Many Private Guides have asked me lately how to get on the first page of our website. The only thing required is the highest rating among your registered colleagues. There are several ways to get the rating points:

1) Each time you have a tour, you are reviewed by the Tourist. The following characteristics are evaluated: communication skills, professional skills, entertainment, safety / organization and overall impression. The higher your mark is, the better is the final rating.

2) Even if you have not yet received any requests from the Tourists you still have an opportunity to climb up the ladder by adding tours, posting photos, videos, blogging and informing us about your publications. Are you a member of a Professional Tour Guides Association? Do you have an official license? Show that in your profile and you will be listed higher than the amateur guides on the city/country page. Please add this information to your profile if for some reason you forgot to do that during the registration.  


3) Each time you are ‘added to favorites’ or receive votes for your tours or profile – you get some rating points as well. All of them are carefully collected and indicated in your profile in the statistics bar.


So now you know that any guide can become a leader even without having a Tourist’s review!

Thanks for the helpful post. I have tried to upload my license for many times but it does not upload. Can you suggest me any specific size of file I should upload. I have 3 mb file of my license.
