Do tour guides need to be licensed to register on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD platform?

Thank you for reaching out and expressing interest in PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD Service.

Regarding your question, tour guides are welcome to join our platform regardless of whether they hold a license. While some countries may have specific regulations for the tourist industry, such as licensing requirements, it's important to note that many countries, like the Netherlands and France, do not require tour guides to be licensed.

For various types of tours, such as stopover tours, shopping tours, night city tours, and food tours, no formal license is necessary. Tour guides offer a diverse range of experiences, from sharing historical knowledge to guiding visitors through local markets or hidden gems in nature.

However, having a license can undoubtedly be advantageous for tour guides. It can provide credibility and assurance to potential clients. There is a special section in a tour guide profile on our platform where you can upload your license, diplomas, and certificates for public viewing. They will appear under your avatar picture for all website visitors.

Our platform operates on the principle of freedom of choice for both tourists and tour guides. Every local tour guide has a unique niche and expertise to offer. It's ultimately the tourist's prerogative to decide which type of guide best suits their needs, whether based on qualifications or preferences.

If you have any further questions or would like more information on registration requirements, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're here to help you in any way we can.

We are pleased to offer every new subscriber on our platform a 1-month free trial subscription as a local private tour guide if you want to join us right now. Please press this button (you need no credit card or payment for this) :
