GuidesFinder connects travelers and local guides. The built‑in messaging system enables direct communication. A traveler can message any registered guide from their account or from the guide’s or tour page. All cooperation terms (itinerary, dates, price, and payment method) are agreed directly between traveler and guide.

Post an “I need a guide” request. Registered guides on the platform will see it and can respond directly.

Yes—preferably in advance. The guide’s profile page has a message form. All communication goes through the GuidesFinder messaging system.

Don’t reply to the notification email—your reply won’t reach the recipient. Reply only in your GuidesFinder account, in “My messages.” You can follow the link from the notification to open your account.

A deposit is possible only by mutual agreement with the guide. Make one only after you are confident in the guide’s reliability and professionalism. GuidesFinder is not a party to financial arrangements.

You can leave a review on the guide’s profile and you can also purchase a Premium subscription for them as a token of appreciation. In the checkout form, tick the option “License for another person.”

Yes. Message the administrator via the messaging system and describe the situation.
