I think something like this is needed, but I question the need for an actual tour guide.
What if I wanted to go to Vancouver and I wanted a walking tour with some great food and drinks, with some idle time spent at a couple parks or walking around a museum? That's a pretty typical ask and something I'd gladly pay $10 for in order to just get a list of things to visit in a sensible order (so I can just walk along a set path from place to place). As a local of Vancouver I could create my own "poutine, cocktails, and parks" guide, post it, and get some commission every time its sold.

How will you recruit guides?
