My was nice but very quiet. He would answer my questions so he knew somethings but had nothing prepared and we mostly walked down the streets of the old town in silence unless I asked something. For a very expensive private tour it was terrible. I would have gotten more out of a cheap group tour.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry the experience did not live up to what you paid for. While our Lokafyers are locals who share their city from their own perspective rather than professional licensed guides, we do expect them to be warm, engaged, and proactive in sharing their city, not passive or quiet. A tour where you were largely walking in silence unless you asked questions does not reflect what Lokafy should feel like, and it falls short of the standard we hold our Lokafyers to. We will be investigating this internally to improve the way our guides interact with travellers. If you'd like to discuss your experience further or have us look into your booking, please reach out to booking@lokafy.com. Thank you again for your feedback.
Luisa, our tour guide, introduced us to places we would not have been able to find on our own. The narrower street in Europe or Vico in Genovese, a beautiful elevated park, built on top of a catacomb, with a gorgeous view of the city and the mountains. A very beautiful and peaceful place! And lots more!! She obviously loves her city and her enthusiasm was contagious. She told us about a very pleasant and out of the was Restaurant where we enjoyed an authentic Genovese lunch and the most delicious apple crumble we have ever tasted! Yum! Thank you Luisa for a truly unforgettable experience.
Davide was an incredible guide. Thoughtful, reflective, shared a good balance of history with modern anecdotes and was an incredibly kind person to get to know. It felt as if we were walking around with a friend. You MUST do this tour. We walked by several large group tours and they were so impersonal and not "local". He supported our language learning and we felt blended with the city and culture.
This review truly warms our hearts! It perfectly captures the essence of our concept, and we're so glad you got to experience it with Davide. Thank you for your kind and honest feedback!
We loved learning about the history of the city’s construction. The tour made us slow down and notice things we wouldn’t have looked at otherwise. Thank you Pier!
Good tour with Davide, our guide who was very friendly, he adapted the tour to our wishes and gave us a nice overview of the city. He also gave us good advice and adresses for our stay.
Davide was excellent, it was perfect for my family, casual, comfortable, just the right amount of walking.
Davide was an excellent local guide. He met us at our hotel and walked us through the old town, and down by the water before showing us a few of his favourite spots. He provided a thoughtful history of the city and region as we walked and it was great to get to see Genoa through the eyes of a local. Highly recommend Davide as a guide!
We really enjoyed our tour of Genova with Davide. He had an extensive knowledge of the history of Genova and tailored the tour to our interests. To top it off he recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch.
Davide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and personable. We were able to see sites we would not have otherwise seen, and gain a better understanding and view of Genova. Highly recommended a tour with him!
Was perfect. A nice stroll with a local who guided me to key vantage points while talking about local culture + history. A perfect blend. It felt like being with a good friend.
