Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our intro to Playa Del Carmen tour with Sonja was amazing. She personalized the trip to our needs and made the experience so comfortable. We will be tapping her expertise throughout our visit. "
"Our tour with Sonja was great. She reached out prior to make sure we covered everything we wanted to. We saw things we never would have found without her guidance. It was also fun to get a local experience around the city that would have been much more difficult not being able to speak Spanish. "
"Wir hatten eine großartige Stadtführung in Playa del Carmen mit Sonja – der perfekte Start in unseren Mexiko-Urlaub! Von Anfang an war sie sehr freundlich, gut vorbereitet und hat die Tour genau auf unsere Interessen abgestimmt. Sonja hat uns viele spannende Ecken der Stadt gezeigt, auf die wir allein sicher nicht gestoßen wären. Sie hat uns einen tollen Überblick gegeben und uns interessante Einblicke in das Leben vor Ort vermittelt. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns, dass sie all unsere Fragen ausführlich und kompetent beantworten konnte – egal ob es um Geschichte, Kultur oder praktische Tipps für den weiteren Aufenthalt ging. Mit Sonja haben wir nicht nur viel gesehen, sondern auch einen authentischen Eindruck von Playa del Carmen bekommen. Wir können diese Stadtführung auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!"
"Overall it was an excellent tour. It lays the groundwork for the area and you get situated with the basic area and surroundings. Some of the people in my group were hesitant to wonder off resort but this tour really put there minds at ease...Sonya was great...also the price ls aren't crazy like some other ones. We came from Canada so for us it was great. We recommend to anyone travelling to the area. "
"This introduction to Playa del Carmen was just what we needed to get ourselves situated and get to know the town and some of its best spots. Some of the tips we learned with Sonja on this day helped us the rest of the week, and she was very helpful and responsive to what we were interested in seeing. Highly recommend! "
"We went with Sonya to playa del Carmen and we see a lot of the city and we learned a lot of the history of Playa del Carmen and the local culture. She picked us up at our hotel and she knows the places to be in the city. She took us to a local street food place for the local food and drinks. We enjoyed her company and her wishdom about the history of the city."
"First off communication was easy that helps when traveling in a foreign country. Second, We had the best day with Sonja. She took the time to explain all the local attractions not only at street level but a special trip to a rooftop pool for a city overlook. She knows her history and the names of monuments. We had time to shop local for unique gifts as well as the tourist stuff. Plus a bonus of an added local Mayan chocolate shop and a look see at a beautiful local resort with gorgeous gardens. She knows all the secret spots. Sonja took the time as well to take photos of us and we didn’t have to attempt the dreaded selfie. Lastly when we were ready to head back to our hotel she took the time to find a local drugstore for some sunscreen purchase and then hailed us a cab. She is very kind and a great guide. We would definitely recommend and go on another tour she has planned. "
"I had not heard of With Locals before searching for tours for our recent Mexico trip. I took a chance and it was well worth it. Sonja made communication easy and was flexible. We had a laid back tour at our pace of Playa del Carmen, which was a perfect start to our vacation. We woke at 2:30 am to make our early flight to Cancun that day, so a laid back tour at an easy pace was perfect. She showed us all the hidden gems and took fabulous photos of our family. She also helped me get transportation added to our Xoximilco booking which was not only a relief, it made that excursion so hassle free. I would have spent a lot of time dealing with that on my own. In fact I only mentioned that I needed transportation added and she thought of taking me to the Xcaret booth and getting it handled for me. I definitely recommend Sonja and with locals and wish I would have known that Sonja is an official guide for the ruins. I had already booked our Tulum tour. We each selected three favorite things of our week in Mexico and my husband said this tour with Sonja. He felt like she showed us all the special spots and it was well worth it. We did a lot during our week stay- so this is a very high compliment. Thanks again Sonja (and little Valentino), you made our trip extra special. "
"Vorab Sonja ist ist eine tolle empathische Person. Es war wie ein Spaziergang mit einer Freundin durch Playa del Carmen mit allen wissenswerten Infos die man sich erhofft hat. Die Tour wird ganz individuell von Ihr gestaltet und Sie geht auf die spezifischen Wünsche und Bedürfnisse ein. Ich kann diesen \"Kickstart\" für einen Aufenthalt in der Region nur wärmstens empfehlen 🫶"
