Insider City Guides

Where to go, and what to skip

Honest, firsthand city guides from places we’ve actually traveled. Every hotel, table, and neighborhood in here earned its spot, so you can skip the research and just go.

Why these are different

Not another list off the internet

Anyone can aggregate a top-ten. These are the places we’d actually send a client, because we’ve been to all of them ourselves.

Only places we’ve been

If we haven’t traveled it, it’s not in here. No affiliate lists, no guessing, no copying someone else’s blog.

What’s worth it, what isn’t

The hotel worth the money and the one that isn’t. The reservation worth booking and the tourist trap right next to it.

Hours of research, done

Everything we’d tell a friend before they go, organized so you can stop spiraling through saved posts and open tabs.

What’s inside

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

  • Where to stay, and where not to
  • Where to eat, from the splurge to the everyday
  • The neighborhoods actually worth your time
  • What to book before you go
  • How to get around like you live there
  • The things no one tells you until you’re already there
