A peer-to-peer site has launched in the UK and internationally, allowing locals to become tour guides and give travellers ‘authentic, local experiences’.
Trip4real.com claims its network of volunteers can ‘showcase their home town better than any traditional tour guide’.
Created in Barcelon in 2013, Trip4real has become a success in Spain, with social travellers and budding micro-entrepreneurs quickly adopting the online platform as a new way to experience a city, and a new way to create activities and a source of income.
Now Trip4real is growing, launching in London as well as Paris, Rome, Lisbon and other European destinations.
Examples of experiences on offer include a personal shopping tour of Knightsbridge with a stylist and a sight-seeing drive around London with an off-duty London cabbie.
