"Pretty much as described"
Overall, it was fine. What was listed is mostly what we got, so I can’t really complain, but it didn’t exactly wow me either.

"Really relaxed and personal tour"
We booked a tour through withlocals and had a great time. Our guide was really good — he knew so much about the history, little side streets, and random spots we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. It didn’t feel like one of those big group tours at all, which I liked because… yeah, it just felt more natural. We asked a ton of questions and he answered everything really easily. I’d definitely use it again.

"Our Withlocals guide was right on time…"
Our Withlocals guide was right on time, which I appreciated more than I expected. The meeting spot was in a busy area, so we were slightly worried about finding him, but he was already there waiting and even sent us a message. I weirdly remember there was a guy nearby balancing a huge stack of bread crates, and somehow our guide was still easy to spot. No stress, no awkward waiting around. The tour got going smoothly and felt really relaxed from the start. I’d definitely book again.

"Nice family day out"
We booked a local guide with our two kids and it went prtty well. Our guide was really patient, slowed things down when we needed, and found easy spots to stop so the kids didn’t get too tired. Not everythng was perfectly smooth, but it felt safe and very kid friendly overall. I’d use withlocals again.

"Really good itinerary, honestly"
The itinerary just kind of made sense, you know? It didn’t feel rushed or packed too tightly, which I really appreciated. I ended up finding a few spots I probably would’ve totally missed on my own, so yeah… really happy with it.

"Such a fun and surprisingly easy food tour!"
I booked a food tour through Withlocals i was SO nervous about the language thing at first. Like, I fully imagined us standing there confused and awkward the whole time. But our guide spoke really good English! Not absolutely perfect, but that actually made it feel more real and relaxed, if anything. He explained everything clearly, answered all our random little questions, and we never once felt lost or left out. He was also super easy to chat with and joke around with, which made the whole experience feel way more comfortable. By the end, I was basically wondering why I had stressed about it at all. Such a lovely tour, and I’d definitely use Withlocals again.

"Easygoing and Personal"
There were four of us, and it worked out really well. Our local guide kept everything relaxed and we never felt rushed, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable. It felt a lot more personal than being stuck in a big tour group... just a nice, easy day overall. I’d definitely book again.

"Tasty local bites with a good flow overall"
We had a really nice time trying different local bites, and our guide was friendly and easy to chat with. I always notice the rhythm of tours like this, and most of the stops had a good pattern to them, a little background, some tasting, then enough time to take it in. One stop did feel a bit rushed compared to the others, but overall we enjoyed the experience and found some great spots we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own.

"Getting around was so easy and stress-free, lol…"

"Our host was super friendly and really easy…"
Our host was super friendly and really easy to chat with, which made us feel comfortable pretty much right away. They also gave us some great local tips that came in handy later, or maybe it was earlier that day, I got a little mixed up with the timing. The tour itself was relaxed and didn’t feel rushed at all. The only minor thing was that we started a bit late, though I’m still not totally sure if I had the start time right. Overall, it was a very good experience

"Easy enough once I picked a tour"
I booked a local tour through the site and it was straightforward. I kind of bounced around between a few options for a while, prices, times, what was included, then back to the photos again, but that’s more just how I make decisions. The site itself was clear enough, and checkout/payment went through without any issues. Overall, a good experience.

"Heads Up: Super Easy Pace"
Just a quick heads up for anyone considering it: the pace was perfect and really easy to keep up with. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable

"Booking issue got fixed, but..."
I had an issue with my booking and ended up reaching out to customer support. They did get back to me eventually, but it took a lot longer than I expected, and I had to explain the same problem twice, which was frustrating. It did get sorted in the end, so there’s that, but in the moment it felt stressful and not super helpful. I just expected a bit better, tbh...

"felt like a local afternoon"
our guide took us to these tiny little food spots we never would’ve found on our own. the stories along the way made it feel really personal and not touristy at all. i’d definitely book it again.

"Real Local Experience"
Felt like I actually learned the real culture. Not just the touristy stuff. More local. More honest. Really enjoyed that.

"Easy to cancel, refund took a bit"
Cancelling was straightforward, so that part was fine. The refund just took longer than I was expecting, though it did seem like it was going to come through eventually. Overall, not a huge issue, but I probably would’ve liked it to be a little faster

"Really Nice Personalized Walk"
Our guide asked what we were into and then totally adjusted the walk around that, which was really nice. It felt super personal and made the whole experience way more enjoyable.

"Super Flexible Host"
Not gonna lie, I had to change the time last minute and the host was totally cool about it. Really appreciated how easygoing and understanding they were.

"Replies were a little slow"
The replies came a bit later than I expected, which felt unnecessary for something simple. It wasn’t a huge issue, but the wait was a little annoying
