeable and what we liked most was her ability to customize the tour to our liking.

Solrum was fantastic. We would highly recommend her for a future trip and hope we have a chance to go back and spend more time with her in the future.

A very big thankyou to Guillermo for a wonderful half day bird watching tour! We were able to tick off a stack of new birds and exceeded all our expectations! He knew where to find the birds, knowledgable of conservation efforts, general local history and also architectural insights. He was able to fulfil my special request of the Hoopoe! He arranged a special morning tea with some local characters! Just an all round great guy to spend the day with. His love of Gran Canaria shines through. Book him! You won't be disappointed.

Fabrizio did an amazing job guiding us on our tour! We had a fantastic time. Highly recommend him as a guide and the experience!

Toshi made this tour the highlight of our trip to Tokyo! He was super knowledgeable, charming and kind! My kids loved him! My kids ages range from 16-31. I booked the 7 hour tour and it was astounding. I will reccomend this organization highly given the caliber of the tour guide we had!! Toshi was Amazing!!!!
Booking was super easy and super informative.

Excellent Tour! Justin was very knowledgeable and made our intro to Kyoto memorable. Excellent food recommendations!

An incredible tour! This was my first time in Hong Kong, and I only had one day to see the city (it was a work trip), so I needed to make it count. This tour was everything I had hoped for: architecture, history, culture & religion, food, gardens, neighborhoods, markets, and even tips for getting around and good takeout spots near my hotel. Kiyo brought me to many fun and unusual places I never would have thought to look for, let alone would have found. I learned a ton, and the day flew by. The tour was nicely customized, too. Kiyo adapted the food selections to my tastes. And an extra challenge was that the forecast was rain on and off all day. Kiyo adjusted the tour to account for the rain--even timing different parts of the tour to be indoors at specific times of day. As Victoria Peak was obscured by clouds, he took me to other spots where I was able to get great views of the city. In short, this was a fabulous tour, personalized to me (and the weather), with a lot of attention to detail. Kiyo was a delight to spend the day with. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

We were picked up by our guide Emmanuelle F. in Bordeaux at our hotel. She was prompt, and spoke better than perfect English. We were lucky enough to have her for two full days-the first we spent visiting smaller privately owned wineries (and an amazing picnic lunch), and the second day we started at a local market in Libourne, and then visited the charming town of St. Emilion. We again ended with a delicious picnic lunch at the beautiful Chateau D'Aiguilhe.
She was extremely responsive to what we wanted out of our trip to the Bordeaux area, and made excellent dinner suggestions. We could not have been happier with our choice of a guide!!

Kirk was very knowledgeable and made our day long tour easy, fun, and a great learning expierence!

We had the best 2 days with Richard! He engaged everyone from the 3 girls to parents to grandmother. He was very informative & interesting, and flexible with what we wanted to do and see. We can't wait to come back in a few years & book more tours with him!!

Lisa L. did an outstanding job in Guilen, Yangshou China - going out of her way to make my travel experience outstanding. She has a knowledge of the area like none others as well as speaking good English and treating everyone with respect. She is a great choice of a tour guide having contracted with other ToursByLocals I say this with all honesty.

What a lovely tour! So thankful for our time with Kabelo and could not recommend more! It was the best way to see the Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach and included so many interesting stops and sights along the way. Thank you Kabelo!

Javier was a great guide. He picked up 6 of us and all our luggage in his large van and by using the city map, he explained our route to different and very interesting places in Vancouver. It was really a good idea. We stopped for snacks and lunch, which was great for our 2 teenagers. Because our flight back to NY was very late he stayed with us through out and then took us to the airport. We would highly recommend him, and Tours by Locals.

What made the tour great was Agata's knowledge of not only where we were heading, but also of Poland as a country. Poland is a very special place that's had a tortured history and it's important to learn about it while you're visiting. She was also very open about her personal life which is fascinating and we felt so much more connected to Poland having spent some 16 hours with her over two tours. You're good to go if you book Agata.

I highly recommend booking through Tours by Locals with Diego! From pick up at our hotel through the drop off he made the day enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and doesn’t just throw facts at you, he asks questions to get you involved. The experience is very personalized for your group. When we return to Mexico we will schedule our next excursion with Diego!!
