Travel Like a Local

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The saying dates back to 387 A.D. when St. Augustine arrived in Milan and observed that the church did not fast on Sundays as it did in Rome.

And it still rings true. Sometimes your favorite memory from a vacation is that great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that a friendly local stranger told you about or that local market where you grabbed a cool keepsake without the tourist markup. At NileGuide, we strive to accomplish just that, and our local experts give you the inside scoop on the must-see and off the beaten path recommendations in their home destinations so you won’t miss a thing.

Another great source for street-level intel? Spotted by Locals, a network of city blogs that offers travelers up-to-date, local information on hot restaurants, shops, museums and more. Much like NileGuide local experts, Spotted by Locals’ “spotters” are hand-picked and they write about their favorite spots in their home cities. From eats on the cheap in Barcelona to coffee and jeans in Copenhagen, travelers can get personal and genuinely local tips straight from the source.

Check them out. They’re fresh off of a victory in the Lonely Planet Travel Blogger awards, and currently cover 20 different European cities from Amsterdam to Zagreb.
