    I work as a tour guide in Buenos Aires, one bad thing is the fake profiles that hire you. Many make you indecent proposals. I have reported several, but one person in particular from Italy, who I have never met and have never traveled with, made a false report and the app does not want to remove it. There are dangerous men looking for women for other types of activities that are not tourist-related. The worst of all is that no one in the app cares to solve your problem.

    I've been unexpectedly logged out of my account and can't log back in. Is there an issue with Showaround? I urgently need access because I'm planning trips and communicating with tour guides.

  • Not working the in box= useless app

    As I wrote before it has been an excellent app and I loved it, allowing the visitor to have the assistance of a local in almost every city. It was the best: you create a trip , and the locals offer their services charging an hourly rate. I used the app always as a visitor. I have always made the payments on time and I have got excellent reviews of the guides. Unfortunately , Showaround changed for the worse . The inbox is not working and you cannot receive offers from locals. Showaround pretends to charge the visitors $25 per month. This is US$300 per year, even if you only travel once or twice a year. The app still allows you to create a trip and notifies the locals. However, Showaround blocks the offers and messages that you may receive at your inbox from locals, so the visitor can no longer hire them, and they will no longer have the possibility of work. I insist that it would be more logical and fair to charge a commission per trip. And remember : afterwards you have to pay the local. In case of few annual trips, it is better to hire a professional guide. Showaround, unless it change its policy, is a useless app for the traveler. It's a pity!

    We had a great experience using the Showaround app. We met an amazing tour guide in Luxor, Egypt.
  • Каринка of Kharkiv, Ukraine.

    Каринка hosted a very rewarding tour of Kharkiv. She asks about my interests, anticipates the obstacles and prepares the reservation. Каринка applies her knowledge of Kharkiv to suit the tourist’s interests. A memorable experience involved the tour of the zoo in Kharkiv. We visited a variety of animal dens and watched their captivity. The interaction with the monkeys was cute and amusing. The mirror room served as a pleasant challenge. It was difficult to determine if an entry was real or a reflection! Каринка identified the exit of the mirror room! What a relief! Without her determination, I would have predicted an endless loop of false turns. Каринка saved the day! Another joyful experience involved an evening at Stargorod Restaurant. The customers can seize the opportunity to participate in karaoke. Каринка filmed my performance of singing, “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” It is one of my favorite songs. Каринка serves as an outstanding tourist guide and I encourage anyone to pursue her talents.
