I noticed I take a Local Guide’s review of a business much more seriously when I traveled. I did a solo trip to Portugal and the only way I knew a restaurant was good or not was to open Google Maps and check out the reviews. Although there were great reviews written by tourists (like myself), I wanted to know what the Local Guides had to say. I chose where to eat and buy depending on the locals and I have to say I loved my Portugal experience.

@JWLee that happens to me as well! If I’m traveling I want to spend my time and money on places that are worth it because it may be one in a life experience. Contrary when I’m in my country I know I can try more restaurants or visit more places so that when other people visit they have where to choose from, using the reviews Local Guides like me or you have written.
