What you see first
An approved badge, a real rating, and a rate you see before you ask.
Every guide goes through an approval step before they show up in the directory. Their profile carries an average star rating and review count built from actual completed bookings, plus their rate per drive up front, so there’s no haggling over DMs. You know what you’re getting before you request anything.
