Puglia, Go Ask a Local and Paola - OUTSTANDINGng "Go Ask a… This was my first time using "Go Ask a Local ", and if all the "locals" that are a part of this group are as good as Paolo, then I am going to be thrilled that I found this service. Paolo was outstanding. He was friendly and had a good sense of humour, he is very knowledgeable about his area of expertise, he was good with me recording our zoom session so I could refer back and right after our call, he sent me links to all the places we talked about, and links to interactive maps he has created. This info, even without the pleasure of a 1 hour zoom call with Paolo, was worth the fee. If you are going to be in Puglia, then I strongly suggest that you start your planning by spending an hour with Paolo on a Zoom call. It will be the best $125 you spent on your adventure.

Our guide for Sardinia Our guide for Sardinia, Simone Scalas, was excellent. Not only had he figured out who we were in terms of our preferences from the questionnaire, he was able to tailor a do-able itinerary which included most of what we would have liked. His extraordinary in-depth knowledge of roads and restaurants and beaches and sites to see gave us textured detail that would have been impossible for us to get on our own. He saved us hours of research and gave us the peace of mind that his plan would make the trip unforgettable.

Great consultation with Paolo to plan Puglia itinerary Found the site online as I was researching to plan an upcoming trip to Puglia. Great info online. And although I am an experienced traveler and had devised my own itinerary on previous trips in France as well as Italy, Puglia seemed like it required a little more planning to avoid driving long distances and also because there is so much to see and do.I decided to schedule a consultation. Paolo was great, knowledgeable, helpful, and really nice. He had prepared by looking at the questionnaire and was able to give me advice and two itinerary options tailored to our interests and time. It was really worth it because he helped me make changes to the itinerary I had come up with. I think that alone probably saved us lots of time and driving. Of course, he also advised us on things we did not come across through researching online and provided helpful recommendations for hotels and restaurants. A really valuable resource. I will certainly be using it in the future.

The information provided was surpassed our expectations Stefano Mazzantini was wonderful! He shared so much valuable information that we are now confident in completing our travel plans to Italy in April of this year. Besides his knowledge and experience Stefano possesses an awesome personality allowing for a fun hour of exchanging information.

Our conversation with Paolo was very enjoyable Our conversation with Paolo was fantastic. I normally plan all of our trips and it is a welcome choice to work with someone who knows an area of Italy we have never been to. Paolo took the information we gave before our call and was prepared with information we requested and was right on the money with things we would like to see. With Paolo's help, I will fully be able to enjoy a vacation without having to worry about all the little details. I highly recommend!
