About Us
Connecting tourism professionals
EastguidesWest is formed by two tour directors, Barnaby Davies and Sjannie Hulsman, who have worked in tourism for many years. We love to share hands-on knowledge and experiences through training, consulting and connecting tour operators and tour guides.
Our focus is on unknown, underrated and under-valued tourism destinations around the world. We connect local tour companies and tour guides to Western tour operators. building on an ever-expanding global database.
Our story: We paid $ 5,000 for our training. However, we got that back in just two tours. We believe in investing in yourself.
Cutting Costs: $5,000 is a lot of money per person. So to make the price a fraction of that cost, we condense our training into just 3 days. And we travel to your location … so you save on travel costs. We bring affordable prices and high quality skills training to your region.
