OurExplorer Safety Centre

The safety and security of clients is very important to OurExplorer.
Even though all tourist guides registered with OurExplorer have declared they have a certification/licence/training, we also wish to be open about potential dangers.

When meeting new people for the first time it is important to take basic safety steps e.g. ensure the meeting place is a public area such as hotel lobby, cafes, train stations etc. Do not disclose your personal accommodation details.

Notice on High Risk Countries

Due to various and changing reasons such as political instability, high crime, terrorism and social unrest; certain countries around the world are deemed “High Risk” for travel.
OurExplorer strongly suggests group travel only in these countries and extra caution and due diligence if you do decide to visit a tourist guide based in these countries.
