Lots of improvements
The app has been getting updated a lot. It is much better than it was.
Great concept - Terrible App
This app is awful! The sign-in method in insecure. The buttons don’t work. It crashes. It doesn’t fit a normal sized phone’s screen. Come on, guys. You can do better. Don’t let your guide community down.
No saved options
I really love this app and I have used it in different countries. My only issue is that it should be an option where you can save your favorites or create your wish list
Keeps freezing
Useless
Muy práctica hasta la versión anterior
Hicieron una actualización en la que se perdió la facilidad de buscar por fecha y ver los horarios desde la primer pantalla
Excelente!!
Cada tours que he echo con ellos ha sido perfecto y muy interesante, altamente recomendado
App is horrifically bad
The app crashes and won’t let me leave reviews. Absolutely terrible coding.
SPP is glitchy
Is it just me? Or is this app glitchy? Difficulty trying to press on items to advance and search through pages etc. This has happened before. As far as the tours go. This works well.
Utilizzo impossibile per chi ci lavora
È una bella idea e il concetto funziona, ma l’app è fatta troppo male: troppi bug, non posso quasi utilizzarla sul mio iPhone, non ricevo le notifiche e non posso inviare messaggi. Devo sempre lavorare da pc. Oggi ho perso lavoro per colpa di tutti questi problemi e probabilmente riceverò delle cattive recensioni e dei feedback negativi, perché ho avuto delle prenotazioni non notificate. E per di più se cancello mi verrebbero date delle penalità… Non va bene, se volete essere seri e severi con chi ci lavora siate voi i primi a comportarvi da professionisti.
Dani
Es buena, pero yo ahora la uso como plataforma complementaria a otras para anunciarme, últimamente se está moviendo peligrosamente hacía ser el "glovo" de los guías. Si las condiciones del guía se vuelven muy precarias, la calidad de los tours se ve afectada. Por una parte, me cobran 123€ por cada 50 adultos que vienen, unos 360€ al mes en mi caso, por otro lado cualquier reseña que no sea de 5 estrellas que es la puntuación máxima te resta puntuación y además te resta más de la que sumas asique necesitas varías reseñas al máximo para recuperar, al asistente la reseña de 4 estrellas que le aparece como "mejor de lo que esperaba" y piensan que te apoyan pero en realidad te resta puntuación. Al final eso premia dar los máximos tours posibles para recuperar puntuación de prestigio y para poder rentabilizar económicamente.
Great Tour Guides
I don’t know how Guru does it, but every tour guide I’ve booked through my travels around Europe has been amazing. The app occasionally glitches when I open my bookings, but the quality of tours, guides, and messaging ability is well worth the few times the app glitches out.
Glitchy app and unsolicited emails
I downloaded this app to see the free tours options in a city I was visiting. The same day I downloaded, I started receiving promotional emails. I don’t like that. There is no option to remove or unsubscribe to promotional emails. Deleted app immediately.
message to travelers
as a tour guide, this app is so unbelievably slow and barely works to check in and cancel people to travelers, if you see an interesting tour GO TO THE TOURS WEBSITE. we have to pay per person that shows up while it’s free from other sites like viator, getyourguide, or the companies own website also we can see on our end whether or not you no show tours and we can thumbs up or thumbs down yall. idk if it does anything but just don’t be an ahole cus we can see it
App issue when map is opened
As soon a so open the map, I can’t find the way to cancel it and go back to the trip details
Great Guru walks
I have used guru walks in different countries and they have always been fab. Really friendly funny guides with interesting knowledge and entertaining stories about the places. Great value for money for all budgets. Would highly recommend!!
Do NOT download
App crashes my phone just with one notification. Had to hard reset my iPhone. Do not get!
Struggling here
I’ve had to delete the app as it’s not showing my bookings and won’t let me add a second email. I hope if I reinstall it will work properly
Cool app
The platform allows for quick booking of free walking tour which is perfect for getting to know new places through the eyes of locals and for meeting new people.
Poor performance
Very poor performance of the app. The design leaves a lot to be desired too.
Great tours , bad app
The tours are great. The app is buggy, slow, and frustrating to use.
Free walking tour off Cordoba centre
My wife and I took the walking tour 1pm. today with Angel who speaks English very well. He is an excellent guide , very knowledgeable and informative and interesting. We visited places that you would not know about in the little narrow alleyways off the centre. We can recommend him highly. Terry & Sally Wright from Uk.
Doesn’t work
The app crashes every time on an iPhone 15. It will not let me select a date and then it immediately crashes
Great concept, bad app.
The app is super laggy, with almost a three second delay between navigating pages. I was also super unimpressed by receiving several emails and I only installed the app yesterday. There’s also no unsubscribe button on the email so now I have more SPAM. Sorry guru walks. Will be taking my business elsewhere and using websites
Life changer app for travelers!
As a tour guide from Saigon 🇻🇳 I can confidently say that Guruwalk is the perfect app for any traveler looking to explore a new city. This app lets you discover the hidden gems of a city by taking you on a free walking tour with a local guide who knows all the ins and outs of the area. The app is user-friendly, and booking a tour is a breeze. You can choose from a variety of tours that suit your interests and schedule. The best part about Guruwalk is that it's free! You get to experience the city like a local without breaking the bank.
Stuck at email link/verify
Nothing but an endless spinning circle when I tried twice to click the the links emailed to me!
Isabel
We had Max as our tour guide - tour "Who murdered Caravaggio". Max is an exceptional guide: has deep knowledge of history, art, Italy. Was keeping our interest every minute. Very professional and polite. Answers all questions. Great tour with a great guide!!!
Terrible app, terrible service
Avoid booking through this app at all costs. It crashes constantly and is very clunky. iPad app is the worst. If you want a walking tour look at the start time and meeting point and just go there. You will save the tour operator $3/person! Once this app becomes more reliable than it’ll be worth the referral fee. Until then let the venture capital people continue to fund this app
Walk in Izmir
Had a lovely guid Gec she gave us a great tour of Izmir.She was informative and alive l lady .I will definately use again when I’m Travelling .
Buggy and unreliable guided in Guatemala
The app is buggy and annoying to use. The “gurus” in Guatemala didn’t confirm the tours even though they advertised certain days/times. Two gurus that did confirm the bookings canceled last minute. I ended up hiring a normal tourist agency guide who charged about the same or less than what these gurus would’ve excepted in tips
Brilliant app
We went on 2 walking tour in Rome, they were both brilliant. Definitely going to be using again.
Stupid
Complete waste of my time. Book a walk. Host doesn’t reply. Remove this app!
