1. Our offering

We connect you with locals to experience cities through the eyes of the people who live there.

Lokafy is an online platform for travellers seeking to learn more about a city by meeting with a local (Lokafyer) who shares his/her knowledge and experience of the city. Lokafy experiences can include walking tours to sharing a meal. Through our website, travellers can book Lokafy experiences in Toronto and Paris.

3. Reservations

When making a reservation, you pay the full amount in advance. The payment can be made upon submitting the experience request or in case of payment processing errors, it can be made at a later date.

Lokafy retains the full tour payment until after the tour has been completed in a satisfactory manner, at which point the Lokafyer’s portion of the payment is paid to him/her. As a traveller, no additional payments are mandatory except in cases where additional items are purchased for the traveller (example: museum entrance tickets purchased in advance).
