Frequently Asked Questions

Is Localo really free?
Yes! Downloading the app and browsing local profiles are 100% free.
How do you verify locals?
Every local is verified through a live selfie (liveness check) and a precise location check. Bad actors are immediately removed based on reviews.
What if I don't like the local I matched with?
You have full control! Chat before you travel to make sure you vibe. You're never obligated to meet. If you change your mind, just politely decline or unmatch. No pressure, no commitment.
Do locals expect payment?
No! Localo is for making friends, not hiring tour guides. Locals join because they love meeting travelers and showing off their city. It's a cultural exchange, not a transaction. Just split costs (like coffee or meals) like you would with any friend.
