We love using withlocals, its always great to have a person who grew up in the area showing us around. This was our first time using the app in the USA and not in Europe. Look forward to using with locals again.

Fantastic tour
Going on a tour with Brett is like meeting up with a friend in their town, we instantly felt at ease and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Brett knows a lot about his town and his humour really added to the experience. He didn’t make us feel rushed at the end and took his time giving us some awesome restaurant and bar ideas.

The Inside experience you want
Brett was AMAZING!! The information he shared and also on the insider information that you know that is not easily available. I never expected New Orleans to have that much of history and also after hearing from Brett, I have new appreciation about the quaint lanes and homes.
Thank you so much Brett! we truly enjoyed ourselves

Jazzy history
We had a great tour with Holley! She provided so much information about the history of music in New Orleans, along with the history of the city itself. She had lots of fun facts, anecdotes and even some singing. Holley is knowledgeable, engaging and fun. I would highly recommend this tour!
