The right guide for every tour
Stop scrolling through contact lists and hoping someone is available. The matching algorithm scores every guide on qualifications, availability, and expertise, then ranks them for your specific tour.

3-layer scoring
Guide Pool
Three layers, one ranked list
Finding the right guide isn't just about who's free. It's about who speaks the right languages, holds the right certifications, is actually available on your dates, and fits the guide role you need. The algorithm evaluates all of it.
- Qualification gateLanguages, certifications, guide role, availability, and duration fit. The algorithm scores these dimensions and penalizes hard mismatches. If a guide doesn't speak the required language, their score drops sharply.
- Preference contextActivity types, regions, and group types are shown alongside the score so you can see the full picture. A guide who scores 90% on qualifications but has never worked your region is still worth considering.
- Expertise depthGlacier guiding is different from city walking tours. Subject-area expertise and tour-type depth are flagged separately so you can factor specialization into your staffing and rate decisions.

See the score, understand the fit
The ranked list is your starting point. From there, compare candidates side by side, spot the gaps worth working around, and start the hiring conversation without leaving the page.
- Side-by-side comparisonPull up two candidates and compare them against the same requirements. Who has the certifications? Who is available? Where does each guide fall short? Decide with data, not gut feel.
- Toggle and recalculateChange a requirement and watch scores update in real time. Need a German-speaking guide instead of French? Toggle the language and the ranking reshuffles instantly.
- Gap visibilitySee exactly what each guide is missing. A guide who matches on everything except vehicle access is worth knowing about. Maybe you can provide the vehicle.

A foundation for smarter staffing
Every tour you run through Guide Connect adds to a growing dataset. Verified credentials, availability patterns, and tour history create a richer picture of your guide network over time.
- Verified track recordGuide profiles accumulate verified certifications, completed tours, and agency reviews. The more a guide works through the platform, the more complete their professional record becomes.
- Your working relationshipsGuides you've hired before are flagged with context badges showing how often you've worked together and for which tour types. Familiar faces surface with context, not just a score.
