Incredible day! Four of us spent our first full day in Bangkok with Kay. He was great......a pleasure to spend the day with. His knowledge and ability to explain the history of the sites was awesome. Would recommend doing the add-on of the long boat tour through the canals. Would highly recommend Kay for this tour....you will not be disappointed.

Sogui took us on an amazing 6 hour tour on Dakar. We had to tour on a Monday when the museums are closed, and yet he found great places to visit including the private gallery of Ousmane Sow. I would recommend Sogui to anyone visiting Dakar. You will enjoy the experience

We enjoyed a half day tour on Aruba with Shurby. Being an Aruba citizen from birth as well as a world traveler, he was able to share so much information from his personal experience even as a child growing up with his father planning out the roads around the island. We made it to many parts of the island except St. Nicolas and the national park. I would not hesitate to book with Shurby!

We loved our tour with Mora. She was able to curate it to what we wanted to see and provided great history about the area. She also drove very well, we felt safe and didn't feel carsick while she was driving. It was great to see the island from a local perspective. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island.

Great Tour, made my wife and I want to plan another trip to Miami to spend more time in some of the places we visited with Alex. Alex was very knowledgable about Miami and Miami Beach history and kept us engaged for the entire tour. We would highly recommend Alex and we would use him again.

Our tour with Roger was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and attentive, very entertaining, and with great sense of humor. The communication with him before the trip was excellent. He gave us very detailed information on where to go and how to meet him. He was simply perfect in everything what he did. Perhaps, because of this many of the animals representing Patagonia were showing up in our view making the tour even more exciting.

Co Co took us on a very informative tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. With her personal local knowledge and great English she guided us through a very interesting day. I am certain we saw far more than what we would have trying to do it in our own. It was a fantastic day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had an issue with some lost luggage and she went above and beyond to help us find it .

If there were more than 5 stars, Vanna would get it! By booking tours by locals, what you really want is a tour by a local person, and you 1000% get that with Vanna! We went to a local market (Lat Mayom)- an amazing insight to the markets of Thailand. She took us to a place that had the best Pad Thai in Bangkok, and it certainly was! She bought us street food, that she said was a "must try". Vanna was funny and kind. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is, don't book anyone else but Vanna!

Andrew Kenji is a very experienced guide. He gets the feel for the group right away and we enjoyed every single moment of the tour. It was not only the great food, that made this tour special, it was also all the interesting facts Andrew presented to us, about life in Japan and culture and regulations. We learned some facts, which added extra spice to the tour. We would book a tour with Andrew again at any time and can highly recommend him. Great night out!

It is very important for me that the local guide is comprehensive: cheerful, attentive, knowledgeable, and these are the kind of guides that “Tours by Locals” collects. It was not difficult for me to decide on excursions, because as a local guide from Norway, I know very well how demanding managers are when choosing local guides. All local guides are tourists themselves, and therefore they create tours that they themselves would like. It is important that local guides work for a long time, they are well known locally, and this is a guarantee of the safety of the tour and a guarantee of arrival on time by ship, train or plane! I strongly advise to choose local guides for your trip; this will recoup all your expenses by saving time, first-class impressions and memories that will last a lifetime.

We are SO glad we decided to hire Viviana as our guide for El Calafate. She was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive throughout our planning and trip. She arranged for us to visit glaciers, ride a boat, go hiking and have other adventures, and she answered all of our questions about local restaurants, shopping and the like. Our group of six adults — three couples — was grateful for her excellent work.

Our tour: Penang Culture & Nature Tour. We had already agreed our wishes with our tour guide in advance. We started with the Trishaw ride, followed by a ride through Art Street. When Lawrence realised that we would rather explore this area on foot, he spontaneously changed the tour and even extended it accordingly. We then took the funicular train up Penang Hill. Our absolute highlight was "The Habitat's tree-top walk" - an absolute must in Penang! An all-round successful day with Lawrence !

Cetty Spoto is a very profession guide. Her facts were interesting and relevant, but more importantly, she wove them into a story. She explained things in a way that was fun and interesting. As an architect she understood how buildings are put together and taught us to read the details of a building to understand the culture that created them. This brought them to life and made our day one to remember. Thank you, John & Cindy Esposti Black Hills

Laura was amazing! I traveled with my two sons (10/12), and she was fantastic with them. She knew exactly what they would and wouldn't enjoy and customized the tour for us. One of my sons told her at the end, "This was so good, I forgot about my phone!" The highest compliment;). She is personable, knowledgable, and has a love of Toledo that really shows.

