Enjoyed!

Marla_K, Oct 2025

Nice tour of the city and very sweet guide - enjoyed all of it especially the fort above the city and the views

The best of Gothenburg.

Jonathan_H, Sep 2025

Our tour guide Gaurab or simply G was fabulous….knowledgeable, personal and very professional. He had a plan mapped out for the tour based on our interests and it perfect. Highly recommend this tour with G.

This tour was not worth it. All we did was walk around the city with not enough commentary on the local attractions. We walked over 22,000 steps during the day. I wanted more history and detail.

Touring with local (Kevin)

Kerry_D, Oct 2024

Our guide, Kevin, was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this tour.

Big bummer

laura_b, Sep 2024

Tour guide was a no show.. no one answered the messages, and 10 hours after our tour we received an apology and excuse of technical issues.. poor communication for sure

Very good tour

LUntore_R, Aug 2024

Knowledgeble guide, great balance between history, art, and curiosities. Perfect way to have a customized tour!

See the city with a friend you haven’t met yet

Marje_L, Jul 2024

I loved the Botanical Gardens, talking with one of the curators. I also loved seeing the city from an insider’s view

Poor

Simon_B, Jun 2024

Guide was not a local, knew very little about the city and followed a route on google maps. Could have done it better myself.

Meh

mark_b, May 2024

Meh. I would have prefered a tour from a local for a tour called "like a local."' She was sweet and nice but didn't know that much. We didn't really see anything other than the park and botanical gardens. Both nice, but could've done that on our own. Sorry.

Be a traveler, not a tourist

Robert_M, Sep 2023

Walking through the old city in Gothenburg with Nada as my guide was like having a friend with me. Only this friend knew all about customs, culture, where to go and also acted as interpreter. She made me feel as if I were a traveler in her city, not a tourist. At one point we stopped in an antiques store we passed along the way, because I love antiques. I loved the visit. I enjoyed the entire day with Nada, learning so much about Gothenburg.

Gotberg walking tour

Steve_D, Aug 2023

Our guide was very nice but town is more suitable to ride on the on and off wagon train. The area is spread out and riding is easier.

Best tour of our trip by Kevin

John_A, Aug 2023

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide Kevin was . Just the right amount of info given Obviously very passionate about what he does

Give this City a miss

JEFFREY_M, Jun 2023

This excursion involved a-lot of tram rides and a harbour cruise, followed by a Swedish lunch. The guide clearly expected us to pay for her lunch. Sadly, Gothenburg is not worth visiting.

Excellent Introduction to Gothenburg, Sweden

William_H, Jun 2023

We really enjoyed this tour of Gothenburg. Our guide was an excellent and a flexible guy. The tour was fun and flexible. We got to explore all the great points of this wonderful city and learn a lot about Gothenburg. We had time for lunch and the recommendation by our guide was excellent.

Great way to see Gothenburg

Merran_B, Jan 2023

Our guide Kevin was great. He took us to lots of interesting spots and was very knowledgeable about them all. He was friendly and gave us some good tips for things to do while in the city.

The guide knew few facts...

Ingrid_R, Jun 2022

The guide knew few facts about the city. The tour was merely a walk through the town, pointing out buildings and statues with no further information. Questions were not answered, and a lot of information was wrong. We learned more from 50 minutes on Paddan, than our private tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello Ingrid, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about our tour. In all of our information, we outline that we provide unscripted walking tours through a city with a local - just as you would see a city if you had a friend showing you around. Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like what it's like to live there, advice on their favorite restaurants, and also connecting on a personal level. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level. Regards, Lokafy Team
