Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We booked our tour for the day we arrived in Dijon and it was wonderful to see so much of the city center. Christelle was flexible for our start time / we started early as we encountered no travel delays. We were even treated to a small savory snack, a sweet snack, and a coffee! How thoughtful! "
"Janaina was very informative and a pleasure to tour with! We really enjoyed our experience. "
"We booked the 10 Tastings Food Tour in Dijon with Christelle through With Locals in mid-September. Due to transportation delays, we arrived late, but Christelle was flexible and helped us adjust the schedule so we could still enjoy the tour. She spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about Dijon’s history. Although we only had time for a few tastings, the historical tour was excellent — full of insights we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. Highly recommend taking this tour with Christelle!"
"My wife and I have done multiple tasting tours across Italy and France the past few years. Janaina was one of the best guides we've had. She is clearly passionate, loves Dijon, and was great at mixing in history, food, and culture into the tour. Highly recommend booking a tour with Janaina! TIP: Book the tour on a day when the Les Halles market is open."

"Janania was great. We were there on a Sunday when a lot of businesses aren’t open and then we got rained on but all out if Janaina’s control! She was great dealing with the limitations presented to her. I’d advise avoiding Sunday/Monday tours in Dijon"
"Our tour guide was excellent. We are very happy to do the tour with this agency and particularly with Christelle. She is local to Dijon and speaks perfect English. She walked us through all the right places in the old town and explained not only the structures but the story behind the places and people. It is always good when your tour guide is not only knowledgeable but also passionate and local. I highly recommend Christelle. 3 hours well spent. "
"Janaina lead us on a very informative tour of Dijon. We saw and learnt much about the town."
"Being with Christelle feels like you are hanging out with your old friend that happens to be from Dijon, and you are visiting her. Rather than give you only facts, Christelle shares personal stories and gives the perspective of what it’s really like to be from Dijon. Her knowledge of food and history are top notch. The cheese board was our favorite, filled with different kinds of Burgundy cheeses. We would go again with Christelle any time. "
"Janaina loves her hometown and is eager to show and share all she knows about Dijon. Fun day! We had a great time. "
"We had such a wonderful time spending a few hours with Janaina and learning all about Dijon and it's history. "
