Your Guide Book

On each listing you will see an "Add to my Guide Book" link which you can click to add it to your own personal guide book. This guide book can be conveniently printed or viewed on a mobile device so you can show it to taxi drivers or tour guides.

To access your guide book, first log in or register then click on "My guide book" on the menu to the left. From here, you can use your browser's "print" function.  It will print only the items in your list, not the whole website.

Choosing Your Tour Guides

There are so many tour guides listed! Who should you choose? Here are some tips on picking a guide suitable for you.

  • See if there are reviews by other travelers posted on their profile. Of course, our tour guide listings are quite new so there aren't many reviews yet.
  • See how long the tour guide has been signed up on Synotrip. If they have been on for a long time, this means there is no way they could have hidden bad reviews.
  • Check out content contributed by the tour guide. This can display their knowledge and enthusiasm. Content they submitted is listed on their profile page.
  • Ask for references.

Getting the Most Out of Your Tour

Talk to your tour guides before meeting them. Discuss:

  • The length of time they will work.
  • How many people will be attending.
  • Who will pay entrance tickets, meal fees and transportation fees.  Also discuss whether or not you will be tipping.
  • Where you will be traveling together. For that matter, tell them where you will NOT be traveling together as well. It is common for tour guides to earn commission for bringing travelers to gift shops. If you don't want to stop at any of these, let them know ahead of time.
  • Any special considerations you will need.
  • What currency you will be paying with. You pay the tour guide directly. Synotrip charges neither the 'tripper' nor the tour guide.

Finally, after using their services, please go to their profile and post a review. This is highly useful for other trippers and your guide will appreciate it.

Synotrip does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any member profile on Synotrip.com. Synotrip merely provides a platform for tour guides and travelers to meet.
