Worldwide Guides is a
network of professional guides around the world who
are using their collective numbers and the power of the internet
to become
the first place that anyone, anywhere in the world,
turns to when hiring a professional tour(ist) guide,
private guide, tour manager or
travel director.
Included in your
membership is:
 |
A Listing
Advertising Your Services. This can include a photo,
a description, and a link to your included web page.
|
|
|
A Professional Web Page,
which you can easily create, edit and add as much
information as you like. It will be

|
|
|
The Ability to Reach a
Global Audience of hundreds of thousands of tour companies,
travel agents, event companies, independent travelers and others
who hire guides around the world. |
|
|
And Much More
|
The cost to join is
only USD 39 a Year (approx. EUR 29 a Year)
Clients contact you
and hire you directly, which means that you set your own
rates and keep everything you earn.
Even though we are
only a few months old, many of our members are finding work through
the site. A single client found through
Worldwide Guides should easily pay for a year's membership.
And while the included
Professional Web Page itself is an amazing value, we realize
that the nicest Web Site isn't going to find you work if no one
sees it.
That's why we are
working hard to make sure Worldwide Guides is the first place
that anyone, anywhere goes to when looking to hire a guide.

both the destination listing and web page and the TD entry at no extra charge)
