The local guide means more to me than giving ratings and reviews, it comes with the satisfaction of having helped someone who really needed to know about a place before making their decision.
There is a feeling a comradery.
Trying out new places can be a little bit unsettling - you don’t know what to expect and you certainly don’t want to look like an outcast-.
Google Local Guides provides a platform where you can ask questions and get insights you will normally not see on an organization’s website or their FAQ’s like 'how expensive is this place?, is it wheelchair accessible?, is it a family place? And so on.
To bea part of this community who help others discover and explore new places is one of the most fulfilling experience ever!.
