The Local Guides program is an essential part of my everyday life now and I love it! The Local Guides program has helped me get my wife and or friends interested and excited on new places, restaurants, museums, etc., to visit, by looking at reviews, pictures, and videos posted by other local guides who generously took the time to post. It’s the best tool to prepare for travel or just a new unknown restaurant visits. It is also a good way of saving photos and video for later remembrance of happy moments, memorable occasions. My wife and I like to cruise, especially the Caribbean, and going back to our posts has helped us to plan our next cruise in a way to avoid repeating islands that we already have visited.

As a retired person who has the time to post, I feel a lot of satisfaction when I get a message about other people visiting my reviews or photos. It makes me go back in time to the place and savor that moment again. It’s a perfect way to give back to the community and help business to keep striving for good service.

The Local Guides program is not only about sharing experiences of visits to business in your local city, it is also about sharing those places that captivated you during your vacation. It is about sharing photos, video and reviews of your favorite beaches, restaurants, museums, etc., when you are away from home on vacation. That is probably the most appealing part of the Local Guides program, as it helps other people to get a glimpse in advance of places to visit away from home, in an island, or other country.

So in short, The Local Guides program is a very important part of my life, and I enjoy it.
