Great guide, but poor planning

Jeffrey, May 2025

The tour would be worth it, if more attention was paid to the itinerary. I answered questions beforehand, but she didn’t seem to know that as we met.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Jeffrey! Thanks for the review! we're sorry the planning wasn't up to par but so glad that you thought your Lokafyer was great. We really appreciate the feedback and are working on improving that. We would love to have you join us again sometime in the future!

Best way to see a city.

Hiring a non-professional guide is not only cheaper but can often result in seeing things off the beaten tourist track. Great value and more personal.
