“Rosa gave us off-the-beaten-track recommendations for Puglia that we never would have found online. Exactly what we were looking for.”

fabienne
Toulouse, Bordeaux +1
5.0(4)Hello, my name is Fabienne, and I like to introduce myself as a Parisian. However, most of my family lives in Bordeaux, and my home is near Toulouse. That is why I have a deep knowledge of these three cities. I am a historian and a licensed professional guide. I have guided tours all over Europe and even beyond. I have been living abroad for the past 25 years, which I believe gives me both an insider’s and an outsider’s perspective on the three cities I am eager to share with you!

Kamila
Milan, Como
New
Ciao! My name is Kamila and I am a Milanese local and enthusiast since 2022. Originally I come from Poland. I came to Milan for my Bachelor's study and I've decided to stay and start my life here. Since the very first day, I fell in love with the city, its vivid character, warm people, beautiful and scenic areas. I'm glad I can share my passion and reccommendations here (including hidden gems).

Miriam
Naples, Sorrento +3
5.0(5)Hi, I’m Miriam! With a soul split between Lake Garda and Naples, I’m probably the most "all-around" Italian guide you’ll find. I’ve spent 3+ years showing the secrets of Naples to curious travelers. As a singer-songwriter who started performing on these very streets as a child, I know every corner of this city like the back of my hand. I combine my passion for music and local cuisine to create authentic itineraries. Want to discover the true heart of Neapolitan culture? Let’s explore together!

Lucrezia
Bologna, Modena +4
New
Ciao! I’m Lucrezia, a student from Northern Italy and with a big passion for travelling and discovering new cultures. While I've explored different parts of the world, my heart always brings me back to Italy - its landscape, traditions and food. I have a deep love for nature, the outdoors, and sports, but I also enjoy good food and the small pleasures of everyday life. From scenic hikes and peaceful walks, to local cafés and hidden gems, I love sharing authentic experiences that make you feel truly connected to a place. Travelling with awareness and respect for the places you visit is something I deeply value, and I’d love to be your local reference to experience Italy in that same mindful and genuine way.

“I booked a 45-minute call with Riccardo straight from his profile. Within minutes he had cut through the noise and given me a real plan.”

“Mike was funny, interesting, and gave us so much context for our trip to Rome. The kind of advice you only get from someone who actually lives there.”

Things travellers ask.
Still curious? Email us at support@thevoyage.co We read everything!
No, and this is an important distinction. Our locals develop plans based on advice, recommendations and tips. What you do with that information is entirely up to you.
Some may be able to, so it's worth specifying this when you share your trip. Others may suggest areas to stay in but won't provide direct links to specific hotels or accommodation. If accommodation guidance is important to you, say so upfront.
Sharing your trip is free. Locals reply with personalised quotes. Most custom plans sit between $80 and $250, depending on trip length and the type of service you need. Locals may also propose optional add-ons.
Most travellers get quotes within 48 hours. If you're travelling in the next two weeks, mention it when you share your trip. Locals can usually respond same-day.
It all depends on the type of help you need. If you just need tips, it might be a video call. If you want a full plan, the local will provide a detailed document with recommendations pinned on a map, including practical advice on accommodation, transport, weather, and cultural considerations.
Not in the traditional sense, which is exactly the point. They're vetted residents: chefs, designers, journalists, art historians who all have a passion for helping people enjoy their city like a local. Some are professional guides, others are purely passionate about crafting great experiences. Each one is interviewed before joining.
An open mind and a detailed trip overview. The more context you give, the better a local can judge whether they're the right fit for your trip. You should also be open to joining a short video call with them as a check-in or plan review.
You can mention that when you share your trip. The local might then propose a 45-minute travel consultation instead, where you can ask questions and get tailored advice in a single call.
You can browse all our locals and book in directly with them based on their availability. Review their profile and find the right fit for your destination.
Yes. Direct chat stays open before, during, and after your trip. Many travellers use it for last-minute restaurant bookings or quick questions while they're on the ground.
