Guide resources

📖

Everything you need to know about running your TerraGuide business — pricing, availability, group limits, and how payouts work.

🛡️

Our requirements for guide verification, vehicle inspections, insurance, and how to handle emergencies during a trip.

Have a question about a booking, payout, or your account? Our guide support team is available by email, typically within a few hours.

📅

Keep your availability calendar up to date so travelers can find you. Guides who block their calendar regularly get 40% more bookings.

Respond to inquiries within 2 hours

Travelers who get a fast response book at 3× the rate of those who wait. Turn on notification emails in your guide portal.

Keep your profile photo current

A clear, friendly profile photo builds trust. Guides with photos showing their face get significantly more bookings than those without.

Be specific about your tour stops

Travelers love knowing exactly where they'll go. Add specific venues, neighborhoods, and highlights to your description and add-ons.

Set your availability every week

Update your availability calendar at least once a week. Travelers can only book available dates, so empty calendars lose bookings.

Use the Meeting PIN every time

Verify the 4-digit PIN at the start of every trip — it's not just a safety feature, it builds traveler confidence from minute one.
