What makes a good Friends.guide? You have to love the country, your people, and tourists. Try to win travelers over as friends, even if they have a low budget.
Travelers should also be open to locals. We have to take care of each other. Tourism is hospitality, and in Switzerland, prices for services are high—but being friendly costs nothing.
Tour operators can access our website and directly contact the listed guides. We operate in Switzerland and have so many ideas we want to share.
To provide authentic travel experiences, we look around. What are the little things a tourist might miss? Which special artists and craftsmen are there, which festivals are interesting, or which small towns can be discovered?
Maybe we visit a library or a retirement home, or go to a local concert. A Friends.guide will always look for surprises.
We explain our model in some project posts
