Additional Information

Explore the city from a local’s perspective. Without a predetermined agenda, you have the freedom to personalize the tour or let the local guide take the lead for a knowledgeable overview of the city. Focus on the individuals you encounter, not just the sites you visit. Our walking tours offer an alternative to dull historical tours, engaging you with the city from a local’s viewpoint. Participate in a journey that shifts your travel priorities towards the people you meet, equal to the landmarks you visit. Our local facilitators (Lokafyers) are fervent about their city and keen to impart their knowledge and viewpoints. As Lokafyers aren’t regular tour guides and only lead tours occasionally, they provide an authentic, intimate experience, akin to a friend showing you around their city. By the conclusion of the tour, you’ll feel confident navigating the city and assured you have the necessary information to maximize your visit.

Not enough local knowledge, sadly - Ramon was a really nice guy but lacked the knowledge of a true local. He has lived in Melbourne for a year which is less than the 6 times we have visited over the years. Didn't really gain any new knowledge or insight. He needed to Google directions for the most famous places in Melbourne, which i actually knew how to find. I think lokafy need to look at their overall brief for what they class as 'private tour with a local'. I have used this company many times. Another guide we had, again in Melbourne, was a lovely German chap who had lived here for just 1 month prior and we ended up guiding him!! We understand that it is not a history tour etc, but sadly, we learnt nothing new, although Ramon was a really nice guy.
