Local knowledge for tapping into the soul of Salamanca - Our guide Noemí is a local and she gave us a custom tour of Salamanca that we will never forget. From seeing Salamanca from across the river after the storm, to finding the frog on the school at the university and the astronaut at the cathedral facade, the tour was full of insights, history and stories. The cherry on top was finding La Tuna rehearsing at a bar in the students district. Truly recommended.

Best way to see Salamanca - It was more than just a sight seeing tour. Our guide Deborah was lovely and made our tour of Salamanca very special through her eyes as a student of the university. She took us to all corners of the old town of Salamanca and showed us the city through her eyes. We highly recommend this tour! We hope you get Deborah. She was absolutely delightful.

Delightful - Débora was an absolute treasure. She was friendly and approachable. She tailored the tour to suit my interests. And she was happy to help me with my Spanish, which I really appreciated. Highly, highly recommend!

A Charming Introduction to Salamanca - We really enjoyed our time with Brenda. She is very personable and we had lots to chat about as she is in education and I am a retired teacher. She is very knowledgeable about Salamanca - loved the indoor market and the library! Since she is from Peru, we could add info about that country also.

Not recommended - avoid Lokafy - I do not recommend this provider or this service. We got paired with "a local" but he didn't have any knowledge about the city other than the location of the main sites on Google Maps. He had to use their phone when we asked them questions. He also asked to cut the tour short, which we chose to do because he wasn't making it interesting. I asked for a partial refund which the provider Lokafy refused.

Complete disaster - It was the worst experience in our life(4 of us) w/tour guides.
Besides that our tour guide, young woman, spoke very bad English she did not know basic history of Salamanca.
For example she said that new cathedral was built in the beginning of 20 century!!!
We paid more than $200 for walking around Salamanca w/her.
And we think that it’s fault of the company not this young woman.
I will never use them and will try to do my best to convince everybody who wants to use them not to.
