Withlocals: Private Tours

Booked a tour, received confirmation in writing. Spend thousands of dollars to travel here. Have limited time. Show up at appropriate time and the guide is not there. Call the guide and the guide knows nothing of my tour and is currently guiding a different tour elsewhere. I was able to locate a different guide last minute at considerable more cost. Reached out to With Locals who promptly refunded my money (same as what credit card dispute would accomplish) and offers a voucher for a future booking. I have no plans to return to any city served by With Locals in the next couple years so the voucher is useless to me and I’m left with the added cost. The bottom line is their written confirmations mean nothing.

We loved our food tour with Lisa. She was very friendly and informative of the local restaurants, culture and dishes. There were 6 in our group, including a 1 year old baby. Lisa introduced us to food and restaurants that we never would have found on our own. She was patient in answering our questions and we learned a lot about the local vendors and traditional dishes from a variety of the cultures in the area. Our group would highly recommend Lisa and this tour.

We had an amazing food and history tour with Gabriele—would highly recommend him as your guide. Not only did Gabriele provide us with delightful food selections, his knowledge of the city and history was extensive and fun. He also went out of his way to address our requests, spending extra time with us as we purchased gifts to send home. If you are considering a food tour of Rome, please select Gabriele as your guide for a truly memorable experience!
