A driver for the day, a private boat to hop between islands, a guide for a trek: many activities cost the same for one person or four. Sharing them with other travelers splits the bill, and often makes for a better day.
Which activities are best to share?
- Day drivers and transfers (airport, long drives).
- Private boats: sea trips, island tours, river cruises.
- Private guides for a visit or a trek.
- Rentals: a car, a minibus, a house for a weekend.
- Safaris and 4x4 trips, often priced per vehicle.
Where to find travelers to share with?
On Globamigo, post a search with the destination, date and activity: “Boat for the island tour on the 14th, 3 seats left”. Travelers there on the same dates see it and can write to you in their language, with automatic translation. You can also ask your guide or host whether they know other interested travelers.
Agree on everything before booking
- The total price and each person's share, including what's covered (fuel, entry fees, meals, tip).
- The departure time and place.
- The plan: who wants to stop where, and for how long.
- What happens if someone cancels or is late.
Book directly with the professional
Contact the guide, driver or rental company directly: you know the exact price, you can ask your questions and the professional gets the full amount. On Globamigo, guides and places to stay are contacted with no commission.
Good habits
- Check the professional's reviews and the profiles of the travelers joining you.
- Set the meeting point in a public place.
- Keep a written record of what was agreed.
- Pay your share to the professional or on the day, never in advance to a stranger.
Sharing a tour means paying less, but it also means meeting people who love traveling the way you do. Because the world is meant to be shared.
