Locals know their stuff

If you already have a programmed travel itinerary, go ahead, I'm sure it'll be amazing! But, if you are flexible and open to new things, ask a local. They will almost always invite you to their house, offer to take you to a private spot (usually for a price, but, it's worth it!), and show you the real food and home traditions. People, surprisingly, speak English very well and are eager to practice, especially kids!
