Who Is Keyguides For? (Hint: It’s Not Just for Guides)

Who Is Keyguides For?

Keyguides is designed to bring together three important groups in the world of travel experiences: independent guides, partners who book or work with guides, and verification partners (like associations) that represent guides.

Let’s break down how each one fits in – and why we built Keyguides with you in mind.

1. For Independent Guides

Take bookings. Get discovered. Run your business your way.

We know that guides are the beating heart of unforgettable experiences – but too often, they’re stuck behind high commissions, clunky booking systems, or platforms that treat them like “just another listing.” Keyguides is different.

Here’s what guides can do on the platform:

• Create a professional profile that acts like your own bookable website

• Set your availability and get bookings directly – no middlemen

• Manage your calendar across platforms to avoid double bookings

• Share your unique story and the tours you actually love doing

• Get verified by your association or by us for added credibility

You stay in control – of your pricing, your availability, and how you work.

2. For Booking Partners

Find the right guides, fast – and book them directly.

Partners include tour operators, DMCs, cruise companies, hotels, and other businesses that need reliable guides they can trust. We make it easy to:

• Search for qualified guides with real-time availability

• Invite guides to apply for your jobs (yes, there’s a job board!)

• Manage your favorite guides in one place

• Book directly without endless email threads

• Get peace of mind from verified profiles and transparent reviews

Keyguides helps you reduce admin, build stronger relationships with local experts, and deliver better experiences for your guests.

3. For Membership Organizations

Support your members. Build trust with travelers and partners.

Keyguides lets professional groups — like associations, unions, and training bodies — create a public page that showcases their verified members.

As an admin of a Membership Page, you can:

• Add your logo and organization details

• Automatically verify guides based on your records

• Highlight the value of being part of your network

When your badge appears on a guide’s profile, it tells the world: This guide is qualified, trusted, and backed by professionals.

Now what?

Whether you’re a guide or a partner, Keyguides Connect is here to take the stress out of bookings — and help the right guides get found for the right moments. You can sign to the right place for you: guide, booking partner og membership admin.
