4 good reasons to join us
1. It's free.
You never pay a cent: not to sign up today, not to use the platform.
When a traveler books, we keep 15% of the booking. You get the rest.
2. Clients from around the world come to you.
No more chasing tourists or paying a middleman to send them your way.
Travelers find you on the site and book in just a few clicks. In French, English or Spanish — more languages coming soon.
3. You choose how you get paid.
Two options, you choose:
The traveler pays through our site.
We send your share to your bank account afterwards. No card terminal to buy, no paperwork to handle.
The traveler pays you in cash, on the day of the experience.
You keep the money in hand. We only charge our 15% commission on the card they registered at booking.
You can switch modes whenever you want, from one tour to another.
4. A site built for guides — to put you back at the center of the service and the pay.
You showcase your story, your craft, your languages.
You set your prices. You choose your hours. You can turn down a booking.

The money, plain and simple
Our commission: 15%.
Our 15% commission is significantly lower than the big international tourism platforms, whose commissions typically range from 20 to 30%.
When you get paid
In online payment mode: automatic transfer twice a week, 72 hours after the experience.
In cash mode: you collect on site, the same day.
No hidden fees
- No card terminal to buy
- No monthly subscription
- No additional commission beyond the 15%
Cancellations, made clear
You know exactly what you receive in every case. No nasty surprises.
If the traveler cancels
Group tour
- 24h or more before the experience: free cancellation for the traveler. Your slot reopens for booking.
- Less than 24h before: you receive 35% of the price (the blocked spot can no longer be resold). The traveler gets 50% back.
Exclusive (private) tour
- 14 days or more before: free cancellation for the traveler.
- Less than 14 days before: you receive 35% of the price (you had blocked your day). The traveler gets 50% back.
If the traveler doesn't show up (no-show)
- The traveler's card is saved at the time of booking.
- If they don't show up without justification, you receive 35% of the price, charged automatically to their card. You don't absorb the lost slot alone.
If you're the one cancelling
- Until you've accepted a request, you're committed to nothing: declining it or letting it expire costs you nothing, no penalty.
- Once a booking is accepted, you can still cancel it if something comes up (the traveler is then fully refunded).
- But a high cancellation rate after acceptance is poorly viewed by travelers: avoid it to protect your reputation.
Frequently asked questions
Am I locked into a long-term commitment?▾
Can I be listed on other sites at the same time?▾
When do I receive my money?▾
What if a traveler cancels at the last minute?▾
What if a traveler doesn't show up?▾
How long does the signup take?▾
Is my data protected?▾
Do I need a degree or a license?▾
Yes, in most cases. Depending on your profession and country, you'll need to provide:
- An official license (tour guide, mountain guide…)
- Or a professional certification (PADI for diving, IKO for kitesurfing, FFVL for paragliding…)
If your activity or your area doesn't legally require a license, write to us: we review each case.
This requirement protects the quality of our site and the value of your work.
How much can I earn?▾
That depends on several things: how interesting your activity is for travelers, how rare it is in your area, your prices, the season, and the quality of your photos and your presentation.
Our advice for a good start: when you arrive, set your prices slightly below the local average. The time to build a foothold, gather your first bookings and stack up positive reviews.
Once your reputation is established, you can adjust your prices upward — your reviews will do the rest.
