Real Reviews by Real People
Just his week I wrote about my desire to travel to London, as well as take the time to see home of the English countryside. I’m the first to admit that I have no idea where to begin and I will rely heavily on online reviews, tour books, and recommendations from friends. I want to see as much as possible in whatever time I will have and I won’t want to spend that time wandering aimlessly.
A handy source of said information is the Trustedplaces web site. The reason I am drawn to Trusted Place is that you don’t just read reviews posted by professional travel critics or someone who was bribed into giving a good or bad review; you read comments and experiences by real people. They even want YOU to contribute reviews.
I’ve been poking around to find some good input about the London bar scene and the best places to eat local dishes that are actually palatable. And although Trusted Places is based in and primarily focused on London, there are reviews contributed by real people all over the world to give you solid recommendations for almost any of the world’s major cities.
I have a couple of friends over in London, but not so many that I don’t need others to help me out with where to go and what to see. Using this site feels a little like e-mailing your closest friends and asking, “Where to?”
