As professional outdoor guides, we work across a fragmented digital landscape, and struggle to stand out amongst unscrupulous cowboy guides sometimes. Our precious time is spent juggling multiple social media platforms, emails, messages, WhatsApps, PDFs, payment methods, all whilst ensuring client safety and professionalism. Guided presents your professionalism and simplifies your admin whilst disrupting the commission model.
Who is Guided for?
Guided is designed for all qualified outdoor guides, leaders, instructors and tutors, as individuals and/or organisations.
What is Guided?
It is a single go-to platform for you to present your unique services professionally, demonstrate certifications/qualifications, direct all your new enquiries, manage current bookings, chat with clients, handle secure payments, and attract great reveiws.
It’s also a place to learn and develop yourself further as a professional by reaching out to other guides and instructors in the Guided community.
What is Guided ‘not’?
Guided is not a comparison site where off-the-shelf listings compete over price to the detriment of experience. It’s not a commission based model, nor is it a competitive environment solely based around reviews like Trpadvisor or Viator.
Guided improves your admin efficiency, and supports your online presence and credibility.
How do I Use Guided?
Your profile is the middle part of your marketing funnel. It’s easy to share your profile on social media and websites etc so that your customers/clients come in to one place for you to demonstrate your professionalism,and manage their enquiries and bookings via intuitive chat.
Build up your activity listings to demonstrate more of what you offer.

Features
outdoor guides, instructors, tutors & leaders “finally have a professional workspace”
“…this is a huge SEO opportunity for guides, and solves the fragmented digital landscape outdoor professionals work in“
“I have seen these apps come and go and this one seems to actually be interested in how to be effective.”
“Efficiently, the guide gets a good picture of the client’s ability + goals, & the client gets an understanding of price+ trip options.”
“Good idea getting guides onto one platform. It’s often difficult to find a guide and clearly see what they offer as so many of them work on a word of mouth basis, which is great, but it’s limited.”
How time consuming is Guided?
It takes just a few minutes to create your profile and add as many listings as you like. Once you’re set up, there’s nothing more required to keep it updated unless you want to make changes.
Will I be lost in amongst my competitors?
No, Guided is a tool for guides, not a marketplace comparison site. Guided prioritises the personal connection between adventure seekers (your customers) and professional guides/instructors.
Guided is designed to help your USP shine.Your unique profile is about you and how you differ, not the cheapest off-the-shelf activities.
Boost your referrals
By nature, guides and instructors have strong local professional networks solidified by word-of-mouth. Guided helps amplify this by supplying unique profile links.

What makes Guided Different?
Unlike other apps that focus on off-the-shelf activity listings, and that don’t differentiate professionals from unscrupulous providers, we highlight the expertise and professionalism of each guide and instructor through detailed professional profiles, fostering trust and authenticity in every adventure.
Guided also stands out because it’s built around chat functionality, which intuitively allows you to focus on the personal connection between you and your client, in a professional online environment, where trust and safety is paramount.
