Interpretation of Tourguidefind host
On Tourguidefind, a ‘host’ is a broad definition of a person who resides in a certain location and wishes to share his personal local experience with travellers he meets on Tourguidefind so that they could become acquainted with the area from the perspective of a local. Tourguidefind local hosts must meet all legal requirements to give tours in their area. In some cases, and in some locations, this means that a specific license has to be obtained from an appropriate authority. However if a Tourguidefind host is simply accompanying travellers, offers practical advice or shares his experience about ‘best bars and restaurants’, ‘non-touristic spots’, ‘shopping areas’ etc. he may just be a passionate local person without any formal training in tour organising.

Requirements for the Locals, Profiles and Guidance
If you are Visitor, you understand and agree that a Local is not an individual involved in professional travel activities. A Local is not always a licensed and/or qualified tour guide. He or she is a person, who resides and has knowledge of certain area and wishes to share it with the Visitors so that they become acquainted with the area from the perspective of a Local.
As a Local, you may create Profile where you can showcase a range of original local Guidance as well as personal information you wish to share with Visitors about you and your area. The Profile will be made publicly available via the Services, and Visitors will be able to book Guidance via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Profile. Visitors will also be able to provide feedback on your Guidance and rate you as a Local. We will monitor all feedback obtained from Visitors prior to publishing any reviews on your Profile, however we cannot be held liable for any derogatory or negative feedback received from Visitors.
If you are Local, you represent and warrant that your Profile and Guidance (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, (ii) will be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply, and (iii) will not conflict with the rights of third parties.
Please also note that any Guidance offered by a Local must comply with the following requirements: (i) the Guidance has to be delivered personally by the Local who confirmed the booking, (ii) the Visitor may not be joined to the Guidance booked by or delivered to other Visitors, (iii) the number of the Guidances that the Local may deliver per day is limited to one.

Sharing your contact details, such as your phone numbers, emails, links to other sites and social networks, is not allowed before a booking is confirmed and paid. Communication before booking is for discussing your tour details only. Contact details of both parties will be automatically released after booking is confirmed via Traveler payment system. In case you bypass the Traveler platform, you isolate yourself from safe payments, customer support in case of dispute, refund policies and trustful reputation through our review system. Any attempts to exchange contacts before booking or execute transactions outside of the website can also be a reason for limiting you from using our services. If necessary, your internal communication on Traveler can be reviewed by Tourguidefind staff. This is to provide you a better support should a conflict arise that requires escalation between you and another user.
