We met up with Natalia on the morning of our first day in Nice. The meeting location was very easy to find and she was prompt on messaging to find each other. We did a tour of Old Nice which we have now been back to three times to scope out some of the best items that she recommended. We then went on a walk up to the castle so got a lot of the history of the area and there’s a playground up there that the kids played at while we got some more recommendations of local things to do. We loved getting this insider view of the city. Have already recommended WithLocals tours to family and friends.Family friendly tour! Great time!

Communication before and after was amazing. I would definitely do another tour with her next time.Perfect intro

We had the pleasure of experiencing a relaxed and cozy tour of Nice's city center with Guido. She not only showed us the most beautiful spots in the city but also always responded to our questions and shared many interesting stories about the local shops. The visit to the Castle Hill was particularly impressive, where we learned quite a bit about the history of Nice. We would have loved to hear even more information during this part of the tour, but overall, it was a wonderful time. Guido is a highly recommended tour guide who impresses with her friendly and knowledgeable manner. We can only warmly recommend this tour!Wonderful Tourbin Nice with Natalia

We booked a two hour walk with Natalia and loved every minute of our time together! Not only is she knowledgeable about the town of Nice, being an actual resident and raising her family there, but she very personable and easy to spend time with. Her English is excellent and she even followed up with some recommendations that we requested after our tour together. Highly recommend! Awesome experience with Natalia!

Natalia provided the perfect introduction to Nice. It seemed like just a relaxed stroll because she was so friendly and engaging. Without realising it we’d covered a lot and learned even more. Her clear love of Nice and commitment to it has us now feeling the same. The fact that she is from another continent/hemisphere provides an even better perspective to get a real insider experience for a visitor. Fantastic Natalia, all the best, Tim & LynPerfect perspective

We had a lovely tour with Sara who was very friendly and welcoming and adapted the entire tour to our group as we had already been to the castle as was on the tour plan. Sara did an on the spot modification of walking around Nice and explaining so we saw many new areas we didn’t know existed and had a good feel of the city. Sara gave many tips for areas to see around Nice and also restaurants to try depending on our food preferences. Lovely afternoon exploring Nice

Sara was new-ish to Nice, so didn’t have the depth of knowledge that some With Locals guides do. She did have some interesting information about the city & mostly knew her way around. It felt like strolling around with an old friend more than a tour which was good for us. She helped us get Metro tickets for the following day & showed us some fun local food spots & shopping.

Natalia was delightful. She gave us an excellent introduction to Nice, and took us all around the town to places we would not have discovered on our own, such as Cadran Soliere. She pointed out some amazing trompe l'oeil that we would have missed. We had a very enjoyable few hours with her and then felt confident enough to explore on our own. As a result we are going to make some plans to revisit for a longer stay at some point in the future.Genuine love and passion for her city

Natalia did an amazing job taking us around Nice. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. We were running late due to our flights being delayed. I notified her and to start our tour, she came to our hotel instead of meeting us at the previously arranged meeting place. She gave us great restaurant recommendations and day trip options. She was very friendly and professional. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience with her!!!Amazing Experience with Natalia!

Our tour was scheduled for 11:30. We’re staying in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, so checked bus schedules and selected a route that would put us at our meeting place, Place Garibaldi, by 10:50, well in advance of our tour start time. I shared that information with Karin via this app and got a positive response. Our first bus had a 20 minute delay when 18 Chinese tourists attempted to board the bus, and great confusion ensued. I sent an update to Karin advising of the delay and stating our arrival now looked to be 11:31. She acknowledged and told us she had a 2 pm booking, so would need to limit our tour to the original end time and I replied we understood. We missed our next connection by a minute and had to wait another 20 for the next bus. I again reached out to Karin via this app with an update, yet received no response. When we reached the airport, our choices were tram (30 minutes travel time) or Uber (40 minutes travel time). We chose tram. I sent Karin a final update setting our newest arrival time at 11:55, 25 minutes late for our tour, and reiterated that we understood our time with her would be limited. No response. We arrived at the meeting place at 11:55 only to receive a message from Karin time-stamped 11:37 stating she had left after waiting nearly an hour for us and saying the last message she received from me said we would arrive at 11:31. I messaged her saying we made every effort and couldn’t understand why she would leave 7 minutes after our tour was to have taken place. Her response was that we should have taken an Uber and left earlier to ensure we would arrive on time. Given we left SPdV at 9:30, I believe we planned as well as we could. I also told her the time differential between the tram and Uber and finally stated she may have mistaken the start time to be 11:00, not 11:30. No response received. Bus Delays and No Guide

Do not hestitate, book Natalia! She is very friendly and accommodating to her audience. We were travelling with 3 kids, and tours with lots of story telling and historical facts do not really work with children. No problem for Natalia, she kept it digestible, she added food stops and made her stories and stops interesting for our kids. They loved it and and so did we! Thanks Natalia Amazing host!

We have a new friend for life with Natalia!!! This may have been my favorite tour of a 2 week trip. Okay, yes I like to eat and this was a tasting tour, but we got the best treats along the way. Natalia is charming, easy to talk to and we definitely formed a bond. She showed us all around Vieux Nice so that we were comfortable knowing our way around for days after the tour. She pointed out the best food stops, restaurants and shops and remained available after the tour if we needed anything. She is so lovely and she made us fall even more in love with Nice and its spirit and the joie de vivre !

We booked a food kickstarter tour of Nice that included 6 food tastings. We expected this to be like other WithLocals food tours where we would walk & talk, stop to eat, walk & talk, eat, etc. Unfortunately that did not happen. While Karin was a pleasant and informative guide, we only stopped for food once 1.5 hours into our 2 hour tour. When I pointed out that we were not getting what we had paid for, Karin said the company writes the description but that is not the tour she does. Lesson learned is to always confirm the tour specifics with the guide. We complained to WithLocals and got a credit and we learned a lot about Nice (which was helpful) but we were disappointed since we did not get the experience that we expected. Pleasant guide, but not the tour we booked
