Company Description

Localeur is a global community of locals who help travelers experience local by sharing their favorite local places to eat, drink and play.

Localeur is a community of locals spanning 60+ major cities who share recommendations on their favorite places to eat, drink and play to help travelers experience local in their cities. Unlike review sites like Yelp, Localeur has an exclusive community of local insiders who share authentic recommendations on places in the cities they live in, not the ones they visit. Launched before SXSW 2013, Localeur was dubbed one of the top mobile apps of SXSW by Digital Trends and an 'A-Lister' by SXSW and the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce. Austin Monthly deemed Localeur the 'Best New Startup' for 2013. Localeur has gone on to be named one of the best new travel apps by Forbes, Travel & Leisure and more.
