HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (8.8 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Local was great and helpful!
★★★★★ It's definitely useful when traveling to another country solo!
★★★★★ Showaround is a great tool that connects locals with travellers. The best traveling experience is to connect with someone who lives in the area. They always know the best places to go, see and eat. Highly recommend…

Outrageous Cost

To contact local guides the app is charging me $51.99 for 3 (yes THREE) days (yes DAYS). $51.99 FOR 3 DAYS?!?! I could see that for a year. Maybe even a month. That would be over $500USD PER MONTH just to fund a local tour guide. There are other apps people.

★★★★★Dec 19, 2025
Continues to charge and refuses to refund

They keep charging your account after cancelation, I had $200 in charges!

Very few responses

Unfortunately I had high hopes for this App. There’re plenty of guides on the App, but once you go on contacting them you realize the following: 1) very few ever respond 2) most responders use AI generated replies clearly for language barrier 3) most responders don’t follow through 4) the monthly subscription fees is ridiculous expensive to stay on the platform for long. In my experience Tours by Locals is a far better platform. I’ll reconsider if the subscription fees become reasonable

Tour in Tokyo

I had an unforgettable day exploring Tokyo with Hana through Showaround, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment she picked me up at 9 am to the drop-off for my Shibuya skyline at 3 pm, Hana went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing experience. We explored Asakusa, Ginza, and the Tsukiji Fish Market, even taking a memorable rickshaw ride along the way. Hana’s extensive knowledge of Tokyo’s culture and history added so much depth to each location. Her wonderful personality and warm demeanor made the tour feel like I was exploring with a friend. She was incredibly understanding and flexible, tailoring the tour to fit my interests and ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. Hana also captured some beautiful photos, allowing me to keep these memories forever. I highly recommend Hana to anyone looking for a genuine and enriching tour of Tokyo—she truly made my day unforgettable! I hope that all the guides I meet are as amazing as Hana.

Lots a fake profile and no security

I work as a tour guide in Buenos Aires, one bad thing is the fake profiles that hire you. Many make you indecent proposals. I have reported several, but one person in particular from Italy, who I have never met and have never traveled with, made a false report and the app does not want to remove it. There are dangerous men looking for women for other types of activities that are not tourist-related. The worst of all is that no one in the app cares to solve your problem.
