“Waaaay better than Lonely Planet!”

Normally, I use the Lonely Planet guide to find local-ish suggestions, but finding your guides was definitely waaaay better! So I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible job you’re doing! You’re precious picky locals.

“Local friend in your pocket”

I only discovered HandPicked halfway through my trip – and I was genuinely annoyed with myself. Their beautifully designed flyers were packed with local tips and places I’d never have found on my own. Next time I’m in Iceland, I’ll plan my whole trip around their recommendations – it’s the closest thing to having a local friend in your pocket.

“It never let us down”

We fell in love with the HandPicked guides the first time we saw it. Oftentimes, we went out of our way to find one of the places listed in the brochure because it never let us down.
