How to Book Professional Guides with the Job Board
May 19, 2025

Looking to book experienced local guides for your tours? Whether you’re a travel company, hotel, or DMC — or an independent guide searching for more bookings — the Job Board on Keyguides Connect is your simple, reliable way to match jobs with the right guides.

For Travel Companies, Hotels & DMCs: Find and Hire Tour Guides in Minutes

Need a guide next week in Lisbon? Looking to staff a full season in Oslo? Just post the job.

Here’s how it works:

  • Create a job listing with key details, price, and requirements

  • Guides in that area apply directly with their Keyguides Connect profile

  • You choose and approve the guide that best fits your needs

No endless emails. No messy spreadsheets. And no hidden fees — just a clear 15% booking fee paid by partners. Early partners may qualify for discounted rates, so get in touch with us if you’re among the first to try it out.

Once approved, the booking is confirmed. You’ll get the guide’s contact details for direct communication by email or phone if needed — though most bookings include all necessary info upfront.

Whether you’re handling one request or managing a whole season, the Job Board keeps your process smooth and scalable.

For Guides: Get Hired for Real Tour Guide Jobs — and Keep 100%

Tired of platforms that take 25% and leave you out of the loop? The Job Board is built differently.

Here, travel companies post real jobs, and you apply to the ones that suit you.

  • Only see jobs in cities you work in

  • Apply with two clicks

  • Get paid directly by the partner

  • Invoices are auto-generated and linked to the booking — always accurate

  • You get notified by email when you are approved for a job

  • If your calendar is connected you will get calendar invite the moment the booking is approved — it’s saved instantly

And yes — you keep 100% of your rate.

Just make sure your Keyguides profile is public to start applying. That’s your website, your portfolio, and your application all in one.

Why This Works — for Everyone

The Job Board was designed because guides and partners said: "There has to be a better way."

And now there is.

Keyguides Connect makes it easy to:

  • Post and apply for guide jobs quickly

  • Sync calendars and avoid double-bookings

  • Get direct contact details once confirmed

  • Skip the middleman fees and platform clutter
