“Rosa gave us off-the-beaten-track recommendations for Puglia that we never would have found online. Exactly what we were looking for.”

Tommaso
Palermo, Taormina +3
5.0(2)I’m a licensed local guide based in Sicily, and I love helping travelers experience this island beyond the postcard version. For me, Sicily is not just a place of famous monuments and beautiful coastlines, but a living culture shaped by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and generations of proud locals. I enjoy introducing visitors to the Sicily I know and love: lively markets, layered history, unforgettable food, and the small everyday details that make a place feel real. I have guided travelers from around the world and always try to combine solid historical insight with a relaxed, personal approach. My goal is to help people slow down, connect with the local culture, and feel at home while discovering one of Europe’s richest and most fascinating islands.

5.0(1)Hi there! My name is Valentina, I am an art historian, wine scholar and I come from south Sardinia, I currently live in Cagliari. I love traditions, my culture, I love exploring the mountains as much as sunbathing on white beaches. I like food and everything behind it, folklore and traditional dresses. My goal is to tell my island, my land, with all the love and passion possible, to show a Sardinia that is not very touristy but also its grandeur and uniqueness.

5.0(1)I’m a Professional Tour Guide based in the Veneto region, and I help travelers design meaningful journeys through Venice and Northern Italy. I know this region not only through study, but through years of living and working here. From the canals of Venice and its lagoon to historic cities, elegant villas, and the landscapes of the Venetian countryside, I help travelers experience the area beyond the usual tourist paths. My goal is to create itineraries that feel natural, well paced, and rich in authentic experiences. I love suggesting special places, local restaurants, scenic routes, and encounters that reveal the true character of the region.

“Mike was funny, interesting, and gave us so much context for our trip to Rome. The kind of advice you only get from someone who actually lives there.”

No, and this is an important distinction. Our locals develop plans based on advice, recommendations and tips. What you do with that information is entirely up to you.
Some may be able to, so it's worth specifying this when you share your trip. Others may suggest areas to stay in but won't provide direct links to specific hotels or accommodation. If accommodation guidance is important to you, say so upfront.
Sharing your trip is free. Locals reply with personalised quotes. Most custom plans sit between $80 and $250, depending on trip length and the type of service you need. Locals may also propose optional add-ons.
Most travellers get quotes within 48 hours. If you're travelling in the next two weeks, mention it when you share your trip. Locals can usually respond same-day.
It all depends on the type of help you need. If you just need tips, it might be a video call. If you want a full plan, the local will provide a detailed document with recommendations pinned on a map, including practical advice on accommodation, transport, weather, and cultural considerations.
Not in the traditional sense, which is exactly the point. They're vetted residents: chefs, designers, journalists, art historians who all have a passion for helping people enjoy their city like a local. Some are professional guides, others are purely passionate about crafting great experiences. Each one is interviewed before joining.
An open mind and a detailed trip overview. The more context you give, the better a local can judge whether they're the right fit for your trip. You should also be open to joining a short video call with them as a check-in or plan review.
You can mention that when you share your trip. The local might then propose a 45-minute travel consultation instead, where you can ask questions and get tailored advice in a single call.
You can browse all our locals and book in directly with them based on their availability. Review their profile and find the right fit for your destination.
Yes. Direct chat stays open before, during, and after your trip. Many travellers use it for last-minute restaurant bookings or quick questions while they're on the ground.
