About Us
Firsthand Wisdom, Not Secondhand Info
Founded in London in 2024, we embrace the knowledge and wisdom of local people.
⭐️ Local People & Connection ⭐️
When it comes to travel planning, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the endless stream of online information. Our mission is to make trip planning more enjoyable, easy and fun by connecting you with the incomparable wisdom of real, local people.
⭐️ Genuine & Authentic ⭐️
You'll find no adverts, endorsements or sponsorships here, and we don't use chat-bots either. Just great recommendations from friendly, local people!
⭐️ Independent Start-up ⭐️
Go So Local isn't backed by any investment firms, hedge funds, private equity groups or incubators. Our team is a mixture of full and part-time locals who provide the hand-made recommendations, itineraries, routes, advice, and more to you.

The Stuff We're Made Of
Find yourself... somewhere new.
Planning a trip should be exciting, but too much choice can lead to decision paralysis. With everyone from businesses to bloggers competing for attention, finding what’s right for you can feel overwhelming. That’s the modern internet.
Add the surge of AI content, bots, and misinformation, and it’s no wonder planning gets frustrating.
We believe tech should enhance real-life experiences, not replace them. Travel joy isn’t limited to the trip itself; it starts in the planning phase and lives on in the memories you revisit after.
But slowing down is hard. Switching from fast-paced, screen-filled routines to being present in a new place can be a challenge.
That’s where Go So Local comes in. We give you personalized recommendations up-front, and a real local to talk to. So you spend less time scrolling for where to eat, drink, or explore, and more time enjoying the moment, making memories, and truly connecting with the place.
