Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Cris was amazing; very friendly, well informed, and patient with us! She went above and beyond our expectations…we would take a tour with her anytime, anyplace"
"We had a wonderful day with Alessandro. It was an easy tour from the beginning. He picked us up at our hotel (right on time) and off we went into the countryside! He took the time to show us several beautiful spots along the way to Lake Garda. The winery at the end was really lovely. We got to meet the owners and it felt very special. We are on our way to Venice and he sent us some recommendations for that stay as well! It was a wonderful day and I recommend him very highly! Italy wins!!"
"We booked a day trip to Lake Garda and the surrounding area with Alessandro on February 13 25, He was prompt to the hotel and our journey was on. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, it was foggy and drizzly. But Alessandro did his best to keep us entertained. We stopped at several villages and took in the history of the area. We concluded our day trip with a tour of a local Winery, what a great way to finish the day. I would do another tour with Alessandro,he is knowledgeable,courtesy and helpful. Alessandro thank you for a lovely day, we enjoyed ourselves despite the weather."
"My sister, cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed our Lake Garda tour with Emiliano. He was very accommodating to our specific needs and what we wanted to see. We would highly recommend Emiliano for a tour of Lake Garda. Mille grazie Emiliano!"

"Our guide ,Manuel, was super accomodating, helpful and knowledgable and made us enjoy our day trip to Verona. The restaurant that he recommended for lunch, Trattoria Fluviale Vecio Mulin, was so good and tucked away, as only a local would know as it was what we wanted. We enjoyed the view of the river and the castle while enjoying the great food. Our trip to Verona is indeed made memorable with Manuel as our guide."
"This was our second tour with Martina during this stay in Verona. Martina was simply exceptional in looking after us on this occasion also. She arranged for her boyfriend Henny to take host us for the initial part of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed his company during the wine tasting. Martina then took over and completed the tour which included a visit to Lazise. Again, her knowledge of the area and historical locations was outstanding. We are particularly grateful for her care and assistance in conveying us to Bardolino which was our next location for our visit to Verona and Lago di Garda. Grazie mille Martina and Henny."
"This was our third tour with locals and have been very happy with each. Isabel’s picked us up and then took us to many locations throughout the Garda Lake and Volpolicelli area. Started with a wine tasting with one of the winery owners who is 6th generation family owners. Great information in casual setting with great tasting wines. Moved into Garda Lake where we made various sites for lunch and scenery . Isabella was very informative and attentive to what we were interested in seeing. Highly recommend booking a tour with Isabella and Tour with Locals you won’t be disappointed."
"Martina holte uns pünktlich m Hotel ab und brachte uns in das wunderschöne, moderne Weingut Facci bei Bardolino. Junge, freundliche und kompetente Menschen bereiteten uns einen unvergesslichen Nachmittag mit köstlichen Speisen und exzellenten Weinen."
"My group had a great time with Izabela on the half day tour to Lake Garda! She was very accommodating, communicative, and friendly. We all learned a lot about the area and enjoyed our time with her. The tour itself was also great - we were picked up at our place of stay, brought to beautiful places, and dropped off at our desired location. The entire experience was 10/10! "
"We had such a great day with Alessandro! We only stayed one full day in Verona and we definitely got the most out of it and more doing this! He was helpful, fun and flexible to make the day especially good for us. Would highly recommend. Thank you! "
