Everything about booking a verified Local Buddy. Still stuck? Reach us any time from your dashboard.
A Local Buddy is a verified local companion, not a licensed tour guide reading a script, but a real resident who shows you their city the way they live it: the food they actually eat, the markets they shop, the shortcuts they take. Every Buddy is ID-checked and interviewed by our team before their first trip.
Our team matches the best-fit verified Buddy to your request after you book, based on your interests, language, dates and any preferences you set. You see their full profile once the match is confirmed. This keeps quality high and matching fair.
Yes. You can set a gender preference during booking and we honour it when matching. Many solo travelers and families prefer a female Buddy, and we have plenty on the platform.
Each booking covers 1 to 4 travelers. The price starts with one person and adds a small flat fee for each extra traveler, so you always see the full total before you pay. For larger groups, book a custom experience and we will arrange the right Buddy.
Absolutely. Tell us the ages in Additional Requests and we will match a family-friendly Buddy who knows kid-friendly food, pacing and rest stops.
Yes. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your start time. Nothing is charged when you book, so cancelling in time costs you nothing and there is no refund to wait for.
You pay your Buddy directly in cash, at the start of your session on the day. Nothing is charged when you book, and no card details are needed. Bring the total shown on your booking, and we email your receipt as soon as your Buddy confirms the payment.
Your time slot locks immediately. Our team matches a verified Buddy, who confirms your trip. At that point you get their profile, the exact meeting point with a map link, and a 24/7 emergency contact. On the day, you meet, pay your Buddy in cash, and go.
