Spent too much time...

Cathy_L, May 2023
Spent too much time asking about my visit instead of telling us about London. Seemed too shy to talk while I am taking photographs of the places we are touring. Tour seemed less informative for the price we paid.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi there, at Withlocals we want our guests to have the best experience of their trip so we are very disappointed to find out about your negative tour experience. As we cannot directly get in touch with you from here, please email us at info@withlocals.com and we will make sure to follow up on this issue. We are looking forward to your email. Thank you in advance. Have a great day, Withlocals
