You’ve heard of Rate My Professors, right?
Well now, a new travel site offers a similar service - for local tour guides.
OurExplorer.com let’s you browse listings for hundreds of guides in dozens of countries, read reviews from other travelers, and rate your own guide after your trip.
The idea isn’t to get everyone signed up on large-scale bus tours - instead, OurExplorer aims to support local small businesses and independent guides, strengthening the grassroots economy and increasing interactions between locals and their visitors.
I’ve never been one for guided tours, but that’s a pretty compelling pitch, don’t you think?
