The deal, in plain language.

Guído is a booking marketplace: we connect travelers with independent local tour guides on Siquijor and pass booking requests between you.

Guides on Guído are independent — they are not Guído's employees, and Guído does not operate, lead, or supervise any tour. The agreement for the tour itself is between you and your guide.

We verify every guide's government ID before their profile goes live, and we only allow reviews from completed bookings. That's real effort toward trust — but it is not a guarantee of any tour's quality, safety, or outcome. Use the same good judgment you would anywhere.

Guído does not process payments. You pay your guide directly, in person. Any price shown on the site is set by the guide.

Guído is completely free for travelers and guides during our pilot. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly before it does.

What we collect: your name, email, and phone number (for tourist accounts and bookings); guides additionally provide profile details, photos, tours, and — for identity verification — a photo of their government ID and a selfie holding it. Verification photos are stored privately, are only ever seen by the Guído team, never appear anywhere on the site, and are kept while the guide's account is active.

Why we collect it: to run bookings — your name and phone are shared with the guide you book (and theirs with you) so you can actually meet. That's the whole point.

What we don't do: sell your data, send you marketing you didn't ask for, or share your details with anyone who isn't part of your booking.

Where it lives: our database is hosted with Supabase, a professional cloud database provider. You can ask us to delete your account and data anytime via the Contact page.

Only travelers with a completed, accepted booking can review that tour. Reviews should be honest and about the tour experience. We may remove reviews that are abusive, fake, or unrelated, and guides may post one public reply to each review.

Guído is a small, young service run from Siquijor. We work hard to keep it accurate and online, but we provide it "as is" — occasional bugs, downtime, or guide cancellations can happen, and Guído isn't liable for losses arising from a tour or a guide-traveler dispute (though we'll always try to help resolve one — just contact us).

These terms may be updated as Guído grows; the date below always tells you when they last changed.
