Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an official guide to do a guruwalk?

Depending on the country, there are different laws in relation to this work. In Europe, if you are an official guide you can work in any country from the European Union, however in some of those countries you will have to validate your accreditation. If you are not an official guide, you can always create another type of tour such as tours based on gastronomy, movies, the best breweries in your city and many other possibilities that travelers also like to book. If you are not sure on how it works, you can always contact us.

What happens when I receive a booking?

You will receive an email with all the traveler’s information, including name, date, number of people and the chosen language. You can contact them by phone or through the platform.

How will travelers pay me?

Based on their experience, travelers will give you a voluntary amount at the end of the guruwalk. Travelers often know how the free tours work, however we always advise you to explain this at the beginning of the tour.

Are there any other gurus to support me?

GuruWalk is an international community with thousands of registered gurus around the world, and we keep growing. If you want, we have a facebook group where we share thousands of tips, content and experiences, in order to learn from each other and create a great family, not to mention that the GuruWalk team will always support you and help you with any questions.
