LOCAL PICKSGUIDE

Sample

Read a real guide before you pay for one.

Most trip-planning services want money before you can see what you'd get. This is the opposite: a page from a guide we actually built, in full, right here — and the whole 4-tier product costs from $29 once, not per day.

A page from a real guide

The number is our local-favourite ranking — it is not a star average. That is the whole methodological difference: we read what people write rather than average what they rate.

What the full sample contains

A Glacier National Park road trip, 14 days, built for a family of four. Every page of a real guide — the summary itinerary, the day-by-day, the picks, the tourist traps named, the booking dates. A composite traveller; the destination research is real.

The second page is the one that earns its keep: a one-page Summary Itinerary built to be screenshotted and glanced at on a phone with no signal — day-by-day in one line each, your top picks, the reservations with their booking deadlines, and the handful of things that ruin a trip if you miss them.

  • Built around your questionnaire — your pace, your food, your people
  • A one-page Summary Itinerary you can screenshot and use with no signal
  • Day-by-day spine for your real dates
  • Every pick opens in Google Maps with one tap
  • Know-before-you-go: the things that ruin a trip if you miss them
  • Reservations you need, and the date you need to book each by
  • Print-ready PDF
  • Built for everyone travelling with you, not just one person
  • One free rebuild if it isn't right
  • A real reply address on the last page — a person answers
Every page, no email required

Read the full sample guide (PDF) — it opens in your browser. It is the fastest way to know whether this is worth $29 to you, and it beats anything we could write about ourselves.

The Whitefish and Glacier picks from this sample are also readable as a web page: coffee, food, things to do and Glacier National Park ranked by payoff.

The other half of the answer is the form. Every question we ask is published in full — all of them, before you pay for anything.

Standard turnaround on your own guide is 48-72 hours.

We'd like to build one free general guide, and we'd rather the people who'd use it chose the city than we guessed. Vote below and leave your email: you'll get the sample guide as soon as you confirm, and your vote is counted. We don't send a newsletter yet, and one tap unsubscribes.
