Local Guides is a global community of explorers who write reviews, share photos, answer questions, add or edit places, and check facts on Google Maps.

Millions of people rely on contributions from Local Guides to decide where to go and what to do.

These guides are then given certified levels to reflect how much they have contributed to the Local Guides program.

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown! Sorry, it’s taken me so long to respond to your question. Essentially, Spoken Word is poetry performed aloud but that’s just scratching the surface. Check out this link for further information: What is Spoken Word?. I hope you find the article informative and get the opportunity to watch Spoken Word for yourself in person. It can be very interesting!
