FAQs

  • SoloTrvlr connects independent travelers with verified Local Advisors for personalized travel advice they can trust. Think of us as your direct line to someone who truly knows where you’re going—and wants to help you explore it like a local.

  • Because no guidebook or travel blog can match real, honest, and up-to-date advice from someone who knows the destination intimately and puts your interests first. Just one consultation with a Local Advisor will save you hours of pre-trip angst and research time and give you all the confidence you need to hit the ground running.

  • Every booking gives you 1 hour of direct access to a verified Local Advisor in a private, 1:1 WhatsApp chat.

    She’ll answer any questions you have and equip you with actionable advice to make you feel prepared and in control. She’ll also provide candid recommendations for places she visits regularly—not just tourist hotspots—and share up-to-the-minute local insights that only someone who really knows a place can offer.

    After your chat, you’ll receive a personalized Field Guide + Map with all of your Advisor’s recommendations to download and take with you.

  • Your Local Advisor receives the majority—75%—of the fee. The rest helps fund SoloTrvlr’s all-woman team behind the scenes. Since we only make money when our Local Advisors do, we’re focused on quality and your experience, not advertising or metrics like “pageviews.”

How it Works

Choose your destination.

Book a consultation.

Get 1:1 support.

  • Advisor consultations happen in a private 1:1 WhatsApp chat, facilitated by SoloTrvlr. You’ll be added to a chat by our SoloTrvlr number (+44 7457 411378) up to five days before your scheduled consultation. Your Local Advisor will join the chat at the scheduled time, ready to help.

    From there, it’s all about you—ask questions, get advice, and discuss whatever you need for your trip. There’s no set structure; the session is completely collaborative and tailored to your travel plans and interests.

    Once your hour is up, the chat will close. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a personalized Field Guide + Map featuring all the intel and recommendations from your session, plus a few extra tips from your Local Advisor.

    Have more questions afterward? Just DM us on WhatsApp and we’ll help you book additional time.

    If your privacy settings block group chat invites from unknown numbers, you'll need to save our number (+44 7457 411378) to your contacts or receive our invite via WhatsApp DM.

  • WhatsApp is the world’s #1 messaging app, with built-in privacy features to ensure the conversation stays between you and your Advisor—so you really can ask her anything you want without hesitation .

    Texting is an easy way for travelers and Advisors to connect while juggling busy lives. And the best part? No one has to put on makeup or dress up to have a chat!

    Rest assured: We monitor every consultation to ensure everything runs smoothly—so if something goes sideways, we’ll jump in quickly to make things right.

  • We recommend thinking about the topics or questions you want to cover to make the most of your 1-hour session.

    We'll send you a brief form by WhatsApp up to five days before your scheduled chat to spark ideas and capture key trip logistics, questions, and goals. Once complete, we'll pass your answers to your Local Advisor to help her prepare. 

    If your privacy settings block group chat invites from unknown numbers, you'll also need to save our number (+44 7457 411378) to your WhatsApp contacts or accept our invite via WhatsApp DM.

  • All consultation times are displayed in your local time zone, even if an Advisor lives in a different country from you. 

  • You can ask anything travel-related, from whether (and where) it’s safe to walk alone at night to practicalities like where to buy tampons (and how to ask for them!) Need dining advice? Your Local Advisor will share her go-to neighborhood spots and steer you to a hyper-local Italian cooking class taught by a beloved nonna. She’ll also be quick to jump in and let you know if something you’re considering doing is overrated—and tell you what to do instead.

  • No problem! If you need more time with your Local Advisor, just contact us via WhatsApp or by email and we’ll help you book a follow-up session. 

  • Our Advisors do their best to keep their calendars up to date, however, if you would like to book further in advance (i.e. upcoming months where an Advisor hasn't added her availability yet) or none of the listed times work for you, please email us and we’ll work with you to find an alternate time.

  • Mistakes happen—we get it. If you booked by accident, contact us within 24 hours for a full refund, no questions asked.

    Please keep in mind that our Local Advisors put in significant prep ahead of each session, so any cancellation beyond 24 hours will be dependent upon how much work your advisor has put in.

    However, if you need to reschedule because something came up—like a last-minute prezo or childcare snafu—just DM us on WhatsApp or email us and we’ll get you sorted with a new date and time that works for everyone.
