Disappointed

Joseph_b, Jun 2026

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

Response from Host, Jul 2026

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

Shane_S, Jun 2026

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.

Our guide Martina was delightful.

James_F, May 2026

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!

Mark_Y, May 2026

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

Steven_O, May 2026

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

Great

pascal_B, May 2025

Great local guide, who knew the history as well as anecdotes and made it interesting and fun, and I would highly recommend them... also was very helpful for a restaurant recommendations and other activities beyond the tour, which was much appreciated....I recommend him for fully for any group in englishor french

Very nice kid-Good Exercise

Matthew_F, May 2024

Jalal was a very nice and likable kid with an interesting history. However he know almost nothing about the history of Siena-and much of what he did tell us was wrong. In fact, I knew more than him reading up for 20 minutes or so on my plane ride from the states

Like hanging with a good friend for a few hours

Ben_D, Jul 2023

Jalal was an excellent, empathetic, and knowledgeable guide to the city and to his experience as an immigrant scholar in Siena. He put in extra effort beforehand to understand my interests and customize the tour. We shared stories and chatted easily for four hours. I’m a big fan of the Canadian tour operator’s philosophy and approach to storytelling and local culture outside of typical tourist experiences! The tour operator did a good job beforehand in setting expectations for this experience. This style of tour is like visiting with a knowledgeable friend for a while, rather than doing an academic deep-dive into Sienese art, culture, and history. Set your own expectations appropriately and you’ll have a fabulous experience.

Great experience with a Sienese!

Tanya_R, Apr 2023

We really enjoyed our walk around Siena with Chiara. She was great! We've been to Siena before but wanted to learn some additional details about one of our favorite towns in Tuscany. Meeting a local is a great way to learn more about the cultural aspects of living here as well as obtain tips about restaurants and activities. Highly recommend!

Siena is a city...

Carolina_I, Jun 2026

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

Charisima the visit for what is explained and for the level of Spanish of the guide

JOAN_F, Apr 2026

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.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

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.
