Grow your guiding business with shvil.io
A direct marketplace where travelers find licensed Israeli guides — and talk to you directly. No commission. No booking fees. No middleman between you and your traveler.
Two ways to be on shvil.io
Free profile — you're recommended
Every licensed guide can create a free profile. You appear in the shvil.io guide directory, travelers can find you by region and language, and they can reach out. Zero cost, zero commission.
Publishing tours — you stand out
Publish your own tours and this is where your work speaks for you. Your specialties, your point of view, your favourite routes, your recurring weekly options — the tours that make you you, not just another name on the list. Publishing is what separates a listing from a business.
What you get
Your own verified profile
Photo, bio, regions, languages, specialties, licence number — exactly how you want travelers to see you. Public, indexed by Google, shareable by link.
Publish your own tours & experiences
Full-day, multi-day, scheduled, recurring weekly, or on request. Prices, meeting points, what to bring — you decide. As many tours as you want.
Direct inquiries, zero commission
Travelers contact you directly by email or WhatsApp. shvil.io takes no commission on your work. What you charge is what you keep.
Write tours in your travelers' language
Our site menu is in English for now — more languages are on the way.
But your tours can be written in any language you want. Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, French, Russian, Spanish, whatever your travelers speak. If you guide Korean-speaking travelers in Jerusalem, write the tour in Korean. Write it in English too if you want a wider audience. It's your call.
The guides who stand out are the ones who speak directly to their travelers, in the words their travelers actually use.

Common questions
Do I need to be a licensed Israeli tour guide?
Yes. shvil.io lists only guides with a Ministry of Tourism licence. You'll add your licence number to your profile and we'll verify it before you go public.
How does payment work?
Secure checkout via iCount (Israeli payment processor). Credit and debit cards accepted. You'll get a proper tax invoice/receipt (חשבונית מס קבלה) emailed to you automatically.
Do you take commission on my tours?
No. Zero commission — during launch and beyond. Travelers contact you directly, and every shekel you charge is yours.
What if I want to cancel?
14-day full-refund cooling-off period from the date of payment. After 14 days, subscriptions are non-refundable for the current term. Full details in our Refund Policy.
Can I write my tours in Arabic, Korean, or another language?
Yes. You can write your tours in any language you want. Our site menu is currently English only, with more languages coming, but tour content itself is up to you. Guides who write in their travelers' language stand out.
