The most interesting thing I've done as a Local Guide : Suggesting edits

Apart from exploring places, adding pictures and videos, and sharing experiences of the places as a review, i love to suggest edits of the places like timings, exact location, roads, contact number, email details wherever i travel that is helpful for all.

Basilica of our Lady of Graces : This was happened with me in the month of March, Last year i.e. 2019, I’m a keen Architectural Heritage and History lover, so last year i decided to visit a church (Basilica of our Lady of Graces) in a village of Sardhana , Merrut in India, which is around 200 years old with strong architectural and historical background. I read about it from a heritage book that make me to go there, I searched it on maps and it was not so far from my home so went there, unfortunately it was closed just 10 min. before i reached , they said timings were changed from last 2 months and i didn’t saw any contact number also on the maps, a group of people also visited and faced the same problem of timings, i met and we spent some time and decided to visit tomorrow together , I guide them to a nearest hotel to stay for a night, then on the next day i visited there with that group and then i thought just like me and that bunch of people faced problem who came from a long distance with the timings i asked exact timings according to days and contact number of the care taker and suggest an edits on the maps of it. I also attached pictures when i visited on the first day and reached at wrong timings and inside pictures of next day with new people.

So this will be really helpful for someone else to go to place in time and can contact there for further details :slightly_smiling_face:

and that’s applicable for every place i visit, if it need some changes i definitely do

That’s one of the major roles that a local guide should follow .