Sam was the guide for our group of two families, including 5 children. We went on a two-day tour of the temples, Angkor Thom and the Tonle Sap Lake. Sam and his driver picked us up in their van from our hotel each morning. The van was stocked with ice cold water and there were always cold towels waiting for us after each temple visit--which was a nice touch and really helped with the heat. Sam speaks English very well. Sam is so knowledgeable of and passionate about the history of Cambodia and the Angkor area, providing historical context, personal anecdotes and interesting insights about the construction and engineering of each site we visited. Sam pointed out the Hindu and Buddhist influences in the different temples and explained the background and meaning of the different symbols, structures and carvings. It was also very interesting to hear Sam’s story about life during the war in Cambodia. It was a fascinating two days! Sam was the perfect guide for our group. He is friendly and flexible and patient and, most importantly, he really has a great personality—he is a lot of fun! We highly recommend Sam for his expertise, warm personality, and excellent service.

We enjoyed a fun and informative day with Rick that included visits to the Healesville Sanctuary and Dandenong Ranges. Rick led us through both areas, offering great commentary and information. Between stops, we had a nice conversation ranging from the local economy and politics to the area's history and culture. Although not on our original schedule, Rick also managed to squeeze in a brief driving tour of downtown Melbourne before returning us to our ship

Juan Cruz was superb! He is an intelligent and caring guide, whose knowledge of and love for Mendoza and Argentina made a great hike truly special. He provided everything we needed, and when the hike took us longer than either we or he planned, Juan Cruz was encouraging and patient. And while he was busy the next day, he arranged (and re-arranged when we changed our minds) a great day for us, including a driver. We have traveled extensively and have worked with many guides, Juan Cruz is among the best.

We got an understanding of the real "heartbeat" and energy of Miami. Martin is the best tour guide we have ever had!

On the road before dawn. First boat on the water. The sight of so many neon-coloured flamingos feeding side-by-side in the Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve has to be seen to be believed! Other highlights...eating the freshest shrimp, ever, for breakfast on the beach. Discovering homemade coconut popsicles (paletas). Procuring local pink salt (Flor de sal Rosa). Exploring the backroads. Catching a glimpse of day-to-day life in vibrant Yucatecan villages. An impromptu visit to a beautiful sunflower garden. We enjoyed Ralf’s company and his insights into Yucatecan life. He happily accommodated our interest in going off the beaten path for a while, and patiently waited for more than a few photos to be taken. He clearly had a lot of respect for the individual Yucatecans we encountered along the way. Muchas gracias…thank you, Ralf. A1!!!

Rosalia is a fantastic guide -- extremely knowledgeable yet fun. She hits the right mix of historical facts without getting boring or bogged down in details. In short, she's a good storyteller. I love history, my husband not so much and we both completely enjoyed our tour with Rosalia. I can't recommend her enough, take her tour, you'll be glad you did!

Tours by Locals was a great way to connect with a local guide. They provided options and backgrounds for each available guide. I will use this service again in the future.

Rafael was fantastic from start to finish! His emails before our meeting were clear and told us exactly where to meet, his van was clean, comfortable, air conditioned, and stocked with chilled water bottles for everyone. Rafael is personable, knowledgeable, fun, and accommodated our group, which included people aged 12 to 77. We had a ball with Rafael and we highly recommend!

Carolina is very nice and personable, it is a pleasure dealing with her. She has a very flexible approach, and was able to adapt her tour to our needs and desires. She promptly shared interesting and detailed information relevant to our visit in Sagunto as well as the general context, and helped us select some local food specialties really worth trying. We had a very pleasant day.

Monica is an energetic knowledgeable guide who has a very good understanding of Agra and the Taj Mahal. Her driver took us from Delhi to Agra for a monument tour, bear rescue just outside of Agra and dinner. The next morning Monica arrived for a 6:30am start to the Taj. Monica knows her history well. We both really enjoyed Monica's information and tales of Indian life. Monica charged $350 USD for the drive from Delhi, and 10 hours of her time.

Alberto did a terrific job. Was at the hotel early and we got a terrific overview of Brasilia. Spent plenty of time at the sites we wanted to see (alas the congress was closed but not his fault). He took us to a great lunch that was reasonably priced as well. He made our day in Brasilia worthwhile and a great impression of this unique city.

Agung-a fantastic, organized guide for a 1 day Bali tour; cruise port to airport! Agung & driver met us at Benoa port in traditional costume. Luggage was loaded securely in the van and off we went, visiting the places we chose with bonus stops suggested by Agung along the way. Our highlights included Ubud Monkey Forest/Swing at Tegallalang/Abian Desa Rice Terrace/Local winery/Uluwatu temple. Agung joined us everywhere & took pics for us too! We were dropped off at DPS airport exactly on time. AWESOME DAY!

