🌐 Share live location, photos, and files with your walkers!

Features designed to boost attendance rates and enhance the tour experience.


  1. Want to make sure your walkers find you at the meeting point?
     Or help those who wander off to buy water or take photos during the tour?

Now you can share your live location directly from the platform’s messaging system. Once activated, all the walkers for that event will be able to see where you are. We recommend starting to share your location about 15 minutes before the tour begins, to help them reach you easily at the meeting point 📍.


Alert

The live location session will automatically expire after 3 hours, unless the guide stops it manually.


  1. 📸 Make it easier for walkers to recognize you at the meeting point
Busy or crowded meeting points can make it hard for walkers to spot the guide. To reduce no-shows (especially those who might be just meters away), you can send a photo of yourself and the meeting point right before the tour starts. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference.


Idea
Send the classic group photo at the end of the tour! It’s a great way to wrap up the experience and build a connection 🫂

  1. 📄 Do your walkers ask for local tips and recommendations?
Walkers love receiving local insights at the end of a tour. A great way to increase value—and encourage them to leave a review—is to share a PDF with your favorite local restaurants, bars, hidden gems, and must-see spots only a local guide would know.
You can easily send this file through the messaging system, and while you’re at it, kindly remind them to leave a review if they enjoyed the tour ♥️

🧭 Where to find these tools:

We'll show you where to share your location, photos, and files within the plarform's messaging system:

  1. In your chat with the walker, you’ll find a paperclip icon at the bottom left. Tap it to send photos and attach documents directly in the conversation.
  2. On the bottom right of the chat, you’ll see a pin icon. Use this to share your real-time location with the walker.
In the example, the guide shared their (now expired) location and sent a photo of the meeting point.
