About us

The standard and quickie tours of the main attractions on your own, plus a boring guidebook... brrrrr... it even sounds dull. Travels can be more exciting and interesting, right?! To prove this, we have created Private Guide World services.

Take a new, fresh look at the tour arrangements.

Using the Private Guide World service, we address two key issues simultaneously: first, we promote the services of private tour guides from around the world; and second, we simplify the process of finding a private tour guide in any travel destination. Private Guide World helps tourists and tour guides find each other!

We dream about the times when:

• Tours will not be limited to viewing only popular and familiar sites. The enormous variety of other activities like climbing the mountains and diving into the deep blue waters, exploring the sunken caves, or looking at the city from the huge skyscraper roof terrace with a private tour guide should be as easy as visiting the Paris Opera (is it easy enough to see now???). Therefore, we provide tour guides with the opportunity to develop their own established routes.

Underwater or trekking tourism: make your own route with a private tour guide

• Communication with the private tour guide should bring only positive emotions. That’s why we created profiles, where you can learn more about a tour guide you plan to hire. Here, professionals in tour design will present themselves and their fascinating tours, and publish interesting articles accompanied by colorful photos. You can choose a private tour guide you like the most and chat with him/her using our in-built messenger to discuss the future itinerary and schedule!

After viewing a tour guide's profile and communicating with them, you can easily form an impression of the tour guide you plan to hire.

• Subjective ratings are a bad decision, we suppose, that's why we deny them. To make it easy for tourists to find the right private tour guide, we recommend you fill in all profile fields. Then it will be possible for a tourist to see you using several different parameters and filters simultaneously. 

•  Add more information about yourself in your tour guide profile, and it will be easier for tourists to find you through the search.

• We love to travel and use tour guide services by ourselves, so we can objectively assess the pros and cons of our service and work to improve it. We spend days and nights improving our services, hoping they will benefit everyone.

• We are promoting our tour guides' profiles through Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok and PG.world. Applications for Android and iOS are also available for download.

The Service is constantly being improved. Using it from your PC or mobile device will be simple and easy!

• We created our service based on a fixed annual charge rather than a commission basis, as any commission would be significantly more expensive. Try to calculate by yourself! If a standard full-day tour costs 200-300€ and we charge 20% commission, it will be 40-60€. And this is a commission-only deal for one tour! At the same time, our annual membership costs 30-70€ per year, depending on the country. But how many tours can a guide make in 1 year? 10? 20? 50? Our registered tour guides conduct a minimum of 10 tours per year and pay us an annual fee of 40-70€ instead of the 400-600€ commission for 10 tours. Big difference, right?

• Our idea was not to interfere in any negotiations between tour guides and tourists! Of course, it brings more responsibility to a tour guide, but this is his/her business, and they are experienced exactly in this activity!

• To choose the best tour guide for your trip, we recommend communicating with several private tour guides simultaneously. Our guides do not pay for every order received, so if they have an annual subscription, they will answer your inquiry as soon as possible (of course, if they are interested enough)

• Our online Service does not take any payments from tourists. We do not charge any additional commission per tour from the tour guides, either.

• Negotiations between a tourist and a tour guide are personal and confidential, and we do not interfere in these matters. Therefore, we provided the tour guides and tourists with an opportunity to communicate directly without intermediaries. Select a tour guide(s) you like, one or more, and start a dialogue using our in-built messenger.

Select one or more tour guides and start to discuss your tour!

• It should be simple to find a tour guide, interpreter, or driver, especially in a foreign country, when you don't know the language. Therefore, we introduced the geolocation feature. Run it, and the search will give you the profiles of registered tour guides from the selected area.

• To find a private tour guide in your destination you need to visit our online platform www.pg.world, register as a tourist by creating your login and password (for free), choose a city of destination, then a tour guide from the local tour guides' list and contact him/her directly by pressing SEND MESSAGE button! In this case, the chosen tour guide will receive your inquiry and will be able to answer it. You can also send a bulk message to all tour guides in your destination who match your language criteria.
