For freelance local guides

The tour ends. The city does not.

You just spent three hours being the most useful person in someone’s week, and then they walk off with a paper map. A guide keeps you in their pocket for the rest of the trip, with your name on the front.

People ask you the same question at the end of every tour: so where should we go tonight? You answer it standing on a corner, and by dinner they have forgotten half of it.

Hand them something instead. One guide for your tour, for every group you will ever take out: you make it once, and the card with the code comes along every day. It is written in the language you gave the tour in, it carries your name and your colours, and it works when their phone has no signal.

What runs in production, right now

One guide for your tour, for every group

The city you show people round, with photographs, a map and a practical tip for every place, and your own words at the top. It has no dates and does not expire, so you make it once and hand it to every group that comes along.

One QR code for all your groups

Send the link ahead with the booking confirmation, or hold the card up at the end of the tour: whoever scans the code has the guide, in their own language if you have it in more than one. Add a language later and the same card offers it.

Your own note, for your group only

Behind that code sits whatever you write for the people on your tour alone: where and when you meet, what to bring. Your public page and the ordinary share link never show it.

Your favourites, in the guide and on your page

From the checked catalogue you pick the places you would send your own group to; the cover photographs of your guide come from them too. In the guide your group installs they are marked “Our favourite”, with a line of your own if you want one. On a page for your tour they sit below your own words, without that line. Link to it from your own website; search engines only find it if you ask and we have read it.

In the language you gave the tour in

Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish or Flemish: the descriptions, the tips and the buttons are in that language, and your own words appear as you wrote them. Once opened it lives on the phone, which matters more for a visitor on a foreign data plan than for almost anyone else.

You check it, and your name is on it

Your logo, your colours and your own contact address. The places come from our checked catalogue and you take out anything you would not send your own group to; beyond that, nobody rewrites your guide. If a group is staying a few days, you can make them a guide for their own dates as well.

How often your guide is opened

You see how often your tour’s guide was opened in the last thirty days and when it was last opened — counted without knowing who, so no one on your tour is followed.

And what you do not get, yet

Everything above runs in production today. This is the rest of it — what a host reasonably expects and we have not built:

Your own web address. Guides are shared from vidiveni.app links. guides.yourhotel.com is not wired up.
Your own places. You pick your favourites from one shared, checked catalogue. You cannot yet add a place that is not in it — the bakery you send everyone to.
Plans you can pick yourself. There is no checkout and no plan picker. During the pilot it is a conversation, which is why this page ends in a form rather than a card number.
A connection to your booking system. No API and no keys. A guide is made in the dashboard, by a person.
A dashboard in every language. The screens you make guides in are in Dutch and English; French, German and Spanish are not there yet. The guide your guest receives is in their language either way.

All of it is on the roadmap. None of it is in the product, so none of it is in the price.
