Spotted by Locals is a publisher of a series of travel guides (apps & blogs) with up to date tips curated by handpicked locals in 60+ cities in Europe and North America.

Contents

The city guides are curated by "Spotters" - people who live in the city they write about and speak the local language. All Spotters are selected by founders Sanne & Bart van Poll.

Spotted by Locals is aimed at travelers who want local information about a city, and who want to avoid the typical tourist spots.

Access to travel information from locals is gaining popularity amongst travelers and travel organizations like Lonely Planet. In 2010, Spotted by Locals was one of the co-founders of LocalTravelMovement.com, a not-for-profit responsible travel website and discussion platform aiming to unite companies who commit to operating with Local Travel values.

The Spotted by Locals concept has received coverage on BBC World, and in newspapers and magazines like The Guardian, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Le Monde, The Sunday Times, and National Geographic Traveler.

Spotted by Locals has also been mentioned in The Telegraph, Gadling and The Times.
