Go Ask A Local Reviews 

Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made some good suggestions for changes to our planned trip.

Paolo was terrific and so helpful. He was exactly who I was looking for to help me make decisions about our trip to Apulia. I had already made many plans but Paolo assisted us by answering all of our questions and confirming the reservations and plans we had made prior to our call. He followed up with terrific resources which I look forward to digging into soon to complete the planning process. I look forward to speaking with Paolo again when the trip gets closer. Paolo....Thank you for your expertise !!!

Paolo from Puglia was wonderful in all respects. Far exceeded our expectations! Very knowledgeable and attentive.

An opportunity opened up to spend a week with my daughter on the Cantabrian coast. Normally I spend a lot of time researching what to do (and what to avoid) when planning a trip, but this was a last-minute thing and there was no time. Alfonso provided me with about a month's worth of really great options - and he did it in an hour! He offered unique and valuable insights into what makes the area special, without trying to 'sell' me anything. Alfonso helped me create an experience that my daughter and I will treasure the rest of our lives.

Simone was really eager to answer all our questions; he gave us a LOT of information that I think otherwise we would not have been able to obtain ourselves and was open to helping us beyond the consultation. Well spent money

I decided to try a local expert because I was going somewhere new. I had looked at guidebooks and YouTube videos but was inundated with too much information. Filling out the questionnaire and talking to the expert, I was able to quickly decide on my itinerary. I have advice on hotels, restaurants, and important cultural experiences. I saved time and ended up with a better result. I’m confident that I’ll have a wonderful trip with a minimum of mistakes/wasted time. This was a smart move.

Extremely helpful!

Leonor was simply wonderful. She had taken our exact needs and wishes into account and come up with clear plans based on these. She was very generous with her time and knowledge and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We give her our highest recommendation!

Carola was well prepared for my questions. It was obvious she knew Chile well. She had great suggestions to my loosely planned itinerary. She was knowledgeable about the areas I want to visit. She understood what kind of trip we are wanting and tailored her answers to my questions. It was well worth the price for an hour of her time. Will definitely reach out again closer to the date of our departure for some last minute questions/ advice.

We have a trip planned to Umbria in September. I usually do a lot of research in advance. Marco was amazing - the level of detail, excellent recommendations, and answered all of my questions. He made super recommendations and had obviously read our pre-consult survey in advance and therefore made excellent use of my time.

Laura was exceptional, she had great knowledge of the area, was extremely nice and helpful!

Maria was a wealth of information and wonderful to chat with! We've always self researched our travel but her help has not only given us a big headstart on the process, it's given us many possiblites to explore that we'd likely never have found on our own. Well worth the small investment, thanks so much!

Laura has been so great to work with in planning my trip to Colombia. I wish I'd made the appointment before I spent many hours on this myself. She’s got the inside scoop so tap into it :)

We spoke with Primož pertaining to travel in Croatia. His knowledge of the area and honest feedback on what we could cover in our travel window was very helpful. Primož has almost convinced me to extend our stay in that area with the variety of things we'll be able to see.

We are unfortunately very unhappy with the service. It's a total ripoff. The guide shared less than what first 3 links show up when you google Slovenia. Was very unprepared, hadn't read the form at all after us putting effort into filling and sharing details on the form. He wasn't interested / passionate about the job clearly. Its the worst itiernary planning I've had in my years of traveling. Pls SAVE your time and money and instead use chat GPT or google and you will get plenty more than what they share. Do not waste any time / money here. We felt unexcited for the trip after this call so it dampens your energy instead of building it. HORRIBLE service!

Highly recommend Ask A Local. My experience exceeded my expectations. Andrés helped plan an Iceland trip. He’s knowledgeable and polite. He answered all of my questions and provided an itinerary, lodging accommodations and followed up.

Nico, was absolutely great. He was clearly interested, invested, and took interest in our adventure planning.

Alfonso was wonderful! Within a day of contacting him, we had an hour long zoom call with him. Loads of information streamed our way with Alfonso brining up pictures and maps to help us create a very workable route through Spain. He clarified and confirmed many concerns we had and we feel so much better about planning on own trip!

We are planning a trip to Iceland later this year and had a pretty good outline of what we wanted to do but I wanted an expert to make sure we did not miss anything. Never heard of "Go Ask a Local" but found them on the internet and gave it a try. We spoke with Andres for 1 hour and he was sooo helpful. The cost of $150 was well worth it!! Not only would I use this company again, I have already recommended it to several friends. We had one hiccup which actually solidified my comfort with this company. The call was supposed to be last Friday and Andres never showed up for the Zoom. I sent an email to Go Ask a Local and Abe immediately responded saying they would refund my money or they could set up another meeting. They told me Andres was having internet issues which I understood. Abe then sent me the confirmation email for the new meeting time and left me a voice mail then followed up again. This was Platinum level service and so appreciated!

Paolo was absolutely wonderful; professional, insightful, and generous with very useful information that will be immensely helpful on our vacation. I think this is a brilliant idea and everyone should support their travels by booking a call!

Fantastic experience! I filled out the preform questioner with all of my questions and open ended items. It was clear the guide read through them and came prepared to our call with answers! He was very professional, fully understood what I wanted to do and gave me great recommendations. I saved a ton of time not endlessly searching but having a much clearer direction after our call. I wouldn't have known about a lot of things he mentioned so the call was truly invaluable. I would absolutely use this service again and definitely recommend it to anyone!!
