Outrageous Cost
To contact local guides the app is charging me $51.99 for 3 (yes THREE) days (yes DAYS). $51.99 FOR 3 DAYS?!?! I could see that for a year. Maybe even a month. That would be over $500USD PER MONTH just to fund a local tour guide. There are other apps people.
Good
Great app for to find local tour guide
Continues to charge and refuses to refund
They keep charging your account after cancelation, I had $200 in charges!
Plenty of Scammers on the app
There are plenty of scammers on the app. You do find locals but the you also see profiles asking you to join them on telegram. I reported an account and its still there.
Cannot create a trip anymore
Whenever you wanna create a trip to get offers it crashes. It’s gotten useless…
Good, but no security
The ideia of the app is amazing, but there’s to many fake accounts, passing by someone else. Should have some security check.
Very few responses
Unfortunately I had high hopes for this App. There’re plenty of guides on the App, but once you go on contacting them you realize the following:
1) very few ever respond
2) most responders use AI generated replies clearly for language barrier
3) most responders don’t follow through
4) the monthly subscription fees is ridiculous expensive to stay on the platform for long.
In my experience Tours by Locals is a far better platform.
I’ll reconsider if the subscription fees become reasonable

Tour in Tokyo
I had an unforgettable day exploring Tokyo with Hana through Showaround, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment she picked me up at 9 am to the drop-off for my Shibuya skyline at 3 pm, Hana went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing experience. We explored Asakusa, Ginza, and the Tsukiji Fish Market, even taking a memorable rickshaw ride along the way.
Hana’s extensive knowledge of Tokyo’s culture and history added so much depth to each location. Her wonderful personality and warm demeanor made the tour feel like I was exploring with a friend. She was incredibly understanding and flexible, tailoring the tour to fit my interests and ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. Hana also captured some beautiful photos, allowing me to keep these memories forever. I highly recommend Hana to anyone looking for a genuine and enriching tour of Tokyo—she truly made my day unforgettable!
I hope that all the guides I meet are as amazing as Hana.

Lots a fake profile and no security
I work as a tour guide in Buenos Aires, one bad thing is the fake profiles that hire you. Many make you indecent proposals. I have reported several, but one person in particular from Italy, who I have never met and have never traveled with, made a false report and the app does not want to remove it. There are dangerous men looking for women for other types of activities that are not tourist-related. The worst of all is that no one in the app cares to solve your problem.

I've been unexpectedly logged out of my account and can't log back in. Is there an issue with Showaround? I urgently need access because I'm planning trips and communicating with tour guides.
☠️☠️👎🏻
I loved this app when it was free, but after u started charging people, you messed the whole thing.🗿
WAY TO EXPENSIVE
59€ PER MONTH HAHAAHAH THIS IS A TURN OFF IF NOT A SCAMMER APP. RIPPING OFF TRAVELER LIKE THIS. SHAME ON YOU!
Trop cher : overprice
40€ par mois pour trouver un guide pour un séjour , prix ridiculement élevé!! Dommage
Love it
Amazing way to meet new people, make friends, earn some cash money if you decide to charge for your tours as a local, and learn about local culture firsthand if you are the one who is visiting
Not working the in box= useless app
As I wrote before it has been an excellent app and I loved it, allowing the visitor to have the assistance of a local in almost every city. It was the best: you create a trip , and the locals offer their services charging an hourly rate. I used the app always as a visitor. I have always made the payments on time and I have got excellent reviews of the guides. Unfortunately , Showaround changed for the worse . The inbox is not working and you cannot receive offers from locals. Showaround pretends to charge the visitors $25 per month. This is US$300 per year, even if you only travel once or twice a year. The app still allows you to create a trip and notifies the locals. However, Showaround blocks the offers and messages that you may receive at your inbox from locals, so the visitor can no longer hire them, and they will no longer have the possibility of work. I insist that it would be more logical and fair to charge a commission per trip. And remember : afterwards you have to pay the local. In case of few annual trips, it is better to hire a professional guide. Showaround, unless it change its policy, is a useless app for the traveler. It's a pity!

Tem que pagar pra usar qualquer função!
Por que não fazem o app pago? Deixam gratuito na loja, mas quando baixamos não podemos usar sem pagar, isso só faz as pessoas se aborrecerem :(
crashes
notifications not going through
fake
This is fake
Unverschämt teuer
Gute Idee aber in der kostenlosen Version absolut unbrauchbar…60€ pro Monat um überhaupt mal mit Menschen in Kontakt treten zu können.
