Myguidie is an online website, which can help users find new experiences and offers them interesting things to do. For example, you can learn how to bake muffins, or maybe prepare cocktails. You can offer people shopping advice, teach people or photo sessions for some cash or any good places in your locality. The website is also a lifesaver for people new in town and even tourists as you can have someone show you around all the cool spots in and around the city, such as the best restaurants, hotels and more.

All a user needs to do is make an account on the website, he/she is then required to pick an experience which they want to try out, pick the date when they are available, specify the amount of money they are willing to spend, select an experience category and book it. On that day, a local person in that area specializing in that field will help you out with whatever you choose.

You can also do the opposite, be the expert local, and earn some money from showing other people around, and teaching them new stuff.

Currently, the service supports popular tourists destinations only.

Features

• Free and easy to use.
• Areas of service are gradually expanding.
• Finding new and interesting things to do the easy way.
• Making extra cash by offering your time and passion.
