A good journey starts with trust.
General safety guidance for meeting independent local guides. No current demo profile is verified or available to contact.
Check before you connect
Before any future arrangement, check a guide’s identity, relevant credentials, and local licensing requirements yourself. Never assume a profile or badge is a guarantee of safety.
Agree on the details
Discuss the itinerary, price, inclusions, accessibility, transport, cancellation arrangements, and meeting point clearly in advance. Keep a record of what you agree.
Protect yourself and your information
Meet in a public place, tell someone you trust about your plans, and avoid sharing unnecessary personal or financial information. Be cautious about requests for unusual payments.
In an emergency
Contact local emergency services immediately. Trekko is not an emergency response service. Research the correct emergency numbers for your destination before you travel.
