How to find a local guide for a tour?

There are many ways to find a tour guide now:

1. Find local tour guides on various online platforms and reach an agreement after private communication. However, there are security risks in this way, because you don't know whether the local tour guide is a "black tour guide" or a national professional licensed tour guide, so it is difficult to prevent unexpected situations and cheating.

2. Find local acquaintances and friends to introduce you. There are many friends in the world. You can ask them to recommend local tour guides, but you can't guarantee whether they are professional or not. It's not good to blame friends or even embarrass them when there is a problem.

Go to the local travel agency to find a tour guide. This is of course safe and reliable, but the cost will be high, and travel agencies also have such restrictions. There will be a shortage of tour guides in peak season and holidays.

4. Search on various application software. As far as I know, as well as many applications I have used and seen, many of them are not national professional certified tour guides, and the undocumented situation also makes people feel insecure. As we all know, professional tour guides should wear a tour guide card (not a tour guide qualification certificate), so they need to be cautious. If something goes wrong, no one knows where to complain without a license. Travel Notes is recommended here, which is full of national certified tour guides. This is good, at least it is guaranteed. If you are looking for a tour guide, you can place an order through the platform, which also regulates the working mode of the tour guide and provides protection for yourself.
