Why guide with Rickshaw.app?
We built this platform for guides first — because great sustainable travel starts with great local people.
Your schedule, your rules
Set your own availability and accept only the bookings that work for you. No minimum hours, no pressure, no algorithm deciding your worth. You are an independent guide — we just give you the tools.
Transparent, fair earnings
Keep the majority of every booking. We charge a small, clearly stated platform fee and nothing else — no surprise deductions, no hidden commissions. Your earnings are yours.
Lead the sustainable travel movement
Every tour you lead on a rickshaw, e-bike or walking route is a direct contribution to reducing urban CO₂ emissions. Our guides are ambassadors for smart, low-carbon mobility — and travellers specifically seek them out for it.
Share your culture, not a script
We do not give you a script. We give you a platform to share your genuine local knowledge — the neighbourhood stories, the hidden spots, the living culture that only a true local knows. That authenticity is what our travellers pay for.
A real guide community
Connect with fellow guides across cities, share tips and join regular meetups and training sessions. You are never just a profile on our platform — you are part of a growing community of people who believe travel can be better.
Smart booking tools
Manage your calendar, communicate with guests and track your earnings — all from one simple, mobile-friendly dashboard. Less admin, more guiding.
