Sign in with Google
Use your Google account to sign up or sign in, and make sure it creates the right account type.

Google sign-in is a fast alternative to creating an email and password — but for new accounts, it's important to choose the right account type before you click the button.
Signing up new with Google
On the sign-up page, select Traveler or Guide first, then choose Continue with Google. Whichever tab is selected is the type of account that gets created. If you'd rather sign up as a guide, make sure the Guide tab is selected before continuing with Google — starting from the general sign-in page instead will create a traveler account by default.
Signing in with an existing Google account
If you already have an account, use Continue with Google on the sign-in page. This signs you into your existing account with whichever role it already has — traveler or guide — without asking you to choose again.
No security check needed
Because Google has already verified your identity and email address, you won't be asked to complete the on-site security check or a separate email confirmation when using Google.
If Google creates the wrong type of account
If you meant to sign up as a guide but ended up with a traveler account, contact us and we'll help sort it out rather than leaving you with the wrong account type.
Still need help?
