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

To contact local guides the app is charging me $51.99 for 3 (yes THREE) days (yes DAYS). $51.99 FOR 3 DAYS?!?! I could see that for a year. Maybe even a month. That would be over $500USD PER MONTH just to fund a local tour guide. There are other apps people.
