We had a fantastic sightseeing tour with Thien, 4 hours private tour on foot through Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. We saw many historical places and hidden gems, we would not ever had found ourselves. Thien gave us a great introduction to Vietnamese traditions and culture but especially deep insights about the history of the country. Thien is a great story teller. We highly recommend "Highlights & Hidden Gems of Ho Chi Minh City" with Thien ❤️😀. Best, Tine & Carsten

We had 3 days in Istanbul and booked a food tour for our first day. Our guide canceled the morning of the tour, there was no replacement guide offered, and the company says it will return our money within 10 days. So we have no tour and are out $250 dollars. Will never trust WithLocals again

Sandie was friendly and genuinely generous with her Vienna insights and knowledge. She shared so much useful tip with us that helped to optimize our plan for our short Vienna stay and focus on the most relevant. She was also contactable after the tour to offer any assistance we may need. Sandie provided an excellent kickstart tour and more

We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Munich with Vanessa! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but she also has such a warm and engaging personality that made the whole tour feel personal and relaxed. What impressed us most was how effortlessly she adapted to our group, even though her preferred languages are English and Portuguese, she happily switched to German when we asked, making the experience even more special and authentic. Her enthusiasm for Munich is contagious, and she managed to bring the city’s stories to life in such a fun and memorable way. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and truly felt we were exploring the city with a friend. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a private, customized, and insightful tour of Munich. Thank you, Vanessa, for an unforgettable day!

Ahmet was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and obliging. An excellent guide to the beautiful city of Istanbul. Really appreciated his professionalism. 5 stars

You could not get a more enthusiastic, informed, hard working host. Angelo Andre from 'Withlocals' was all that my wife and I hoped for in a host; polite, passionate, experienced and yes, very interesting. He never tired of answering our many questions; he is very well read and clearly loves all things historic, edible and walkable. A top host.

Our food tour was SO much fun! The food was delicious, but what made it special was hearing all the local stories and insights. Dario was fantastic — friendly, funny, and clearly passionate about Palermo. Come hungry — you’ll eat a lot and love every minute!”

Mine was an amazing guide. She told us how to navigate the public transport and made sure we made it back in time to our port. Customized our itinerary to our needs. Very knowledgeable and fun!

Chris, thank you again for taking my husband and me around the Edinburgh neighborhoods. We enjoyed all the information you shared with us.

We recently met Cesar for a private food-tasting tour in Valencia. As a professional chaf himself, he is extremely knowledgable about the specific preparation details of regional dishes. Perhaps best of all, he is a gentle, warm, and accomodating man... someone you would be fortunate to meet in any setting, not just in his capacity as a guide. Wonderful experience and strongly recommended.

Gelsomina was a wonderful guide. She’s genuinely nice, her English is excellent, and her tasting stops introduced us to new and delicious foods, as well as the classic French baked goods and cheeses. It was a fun and easy way to pass a few hours in a very nice neighborhood. We highly recommend her! was a wonderful guide.

We were extremely impressed with Tini. She is so knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the monuments we visited. In addition she has an extremely pleasant personality allowing us to ask her questions on a wide rage of non-tourist related topics. She is a gem and thoroughly recommended.

Lule was a phenomenal tour guide. He began in the Old Town, going through its history with a very light touch, I learned not only about history, but also ownership practices, the economic drivers of the city’s growth, Swedish character and cust soundoms, he even told me a few stories about Swesish American folkways and their Swedish origins. And while informing, he was funny and very cool. It was a great time and I learned a lot!

We booked time with Bartek, who was wonderful. His knowledge about the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter in Kraków was very impressive. He was also very understanding about my Dad being hard of hearing and trying to make sure he could hear everything. We really enjoyed the experience and would recommended him to everyone!

Omar was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and provided great content to our tour of the Duomo. A most enjoyable and informative tour. Highly recommend!

Karmen has the energy and passion to bring the experience alive! She showed our group of 4 a history of Dubrovnik while mixing in the GOT filming locations ! Would recommend Karmen's brand of enthusiasm to anyone looking to enjoy 2 hours of life like you were there when the filming went on!
GOT alive!

I’m so happy I booked my custom Istanbul tour with Abdullah. We had to reschedule once due to the protests for Palestine, but Abdullah made sure to give me enough notice and find another date and time that worked for both of us. His knowledge of history and story telling keeps you hooked, wanting to know more and more. I’ve never been much of a history buff, but I am now after meeting Abdullah! I can’t wait to do more research about some of the things he told me. We visited Topkapi Palace and Galata Tower, and he told me the history about Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which I had visited on my own a few days ago. Abdullah and I walked everywhere, only taking one underground tram. He was kind enough to walk me to my Bosphorous dinner cruise meeting location so I wouldn’t get lost. A real gentleman Masha Allah. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to visit the top sites in Istanbul and learn a little history along the way ❤️

Razvan is an absolute master of this city and its history. His true gift is his ability to tie it all together! This is no “show and tell” tour. His knowledge is deep and he shares his knowledge and opinions. A five out of five star guide. Superb!

We spent 3 hours walking at a leisurely pace through Florence to learn about both the history and culture of the city. Martina spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

A friend recommended using With Locals and I am so glad she did. We had a wonderful experience with Carlos. We did the Tram 28 tour to get an overview of several areas
We rode the tram up to an overlook are to look over the Alfalfa and out on the Tejas harbor area. Then we walked down and visited St Anthony's cathedral and other old church from time of the earthquake. We ended up in the Chiado and Baxia areas. We learned so much of the history of Portugal and Lisbon. We saw oldest bookstore of Lisbon and the large elevator. Carlos made sure that I got my taste of Ginginka and cod fish cakes. He recommended a nice quick lunch spot and made sure we knew several ways to get back to our hotel. Carlos is very personable and knowledgeable .I highly recommend selecting Carlos for a full 3 hour tour of Lisbon. We really knew our way around after the tour. Also be sure to check out the free Money Museum if you end up near Bank of Portugal. You will appreciate currency more after seeing this museum.
