Our guide Victor brought great insight and wonderful narrative to his tour with us. His passion and knowledge were outstanding. I am very glad that we were able to enjoy these two museums that highlight the Impressionists since Giverny was not an option at this time of year.
We had wonderful time with Fleur. Due to medical emergency with one member of our party we had to reschedule our originally planned date and thankfully everyone at Localers were patient and flexible enough to reschedule the tour within few days. we were a group with kids ranging from 14 to 6 and two adults. the kids, especially the teens and older kids loved it and Fleur answered all their questions about art they observed and the artists she knew about. Walking was little tough for our 6 year old but he pulled through and Fleur did her best to include him and find things he would be interested in to keep him engaged. Fleur was so generous with all her knowledge about history of Barcelona and Spain, not just about the street artists we were learning about. But for all of us best part of tour was Fleur taking us to the art gallery where some of the street artists work and display works. My husband purchased a piece of art and even my nephew made small purchase. Kid were so intrigued at being so warmly welcomed into an art studio and gallery where there was actual art they enjoyed. For the next few days we went on walking trips to find the art pieces of the artists we learned about. Overall is was an unforgettable and super enjoyable afternoon and we cannot thank Fleur enough.
We can’t say enough about Maica and her knowledge of Barcelona and of course the Gaudi buildings we viewed. We were a fairly large group of ten ranging from grandparents to kids and she was so very attentive to all of our needs and questions. Maica shared her very detailed knowledge about specific subject matter and Barcelona. She was always flexible with paving since we were so many. And we are just appreciative to have someone as patient and knowledgeable as her to guide us through the two magnificent Gaudi buildings. She helped make our trip interesting and memorable.
Where do you find these guides who are so intelligent? They know so much it is frightening :)
I contacted Localers in early December and took one of their two openings for the da Vinci exhibit available for the remainder of the month. The service they provided was excellent and I met Athina, my personal guide, at the appointed time and place. I have been a student of da Vinci for over fifty years and have seen previously his work at the Louvre and the Uffizi. The exhibit exceeded my expectations and the two hours flew by as Athina enhanced my knowledge and appreciation of the many works we enjoyed together. I could do a self-guided or group tour and saved a lot of money but it would have been an uncorrectable mistake economize on a once in a lifetime experience.
Elvira is one of the best tour guides ever! I just loved this tour sur mesure of the amazing Uffizi and Capelle Medicee. Not only is this guide extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, but treated us like family. She also has a beautiful personality and is great fun! A surprise awaited us when ending the tour at the oldest perfume & pharmacist located in the magnificent Santa Maria basilica. I strongly recommend Elvira, as you feel she wants you to have the best of time! Thank you so much!
Kate was a superb guide - so knowledgeable and smart - she brought the entire exhibition to life for us. It would never have been as good without her guidance and insights on Leonardo and Renaissance Italy and influence of Flemish art on Leonardo. Give Kate a 100+ (out of 100) rating. Superb!
We were so lucky to have Elisa as our guide. She was amazing. She took us at a slow path through the Academia museum. Elisa captivated us with her comments and stories. Not only she is knowledgeable but she's also a storyteller which makes her very interesting to listen. She was very nice and friendly and patiently replied to our questions. Definitely recommend Elisa. Definitely recommend her !!!
This experience was totally worth it! It gave me an overview of the must-see places in Paris plus great pictures. Sabine is such an awesome guide! At the end of the tour, it felt like we were good friends. I will definitely book again on my future trips!
The tour was as perfect as it could be! Marie-Claire was completely charming and exerted so much effort to make sure I had a fantastic experience—and I did. The level of her knowledge is incredible. I felt truly fortunate to have a guide who was not only an impressive expert but also a lot of fun. In the past, I arranged a private guide for my family’s visit to several sites in Rome and also for the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and they were excellent — but Marie-Claire was five times better. Animated, warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about art. I cannot imagine a better guide. Thank you again!
Romain was AMAZING!!! I will 100% be recommending him to our friends! Our Louvre tour was one of my kids favorite things we did and they said it was because of Romain.
Highly recommend. Private tour is a great way to get more personalized insights on Paris history. Guide was very knowledgeable. Will definitely use again.
We have done several tours with Localers and they are definitely worth the money! We are pretty independent travelers, but there is no substitute for local knowledge. Localers has the best guides!
I did 2 tours with Localers and would enthusiastically do more when I return to Paris. The main reason is the quality of the tours themselves, the fact they are authentic experiences, and you learn so much!
