FAQ

1. Are there delays in the delivery of messages or notifications?

No. Messages and notifications (an email to the registered email address and a push notification in the smartphone app) are sent in real time. We test the system periodically from various devices and accounts. In all tests, tour guides receive alerts of new messages immediately after the tourist presses the SEND button.

2. What can I do if I still feel that something is delayed?

You can try it yourself, easily and reliably:

• Register a new tourist account on PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD using a different email address.
• To perform this test clearly, log in on a separate, independent device or computer (not the one where you use your guide profile).
• Send a Private Message from the tourist profile to your tour guide profile (pay attention to the minimum of 200 characters in the first initial message).
• Notice how quickly the tour guide 's account receives the notification.

This test removes all doubts: it is the most objective way to verify delivery speed.

3. Why do tourists sometimes not reply after I reply to them?

Some common reasons are listed below:​

• The tourist had already found a guide he liked better.
• The tour guide's response was not competitive enough in terms of price or offer.
• The tour guide's message was unclear, unfriendly, and unattractive.

4. What can I do to increase my chances of receiving responses?

• Respond quickly.
• Write clearly and personally.
• Highlight what makes your journey unique.​
• Review and improve your profile photos, description, and prices.​

Conclusion:

Our system is fast and reliable. If a tourist doesn't respond, it's not a technical issue, but rather a standard screening process. You can always test the system yourself using the method mentioned above.

Your subscription always runs for 365 days (1 full year) from the date of activation.

• If you have no active subscription, the new subscription will become active immediately after payment and remain valid for 365 days.

• If you already have an active subscription, any renewal paid in advance will not shorten your current period. Instead, the new subscription will begin the day after the current one ends and will then last for 365 days.

You can always check the exact expiration date of your subscription. It is displayed in red under your avatar in the MY PROFILE section (accessible from the upper-right corner drop-down menu on any webpage). This information is visible only to you, not to visitors.

Example:

If you start your subscription on October 1, 2025, it will expire on October 1, 2026.

If you renew early and pay on July 1, 2026, the new subscription will automatically activate on October 2, 2026 and run until October 2, 2027.

Tip:

You may pay for multiple years in advance without limit. This ensures uninterrupted access and protects you against any possible future price changes.

Yes. You don’t need to create a new profile. We can update your registered email address while keeping your account data safe and unchanged.

Here’s how the process works:

1. Send a request from your currently registered email address (the one connected to your account) to support@pg.world

2. In your request, clearly state the new email address you want to use.

3. Once we receive your request, we will update your profile with the new email address.

4. All your account data, including your password, tours, and messages, will remain the same.

5. We will send you a confirmation as soon as the change has been completed.

⚠️ Important:

• For security reasons, we usually process requests only if they come from your registered email address.

• If you no longer have access to your old email, please contact our support team. In such cases, we may ask for additional verification (e.g., profile details, uploaded documents, or other personal identifiers) to confirm ownership of your account.
