I wanted to start this exact company. When I learned about Vayable I was a little disappointed. But I hope they succeed because this idea done right is something the world needs.
Anyone who has overpaid for a Kilimanjaro hike, a Serengeti safari, a Rajasthan camel trek, a driver and guide in Mongolia or had any of the thousands of other opportunities to pay 4x as much for half the experience knows this. I hope they really focus on connecting local guides and tourists rather than just become a marketplace for overpriced mega tour groups.
Most of the best guides don't know how or can't market themselves, especially online. Most potential travelers don't know where to start to find them or don't trust themselves to find the right one.
So best of luck to Vayable and please make sure to make it a service that empowers locals and doesn't circumvent them.

That's exactly our goal -- you've pretty much captured the problem we're trying to solve.
