User Reviews

Showaround can provide authentic local tours and useful connections when it works, but recurring issues undermine its value: costly subscription and billing problems, safety risks from fake profiles, frequent app reliability problems, and weak customer support. These factors appear repeatedly across reviews, limiting trust and overall reliability.

Pros

Authentic, knowledgeable local guides deliver memorable experiences (e.g., Hana in Tokyo, Agnes in Budapest).
Easy-to-use app interface and straightforward messaging when the system is functioning.
Good potential to meet locals and get personalized tours, enriching travel experiences.

Cons

Expensive, subscription-based pricing with ongoing charges and difficult/unreliable cancellation/billing.
Safety concerns due to fake profiles and inappropriate proposals.
Frequent technical problems (inbox not working, login issues, notifications failing, bugs).
Poor customer support with unhelpful or AI-like responses.

Recent reviews

They keep charging your account after cancelation, I had $200 in charges!

Unfortunately I had high hopes for this App. There’re plenty of guides on the App, but once you go on contacting them you realize the following: 1) very few ever respond 2) most responders use AI generated replies clearly for language barrier 3) most responders don’t follow through 4) the monthly subscription fees is ridiculous expensive to stay on the platform for long. In my experience Tours by Locals is a far better platform. I’ll reconsider if the subscription fees become reasonable

I had an unforgettable day exploring Tokyo with Hana through Showaround, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment she picked me up at 9 am to the drop-off for my Shibuya skyline at 3 pm, Hana went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing experience. We explored Asakusa, Ginza, and the Tsukiji Fish Market, even taking a memorable rickshaw ride along the way. Hana’s extensive knowledge of Tokyo’s culture and history added so much depth to each location. Her wonderful personality and warm demeanor made the tour feel like I was exploring with a friend. She was incredibly understanding and flexible, tailoring the tour to fit my interests and ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. Hana also captured some beautiful photos, allowing me to keep these memories forever. I highly recommend Hana to anyone looking for a genuine and enriching tour of Tokyo—she truly made my day unforgettable! I hope that all the guides I meet are as amazing as Hana.
