Kevin was awesome... knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. It was not a rigid walk but rather we had space to get exactly where we wanted.

Very nice guy as well

We did 3 hours with a local. The local had moved for school and it seemed like this was a job to hold them over until they found one in their field. Gave us some history about the city and was friendly. But other than that the tour wasn’t very personalized. They Pointed to some streets and said there’s nice shops and restaurants here but didn’t give any specifics. Offered to stop if we wanted to buy something but also didn’t even have enough time to look in the windows with the fast pace we were walking. 3 hours was way too long. We walked the entire time. Some of it felt forced just to fill the time. The guide took us down this street with night clubs where drug deals are made in the evenings (the guide pointed this fact out) and also pointed out a lot of clubs but my partner and I weren’t interested in that. And we just walked a loop down this street when nothing was open and there wasn’t anything to see and few words were exchanged. We were hoping that we might sit down for some coffee or at a park and just talk about the culture or work/life balance or raising kids and such to get insight into what it might be like if we moved to Sweden but the guide hadn’t lived in the city for very long and really only had insight into the university that they attended. We actually ended the tour early since we were exhausted and at that point walking full speed with no talking with the guide. Would probably be a better experience with a different guide that had been around more than a few years to attend university.

Hello, We apologize for the delay in responding to your review. We do not get automatic notifications for reviews on Trip Advisor. I am sorry to hear that your tour did not go as you expected. From your review, it seems as if perhaps you would have preferred a professionally guided tour rather than a Lokafy tour. In all of our information, we outline that we provide unscripted walking tours through a city with a local - just as you would see a city if you had a friend showing you around. Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like what it's like to live there, advice on their favorite restaurants, and also connecting on a personal level. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level. Regards, Marnelly Lokafy Team

We met Andromeda and we were off on our own specialised tour. We were asked what we wanted to see & off we went, downtown, the Haga district, great view from Gotias towers & finished off sampling some local ales. Andromeda had great insights into local history & kept us entertained. She was warm & friendly. We really enjoyed our private tour

We had a great tour of Gothenburg with Ms. Patel. She gave good explanations of the sights around town and she took care to be with us the entire time we had booked for. Thanks for the detailed tour.
