Full description
Explore the city with a friendly local who is passionate about his/her city and eager to share all the tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your trip. Meet where you're staying to get familiar with the neighbourhood, find out about the best places to eat and buy groceries, the easiest ways to get around, and the hidden gems you might have missed. By the end of the tour, you'll feel more comfortable in navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay. Once the supplier receives your booking, they’ll get in touch with you to confirm all the details for the tour: meeting place and time, language and your contact information, and also ask you some questions to get to know you better. They hand-pick the right local for you based on your interests. Each tour is completely customized so you can choose the meeting location, start time and length that you prefer (minimum: 2 hours).  During the walking tour you will have the option of taking public transportation or taxi to get around the city (at your expense). The guides are locals who are passionate about their city and love to meet travellers and share what they love about their city.  They are not professional tour guides and do these tours occasionally, which provides an authentic and personal experience that is like having a friend show you around their home city.  Through conversations with your Lokafyer, you’ll learn what it’s like to live in Cardiff learn about cultural differences, local events and politics and also get to know each other on a personal level. With this experience, you won’t be just passing through the city`, you’ll be part of it.

We had a tour guide with Tony in Cardiff and we loved it and him! A man who knows his city inside and out with lots of secrets - plus he had passion and cared that we really enjoyed it. He truly knows what serving is! A gem of a man and a gem of a city!

Gillian, a lovely local lady, picked me up at my hotel on time. We strolled through the city. She showed me many gems I would have not discovered on my own. Gillian has a broad knowledge on Welsh culture, history and cuisine. Gillian also added some extra-time as she wanted to show me everything I was interested in. She also gave me amazing recommendations for other activities and restaurants. I would absolutely book with Gillian again. Thank you and until next time! Cheers, Thomas

Darren was exactly the guy for this trip. Very knowledgeable and helpful for my purposes to learn about life in Cardiff. Even though the weather was terrible, we made the most of it seeing the sites and even sharing some coffee and a meal when the weather got really bad. Highly recommended.
