Our guide code of conduct

Rainbow Tour Guides is a marketplace for private tours — not a dating or hookup platform. Every guide agrees to the following before their application is reviewed, and these standards apply for as long as you're guiding on the platform.

What you agree to

• Provide an LGBTQ+-affirming experience. You commit to creating a safe, welcoming environment for queer travelers.
• Treat everyone with respect. No hate speech, harassment, discrimination, threats, coercion, fraud, or illegal conduct — toward travelers or anyone else you interact with through the platform.
• No sexual services, ever. This is strict and non-negotiable. You will not offer, imply, or agree to provide sexual services under any circumstances. This applies to every tour, every conversation, and every booking.
• Keep payments on the platform. Requesting or accepting payment outside Rainbow Tour Guides — instead of through a booking — isn't allowed and can put your account at risk.
• Maintain professional boundaries while still being warm and personable — that balance is what makes a great guide.

Why this matters

These rules protect travelers who are trusting a stranger to show them a city, and they protect you as a guide meeting people you don't know. A platform that's clearly and consistently not for hookups is safer for everyone, and it's core to what Rainbow Tour Guides is.

If something goes wrong

If a traveler behaves inappropriately, makes you uncomfortable, or asks for anything outside the scope of a tour, you don't have to handle it alone. See Report a safety concern and Stay safe on your tour.
