A note from Pam
"Hi Everyone, I'm Pam. Originally from Chile, I went to an international school, so I grew up playing with friends from all over the world. This cultural interaction in those early years of my life made me realize the wonderful amount of beliefs, flavours, languages and cultures that exsist on our planet.
By the time I was old enough to travel on my own, I realized I lived in the last country in the world, in the Finis Terrae, about to fall off the globe, making any trip crazy expensive and long. So during my youth, I was very lucky to travel through Mexico, Cuba, USA, do many trips through Chile and many other countries within America. The more I travelled, the more I wanted to see, experience and learn.
Almost 20 years ago I decided to look for a new experience and I moved to Berlin, Germany. I had to learn a new and very difficult language and survive my first really cold winter, but besides the language challenge and the bad weather, my life just fell into place.

Berlin is such an amazing city, full of my favourite history (the XX´s century), with all its changes, wars, walls and curtains, destruction, reconstructions and reunification. It was my love for Berlin that took me to become a local guide and I have been guiding in Berlin for over 16 years.
In 2015 I teamed up with a wonderful friend and created a private guiding company in Berlin which we have successfully managed since the very beginning. Looking for new experiences, some 7 years ago I started travelling with groups through Germany, Austria and soon after Spain.
I love designing and organizing tours and trips for individuals, families and small groups.
My motto is "excellence is never an accident“, so I carefully look for ultimate experiences and unique local activities to help travellers experience the culture, foods and drinks, the music, architecture, nature and more!
I'm excited to help you plan your dream holiday to Germany!"

What you can get done in an hour depends on your goals for the consultation and how organized you are coming into it.
In most cases, an hour is ample time to create a solid itinerary, answer your major travel questions, get practical advice on how to travel in your destination, and discuss lots of great local tips and recommendations.
To ensure that the hour is used efficiently, when you schedule your call, our pre-consultation questionnaire will ask you what your primary goals for the consultation are. Prior to the call, your Local Expert will review your questionnaire and prepare detailed information addressing those goals.
They’ll come into the call ready to share specific advice, recommendations, itinerary ideas/revisions, and useful links and resources for you to review together.
-
Yes! Each consultation is guided by a comprehensive pre-consultation questionnaire that you fill out immediately upon booking.
We’ll ask you a series of 30+ detailed questions that really dig into you, your trip, your interests and travel style, and what you want to discuss with your Local Expert.
The questionnaire will cover things like: the dynamics of your group, the things you enjoy while traveling, your budget, how early you want to start your day and how late you want to end it, whether you want to hit the highlights or roam the back streets, and even what types of restaurants you want to eat at.
Your Local Expert will focus only on your interests and travel style.
-
Our Local Experts are seasoned travel professionals who have spent decades working in their countries/regions. While their personal interests may be different from yours, they’ve worked with thousands of travelers and have recommendations and advice for every type of individual.
They know their destinations in-depth and can help plan a trip for every traveler and taste.
-
No. Our service is geared toward independent, do-it-yourself travelers who intend to make bookings on their own.
Our goal is not to plan your trip for you, but rather to help you plan a better trip independently. To that end, our Local Experts will give you all of the information that you need to confidently put your trip together yourself.
When Local Experts recommend things like restaurants, hotels, excursions/activities, tours, drivers, etc., they’ll provide you with contact details and links so that you can make the final arrangements on your own.
-
Almost every Go Ask A Local expert has at least 10 years of professional travel experience as a guide or trip planner in their country/region.
We work with a vetted team of seasoned professionals who know their destinations inside and out.
Unlike other companies, when you book a call, you’ll always be connected directly with your chosen Local Expert. We never pass anyone on to a junior sales associate or some anonymous back office team. With us, what you see is what you get.
