Planning for Puglia

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

Puglia Go Ask a Local and Paola - OUTSTANDINGng Go Ask a

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

I Love Go Ask A Local

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

Consult will make our trip to Umbria a joy

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

If you want to really know where to go what to see book a consultation You will be thrilled with all the information you receive

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

Dania was very open and comfortable to

Dania was very open and comfortable to chat with Provided some good spots to visit and provided local contacts in villages Was informative with restaurants and non tourist locations Will definitely use the service again

Pick Puglia and Pick Paolo

Going to Italy first time or again Consider PUGLIA And get input from PAOLO -- no matter where you are in planning or refining he should be your next contact Also - make a side step to Montescaglioso and enjoy a meal there

A trip to Croatia

We are working on a trip to Croatia and had a call this AM with Primoz He read all the details about what we wanted to do and we have a draft itinerary for our trip worked out I highly recommended Go Ask a Local as this is the 2nd guide we talked to 1st was to work on Sardinia Both have been great and work hard to help you with your trip

An hour with Paolo was Well Worth the Investment

An hour with Paolo last week provided us with virtually all the information we will need for the days we will spend in the Puglia region of Italy He walked me day by day through our schedule and made great recommendations about what to do and what not to do Since Paolo resides in the area he was able to give several restaurant suggestions for lunch and dinner Paolo is a personable guy who was responsive to all of my questions Following our session he sent a personalized interactive map of the region which highlighted things we discussed during our Zoom session The hour session is well worth the charge and also eliminates hours of searching online looking for travel recommendations Last week s session was the second time I have used Go Ask a Local and I am sure I will make it a third later this year Thank you Paolo for your time and effort
