Everything you need to go live

A guide profile on GuideConnect is your storefront. These are the tools that come with it.

A profile that sells you

Portrait, bio, languages, specialities and a media gallery of your past groups — the things travellers scroll for before they book.

Your tours, your calendar

A step-by-step tour wizard, live pricing and a calendar you control down to the half hour. Block a day and you simply do not show up in searches for it.

Payouts on your terms

Set what you want to receive and see the traveller price live. Completed tours build your balance — press “Pay me now” and it lands in two days.

Messaging that sells

Answer questions, share your profile or tours, and build a custom tour that appears on the traveller's screen instantly — with read receipts and email or SMS alerts.

Reviews you can answer

Ratings attach to your profile and to each tour, and you can reply to every review. Reviews you earned elsewhere can be imported too.

Verified guide badge

Upload your licence or association membership once and wear the verified badge across every tour you list.

Three steps to your first booking

Most guides are live on the directory the same afternoon they sign up.

Register your account

Name, email, the city you guide in and the languages you work in. That is the whole sign-up form.

2

Build your profile

Add your portrait, a bio in your own voice, a gallery from past tours, and the tours you want to sell.

Publish and get found

Publish your profile to the public directory, where travellers filter by city, language and speciality.
