Why Guide of the Year exists

Let’s be real:


It’s not just the destination.


It’s not the accommodation.


It’s not the transport.


It’s YOU, who travelers rave about.

The guide who finds the secret sunset spot.


The guide who makes strangers feel like family, turning an adventure into a story people will tell for years.


We see you. The world should, too.


That’s why TourRadar’s Guide of the Year exists: to shine a spotlight on the absolute best guides in the organized adventures world.
