Ask Bob
A guide, without the app

Type a city. Get the guide Bob would write.

The same designed PDF Bob makes inside the app — where to eat in three price bands, where to stay, what's worth your time, and one perfect day laid out in order. Yours to keep, on your phone or printed, and it opens with no signal.

One city, one PDF, including VAT. No account, no subscription, nothing to install.

What you get

A few sharp pages from somebody who lives there

Not a listicle and not the first ten results. Bob picks what he would actually send a friend to, writes it in his own voice, and lays it out to be read on a phone in line.

Where to eat, in three price bands

The special-occasion table, the solid middle, and the cheap one locals actually use — with the reason each one is in the book.

One perfect day, in order

A whole day that actually works as a route — walkable, in the right sequence, with the one stop worth building it around.

Where to stay, and what to see

Places to stay that are worth the money, and the sights that earn the hour they take.

It works with no signal

It is a PDF. It opens on the plane, on the metro, and in the country where your data stopped working — and it is yours, not a login.

Written when you buy it

Not pulled off a shelf. It is composed for the city you typed, at the moment you ask, which is why it takes a minute or two rather than a second.

If Bob can't do it justice, he says so

Some places do not have enough good in them for a guide worth paying for. Bob says that before you pay, not after.

The honest small print

The price includes VAT wherever you are, so what you see is what you pay. You'll get a receipt from our payment provider and a download link the moment the guide is built — keep the tab open, it takes a minute or two.

If the guide can't be built, you are not charged. If something goes wrong after you've paid, write to info@askbob.guide and we will refund it — no argument.

Have the app? Then don't buy here: a subscription includes three guides every month, and more can be bought inside the app for less than this.
