Welcome to Guides4me
Imagine having someone truly looking out for you every step of your journey. Someone who puts your safety, comfort, and wellbeing above all else. Someone who speaks your language, understands your needs, and knows the local streets like the back of their hand. Travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming, and the right support can make all the difference.
When you arrive somewhere new, wouldn’t it be incredible to feel instantly at ease? To know exactly where to find the nearest ATM, the best local shops, authentic food spots, hidden gems only locals know about. Also, enjoy private shore excursions that turn every stop into a personalised adventure? What you need isn’t just directions. You need your own LGBT friendly local guide, someone passionate about making your experience unforgettable from the moment you arrive.

What sparked the birth of Guides4me?
The unstoppable rise of solo travellers and the growing demand for authentic shore excursions. People of all ages, from every corner of the world, are choosing to explore independently. From immersing themselves in new cultures to trekking through breathtaking mountain valleys or stepping off a cruise ship ready to discover something extraordinary, solo travel is one of the most powerful ways to truly connect with a destination. That’s exactly why Guides4me.com exists, created to give solo travellers and cruise guests the confidence, local insight, and unforgettable shore experiences they deserve.
Why Choose a Guides4me Private Shore Excursion?
From MSC to Viking, from Dubai to Dubrovnik, from The Caribbean to the River Danube, Guides4me.com works alongside the world’s leading cruise lines. Our guides meet you directly at the port and return you to your ship on time – every time.
But unlike large cruise tours, our experiences are smaller, more personal, and much better value for money. You’ll enjoy private attention, flexibility, and genuine local insights you’ll never get on a bus tour.
Why Travellers Love Guides4me Shore Excursions
• Personal, private, and affordable tours
• Trusted, handpicked local tour excursion guides
• 100% tailor-made experiences
• Small groups for a relaxed, friendly feel
• Easy booking with full cruise schedule awareness
Where Are We Based?
Guides4me operates from two strategic locations, Gibraltar and Sri Lanka,. Therefore, allowing us to serve travellers and partners across a vast range of global time zones. With teams positioned in both Europe and Asia, we’re able to respond quickly, provide extended coverage, and support our clients efficiently wherever they are in the world.
Want to Partner With Us or Work With Us?
We’re always open to building strong partnerships and welcoming passionate local guides to our growing global network. If you’re interested in collaborating, partnering, or joining Guides4me, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact us at info@guides4me.com.
All Our Guides Are Proudly LGBTQ+ Friendly
At Guides4me, inclusivity isn’t a statement—it’s a standard. Whether you’re straight, gay, bisexual, or part of the wider LGBTQ+ community, you’ll be welcomed, respected, and supported. Every guide we work with is carefully selected for their open-minded, inclusive attitude. Some may even be part of the LGBTQ+ community themselves, but what truly matters is that you feel comfortable, understood, and free to be yourself.
When booking, you’re welcome to share as much or as little as you like about your preferences. If you’re interested in exploring nightlife, for example, letting us know what kind of scene you’d enjoy can help us tailor the experience. Whether that’s Lisbon’s vibrant LGBTQ+ hotspots or a more traditional local scene elsewhere in the world. Whatever your sexuality, Guides4me provides a trusted, friendly local companion for you and your partner, so you can travel confidently and authentically.
Who travels alone?
Solo travellers come from every walk of life and every generation. From first-time backpackers chasing adventure to busy professionals escaping the daily grind, from over-60s embracing the freedom of retirement to millennials maximising their precious annual leave. Independent travel is a fast-growing movement. It’s not just about long-haul trips either; many solo explorers are stepping off cruise ships in search of meaningful, well-curated shore excursions that offer authentic, personal experiences beyond the typical tourist trail.
One of the biggest myths is that you have to be single to travel alone, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Many solo travellers have partners or families at home; they simply crave independence, personal challenge, or destinations others may not wish to visit. Whether it’s a cultural bucket-list tour, a food and wine discovery, a high-energy adventure, or a memorable shore excursion in a new port, solo travel is about freedom, confidence, and creating your own unforgettable journey.
