LocalGuiding

LocalGuiding is a global arena for local guides and private tours. It mainly focuses on tailor made tours which allows travelers to make completely personalized tours. Founded by Robert Blessing who works as a tour guide himself, it has become a marketplace where every need of travelers are met, particularly a direct contact to the guide for a fast and efficient transaction.

This site is perfect for anyone who is out of work and wishes to start generating income. It is going to help you make one by just getting to know the city you currently live in from front to back. Then, you can become a guide.

As a guide, you are going to make a listing and make a traveler contact you prior to visiting your city. The two of you will be linked so that you can have direct contact to each other. In this regard, you can see if you to get along quite well. And if you do and a certain agreement is reached, then you will become the personal guide when that foreigner visits your city.

LocalGuiding is rather easy to use. The registration only takes you a few minutes and then you’re ready to go. Tours are searched under two categories, namely by location and by activity. Also, tour request can be easily placed as well.

Essentially, LocalGuiding brings the interests to locals who are not really that well- acquainted to a certain city at best. They can hire the services of their fellow locals that are more than willing to show them around for a price that is right.

All in all, LocalGuiding has already expanded into three teams because of their passion of travelling, all around the world, namely China, Germany, and Uruguay. These three different locations help widen the perspective, thus helping to understand the needs of clients all over the world.
