1.GeoPeeker is precisely meant to view a site from different geographic locations.
Nice design. Provides screenshots for free from Singapore, Brazil, Ireland, Australia and two US States (Virginia & California).

2. Shotsherpa was built during the True North PHP 2014 Hackathon. It provides 8 screenshots from 8 random cities from a 200+ list. Quite impressive.

Note: Be careful on how your website localization works. None of this tools take into account the default browser language in the location.

3. Locabrowser offers web browsing from multiple locations.
Techy design. Provides browsing (not only screenshots) from 15 diferents countries. Great potential but buggy.

4. Change IP country provides (I guess) access to your websites via webproxies from 32 different countries. Maybe I’m wrong, but it really looks unsafe! (archive.org design doesn’t help). I was in the end redirected to http://eproxy.eu/index.php. Forget about it.

Note: Maybe useful for web front-end developers to use the IP list provided?

BONUS

Websitetest is (one more) free tool to test websites speed and performance. Among various options you can define a specific location in a list of 11 cities to see how your website behave from there.
