Go Ask A LocalReviews of goaskalocal.com

Great experience working with a team in Chile. Exceeded my expectations on what a travel consultant could provide. I had to cancel my original meeting due to a scheduling conflict and they were able to get me in quickly with another expert. He was so helpful in creating an itinerary that worked with our time frame. We only have a week and there’s a lot to see and do in Chile. He helped create a fantastic itinerary, navigating so many details. Looking forward to our adventure!!

Primoz is a fantastic Slovenian travel consultant. His breadth of knowledge is terrific and he quickly matched out travel desires with a great itinerary. His enthusiasm truly spills over.

Chris was very persoanable, easy to speak with and very knowledgable. He gave me alot of great options and great explanation for my questions.

I am posting this review to highlight the rigid cancellation policy of Go Ask A Local, so other travelers are aware before booking. I recently traveled to Portugal with my sons and booked a private tour (~$900) for the last day of our two-week trip. Unfortunately, soon after arriving, we received news of a close family member’s unexpected passing and had to return home immediately. We notified the company 10 days before the scheduled tour to request a cancellation due to these circumstances. Go Ask A Local responded that our request was "well within the 14-day cancellation deadline" and that they do not make exceptions to their non-refundable policy. While I understand that their position is legally justified, I found it disappointing that, given the situation and timing, the company would not consider any concessions. The lack of empathy was notable. The cost of the tour included variable expenses—such as vehicle use, gasoline, boat tickets, and wine tasting fees—that were not incurred since the trip did not take place. There was also the possibility of the guide being rebooked. Even a partial refund would have been a reasonable gesture. If you book with Go Ask A Local, be aware that there is no flexibility in their cancellation policy. Plan accordingly based on your risk tolerance and needs.

I had never used go ask a local but wanted to try something different than a full travel agency and felt comfortable after reading the positive reviews. I had my consultation with Nicho who gave me great advice for my upcoming trip to Peru. From building different itineraries to tips on my specific interests (like great restaurants in the areas I’ll be visiting) I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would definitely recommend for anyone planning an International trip!

Leonor was super nice and very informative. We really enjoyed the Gastronomy tour and her company. The food was great and she gave great recommendations! I would highly recommend her.

We had already done research about our trip and had an itinerary in mind. We were looking for a bit extra in terms of recommendations for places to eat or specific tour operators or activities. If we hadn't done any planning at all this may have been useful, but as it was we got very little we didn't already know. Not worth the money sadly, I won't try again.

My conversation with Dania was incredibly helpful. I was drowning in online info and reviews as I began to plan my first trip to Italy. I'm so happy I stumbled upon Go Ask A Local - talking to Dania helped me really focus on what I wanted for the trip and specific options on how to make the most of it. She could talk about all areas and give me the pros/cons of different places. Tapping into her expertise has made me feel more confident and excited about the trip. Highly recommend!
