Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The organizer cancelled the tour at short notice (14 hours before!!). He claimed that he had not been able to get a German-speaking guide. And more worse, he could not offer an English-speaking replacement either!! I booked 4 weeks in advance and only came to Dublin because of this! My advice: Book another provider…

We just didn't do the tour. At 4pm appointed time, we were waiting in the hotel lobby as written (punctuality is recommended).
But nobody shows up. Written on WhatsApp to Raquel of which we had been sent contact... No Response. We call and he tells me he's still in the car and it'll take half an hour.. But we can tour comfortably tomorrow...
Now two things:
In Dublin the monuments the churches etc at 6 close... So the delay was unacceptable and our 4 hours would be of no use.
The next day we obviously had other reservations, staying here 3 days we set everything up.
And now? Tour already paid through agency...
But it's not that. It is that certain and happy, given the few days, to invest in a private tour that accompanied us to see everything knowing the routes we did not organize the routes. So we had to rush information and roads to see everything.
I don't know this company, but I'm telling you... Choose people better. From a private and personalized tour you expect at least... Let there be.

We had Elisabeth as our guide through Dublin city. She did an amazing job. Took us all around, in our 3 hours together we were able to get well aquatinted with the city, see many of the sites plus more we didn’t even know about all while learning more about the history of Ireland and interesting facts about the city. Elisabeth also gave us lots of good advice for good places to eat, drink and shop. It was an excellent experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough. This was my 3rd Lokafy tour and I plan to take one in any city I visit in the future!
