Go Ask A LocalReviews of goaskalocal.com

This was my first time using "Go Ask a Local ", and if all the "locals" that are a part of this group are as good as Paolo, then I am going to be thrilled that I found this service. Paolo was outstanding. He was friendly and had a good sense of humour, he is very knowledgeable about his area of expertise, he was good with me recording our zoom session so I could refer back and right after our call, he sent me links to all the places we talked about, and links to interactive maps he has created. This info, even without the pleasure of a 1 hour zoom call with Paolo, was worth the fee. If you are going to be in Puglia, then I strongly suggest that you start your planning by spending an hour with Paolo on a Zoom call. It will be the best $125 you spent on your adventure.

We are delighted to have found Paolo- a Local expert on Puglia! In the hour we spent on Zoom, he answered all our questions and provided exceptional local insight to take our trip to the next level. Zoom enabled him to screen share and actually show us some of the places we are considering. Being seasoned travelers, we recognize a wonderful 5* guide. Thank you, Paolo!

Stefano Mazzantini was wonderful! He shared so much valuable information that we are now confident in completing our travel plans to Italy in April of this year. Besides his knowledge and experience Stefano possesses an awesome personality allowing for a fun hour of exchanging information.

Found the site online as I was researching to plan an upcoming trip to Puglia. Great info online. And although I am an experienced traveler and had devised my own itinerary on previous trips in France as well as Italy, Puglia seemed like it required a little more planning to avoid driving long distances and also because there is so much to see and do.I decided to schedule a consultation. Paolo was great, knowledgeable, helpful, and really nice. He had prepared by looking at the questionnaire and was able to give me advice and two itinerary options tailored to our interests and time. It was really worth it because he helped me make changes to the itinerary I had come up with. I think that alone probably saved us lots of time and driving. Of course, he also advised us on things we did not come across through researching online and provided helpful recommendations for hotels and restaurants. A really valuable resource. I will certainly be using it in the future.

Booking a consultation with a local was a brilliant idea even for avid and experienced travelers. My consultation with Paolo about my Puglia itinerary was a fantastic and helpful experience. He had done his homework reading my questionnaire so knew where I was coming from. He had great ideas and helped me make a big change in my itinerary that I am very grateful for. His knowledge of the area, the restaurants, where to go off the beaten track, were very helpful and greatly appreciated. Such a no brainer experience and I love this concept and plan on using Go ask a Local in the future. So much more informative and interesting then travel guides that are so generic.

Paolo was excellent. He gave us an awesome itinerary to follow. He was great at answering our questions. Told us where to stop and kept us away from the over touristy sites. I highly recommend using him.

Jorge was very knowledgeable and helped us make our plans for Costa Rica. He had several suggestions that we hadn't seen in any of our books on Costa Rica. I highly recommend him.

Terrific opportunity to ensure your once-in-a-lifetime trip is just that! Our family travel group of five ranged in age from 80+ downwards, and it was clear our local Argentine consultant Maria had put in a lot of thought on how to meet everyone's needs ahead of our consultation. The ease with which we were able to connect with a local expert to help us finetune our itinerary for Buenos Aires, and the extremely client-focused approach of both Maria and Go Ask a Local was evident at every stage of the process. Go Ask a Local gets five stars and two thumbs up from us; we'll be using them wherever possible in future!
