We have traveled the world. Always using Viator. The guide was nice but literally had no knowledge. We knew more than her. Not happy at all This is not a good look for Viator. Disappointed

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your walking tour in Siena did not live up to your expectations, especially as a frequent traveler. While we are glad you found the Lokafyer friendly, we completely understand how important local insight is to creating a meaningful experience. Our tours are designed to offer a casual, personal perspective of the city rather than a traditional, data-heavy historical tour, but we clearly fell short of delivering a valuable experience for you. We will be reviewing this closely with the local partner to ensure better alignment and preparation moving forward.

Nice Venice walk
Nice, casual introduction to Venice. AMA was very proactive in getting to us before the tour and made sure we got what we wanted for our tour.

Siena is a city...
Siena is a beautiful city! It was our first time there and we loved it! The tour with Paolo was very nice!

Our guide Martina was delightful.
Martina was a terrific guide for our stroll through Siena. She took us to both the touristy areas and the off beat spots. Would gladly recommend her tour.

Exploring Siena with Martina!
Martina is a very friendly and kind and knowledgeable guide. I had the best experience with her as she showed me the important sights and explained the history of Siena. It was a pleasure to spend some hours with her.

A one of a kind tour of Siena
Giacomo guided me on a solo tour of Siena this afternoon and it was my best tour so far. He took me outside the city center to see some to other smaller churches and a spectacular view back to Siena from the north. He was very knowledgeable but also added in some of his personal experiences growing up there. It was fantastic and I highly recommend him as a guide. Steve

Charisima the visit for what is explained and for the level of Spanish of the guide
The guided tour is very expensive, as the guide lacks the necessary knowledge (history, dates, curiosities...) and also because of the low level of the Spanish language. Total disaster visiting, a misused and expensive afternoon.

Hola, gracias por tomarse el tiempo para compartir su opinión. Lamentamos sinceramente que la experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Hay dos puntos que queremos abordar. Sobre el idioma: si reservó una visita en español, esperamos que su Lokafyer hable español con fluidez. Si ese no fue el caso, fue un error de asignación de nuestra parte, y lo revisaremos internamente para entender qué ocurrió y reforzar nuestro proceso. Sobre los conocimientos históricos: en Lokafy, nuestros Lokafyers son habitantes locales que comparten su ciudad desde su propia perspectiva, en lugar de guías turísticos profesionales con licencia que ofrecen comentarios históricos estructurados. Muchos de nuestros Lokafyers conocen muy bien la historia de su ciudad, pero no podemos garantizar el nivel de detalle (fechas precisas, datos históricos exhaustivos) que ofrecería un guía profesional. Para viajeros cuya prioridad principal es ese tipo de información, un guía con licencia suele ser una mejor opción. Si desea hablar sobre su experiencia con más detalle, no dude en escribirnos a booking@lokafy.com. Gracias de nuevo por sus comentarios.
