Please note that we work only with professional, fully-insured tour guides and travel companies so please have the necessary documents at hand.

I do not see any open requests in my profile. Why?
Probably because there are none in your area. Just wait, they’ll come.
When do I get paid for my tours? How?
You will have access to the funds immediately after the service is provided to the client. Make sure the client presses “Start” prior to the beginning of your tour, otherwise we will not have proof the service was indeed provided. You should be able to see you current balance in your profile. From there, you can request the withdrawal of funds up to the limit of your balance. We charge no fees for withdrawals above 200€. Below that, we keep a 2% fee to cover for financial costs. The funds are transferred to your account via wire transfer 48-72h after your request.
I work in several locations. May I provide answers to more than one location?
Absolutely! We allow you to provide solutions at any destination where you operate. If you wish to add a new location just send us an email via hello@getta.guide.
I am a guide but I also want to enjoy the tours from other guides. How can I do this?
As a guide you cannot ask for a tour. For that, you should create a separate registration with a different email address: just access the app with the new email and you will receive a code to enter. That's it!
I have a company with several guides. Are the requests centralised or distributed to all my guides?
At Getta Guide we strive for personalisation. Each guide has an individual profile as well as the freedom to provide answers to any request. However, if there is enough interest, we may implement a centralisation method for companies to manage their guides. If you feel that need, drop us an email via hello@getta.guide.
What’s your cancellation policy?
For guides: cancelations are free up to 48h prior to the beginning of the tour. Afterwards, a 15% fee will be kept in order to cover for losses, which will be discounted on your balance. You should make sure the client is aware of the cancelation and you should get in touch with him/her through the in-app chat system prior to cancelation. If you cancel without informing the client we may take measures to exclude you from the guide pool.
All cancelations are done in the app.

May I edit my profile? How?
Yes, absolutely! Go the “My account” tab, click on your picture and then the pencil icon on the upper right corner. Please note that all information should be accurate and you must inform us of any changes you make.
