Local guides program is a way to experience any city in the world from the eyes of a local resident. I have used this to share insights about places I visit frequently, my experiences and valuable tips for others. However, I experienced the magic of this program on my recent trip to Allahabad (Prayagraj).
As a tourist visiting the new city, I could get personal recommendations from local guides in the area for places to visit. The detailed reviews with pictures were super helpful. We tried many local delicacies including Dahi Jalebi and Kachori.
I was also able to find saree shops that locals visit and get a nice gift for my wife.
And thanks to these great finds, it became one of the most fun and memorable trips for us.
To me, local guides program is a secret weapon to plan impromptu trips, impress my family and make friends across the world.