Christian was absolutely the BEST!! He was knowledgeable and informative and it made the tour so entertaining! He had to deal with 6 women, 4 of which loved to talk, and he was so patient. I will be calling him again for my next trip to Boston.

Daniela was a terrific asset to my 15 day trip to Sicily..a very knowledgable guide in architecture, history, art, and local culture. Fine insight into how the multiple layers of historic cultures have effected, changed, and impacted Sicily and the result today. She knows where to eat too! We hit several unexpected bonus activities as a result of her curiosity and adventuresome spirit. Thanks and Highly Recommended!!

We recently returned from a one week tour of Sulawesi Indonesia. Our Guide, Mr. Christoper Tambanua, exceeded our expectations. He is 'professional' in every sense of the word. His communications were superb. He researches his tour highlights carefully, establishing personal contacts with local persons at key sites. He customizes his tour itinerary, taking you places not included in standard area tours. He is sensitive to your needs and preferences making adjustments, solving problems etc. Total superb!

Wow!! Juan is just fantastic!! We are from Nee Hampshire, USA and in El Chalten for 2 full days. Juan designed 2 amazing days of hiking for us. The first day was to Ritz Roy towers and the 2nd day was to Cerro Torre. He brought us the most wonderful lunches, which were enjoyed while admiring amazing vistas. Juan knew a special place to start the Fitz Roy trail which gave us a fantastic experience with a lot less crowds. Juan provided us with fantastic history answering our many questions during the hike!

Fantastic tour! Spent Christmas Eve touring the island with Angela and my husband and 3 daughters. Angela is prompt, knowledgeable and kind. She was there early at the port to pick us up from our cruise ship, the Celebrity Infinity. Her love of her homeland shone through as she described the history and traditions of Lanzarote. She was able to easily navigate through the hordes of tourist buses. We enjoyed learning about Lanzarote's Christmas traditions as well. Highly recommend this tour!

Elton was an exceptional guide! We hired him for a Jewish Heritage tour of Curacao and in addition to his broad knowledge of the island, he had clearly spent time learning about the Jews of Curacao. Elton speaks perfect English, was very personable, and promptly responded to emails. We would not hesitate to tour with him again.

Gaby is an amazing tour guide! We could tell that she genuinely wanted us to love the area as much as she does. She was flexible when our ship was late to dock. She brought us coffee & tea & snacks, was a safe driver, and had so much interesting information to share. We feel very fortunate to have had this tour with her! Highly recommended!

Possibly the best guided tour in my time in Turkiye. Oguz may be the renaissance man that I didnt know I was looking for :D. Helpful in coordinating with us, generous with his time, genuine in his efforts to meet our requests, and insightful in his conversations. We saw ancient/moderns sites/local neighbourhoods, and learnt their history/context. Had spectacular food. Enjoyed a gig (Anatolian rock!). Neighbourhood stories felt like a literary adventure. He continued sharing info after the tour! Top marks!

We have toured many islands, with wonderful guides. Sergui was the best we have had: exceptionally professional, polite and courteous. He gave detailed answers to continuous questions over the 7 hour trip. Extremely friendly and genuinley interested in us, after a while we felt we had known him a long time. At remarkable places he took photos we downloaded for free. (He is a professional photographer.) They are beautiful; capturing a special day. Thank you so very much. Ian Daniela Francesca Liliana

Alejandro took us to see the sea turtle release. He also showed us around Todos Santos and recommended a fantastic restaurant. I would highly recommend him! From getting us at our condo, to having cold drinks, to telling us about history and showing us around, everything was top notch.

Would love to give Yuji San for 10stars likes. He is knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of information. We've learned a lot of historical knowledge from Yuji San. We will definitely come again and look for Yuji San to bring us a tour again in the future

Mohamed es un guía fantástico y habla muy bien español. Mi pareja y yo disfrutamos de descubrir por primera vez la Medina y Mohamed nos mostró rincones fantásticos, lugares emblemáticos e históricos así cómo adentrarnos en mercados que nunca hubiéramos encontrado sin él. Destaco encarecidamente su amabilidad y hospitalidad, ¡así que, gracias de nuevo Mohamed! Por último, para los viajeros dudosos, recomiendo conocer Marrakech y su gente, son un pueblo con mucha energía y una cultura maravillosa.

Jooz was amazing. Highly recommend. She's so knowledgeable about the whole island. She was accommodating and adaptable to deal with our changing plans. She was funny , kind and made our day in St Marten the best. We couldn't have had a better time. She knows where to go when to go to avoid crowds.
