Our tour guide she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Loved it thoroughly. We got to see areas that we wouldn’t have seen normally.

Uninspired

Sandy_M, Sep 2022
Our guide was pleasant but not particularly knowledgeable about even basics such as the name of the rivers feeding Lake Zurich. If there were secret doors of Zurich, we did not have any opened for us. We walked around the old city without much direction. We learned more about Zurich after the tour looking up our unanswered questions.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for your review, every feedback is very valuable to us. As we put an emphasis on quality, we will take your opinion into account and do everything to avoid a similar occurrence. We hope that in the future, we will be able to change your mind with your next potential booking. Kind regards, Aleksandra

Long walk lots of Info

We experienced 3 of the 5 secret doors with David. He's also doing history tours so we had that also. Need to be more explicit on length of the walking in your description

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you so much for this nice feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a nice time discovering secret doors with David. We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner! Kind regards, Aleksandra
