About this app

BookaFriend is a great way to meet locals in new cities and discover places with local eyes, and also a sure way to improve your travel experiences. Our local friends offer travel tips, local recommendations and make sure you get the most out of your time there while helping you save time and money. They will plan tours based on your interests and according to your budget and offer extra services. A local friend can pick you up from the airport, take you to your accommodation, drive you around the city or buy public transport tickets in advance. Local friends get paid for their time and good knowledge of the city, so everyone wins with BookaFriend!
