How SousDey works
SousDey connects travelers with real locals who share their city, culture, and favorite places. Here’s how it works for everyone.
For travelers
- Step 1
Find a local
Browse guides by city, expertise, or language. Every local is a real person who knows their city — not a scripted tour company.
- Step 2
Pick a time
Choose a date and hourly slot that fits your schedule. You book by the hour, so you decide how long your experience lasts.
- Step 3
Book & pay securely
Confirm your booking and pay through SousDey. Your spot is reserved and your local is notified right away.
- Step 4
Meet & explore
Meet your local and explore at your own pace. Stop at a café, wander a market, or change plans — it’s your experience.
For locals
- Step 1
Create your profile
Sign up as a local guide, add your cities, expertise, languages, and hourly rate. Travelers discover you from your profile.
- Step 2
Receive requests
When a traveler books you, you get a request you can accept or decline. You’re always in control of your calendar.
- Step 3
Get paid
Lead the experience and get paid for your time. Payouts are handled by the SousDey team through your chosen method.
- Step 4
Build your reputation
Travelers leave reviews after each tour. Great ratings help you stand out and get booked more often.
Why explore with a local?
Unlike fixed-group tours, exploring with a local gives you the freedom to go at your own pace. If a market, a quiet street, or a small café catches your eye, you simply stop. Your experience can be spontaneous, flexible, and shaped around what you actually want to see — from famous landmarks to the hidden spots tourists usually miss.
