Mountain Bike Guides is a free directory of certified mountain bike guides around the world. You can find a local guide wherever you travel, read reviews from other riders and contact the guide directly – so you ride the best local trails with someone who knows them.
Yes, for riders: searching for a guide and sending enquiries is completely free. Guides get their first listing free too; only guides who add extra listings (for example a business with several locations) pay a small yearly fee. We don’t take booking fees or commission.
Type a place in the search box or press Near me, then narrow the results by what you are looking for (guided tours, lessons, e-bike rentals…), ride type and the language the guide speaks. The map shows every guide in the area you are looking at.
Open the guide’s profile and use the Contact this guide form, or call or visit their website. Your message goes straight to the guide, who replies to you by email. Prices, dates and payment are agreed directly between you and the guide – we don’t take bookings or payments.
Tell them your riding level, the size of your group and your dates. It’s worth asking what is included (bike, protective gear, transfers, food), whether e-bikes are available, how long the rides are, what their cancellation policy is and whether they are insured.
We don’t, but many guides do. Look for Rentals or E-bikes available on a guide’s profile, or ask the guide when you get in touch.
We don’t provide insurance. Mountain biking has risks, so make sure you have travel or accident insurance that covers mountain biking, and ask your guide about theirs. See our Terms of Service.
Because bookings and payments are made directly with the guide, refunds are between you and the guide – please contact them first. If you still have a problem, let us know: we take complaints seriously and may remove guides who don’t meet our standards.
Open the guide’s profile and use the review form at the bottom of the page – you don’t need an account. Every review is checked before it appears. Fake, offensive or promotional reviews are removed.
The guide has sent us proof of their guiding qualification and we have checked it.
Certified mountain bike guides and guiding businesses. Bike schools, bike parks and rental shops that work with guides are welcome too.
Our listings are for qualified guides, so riders can trust the people they ride with. When you add your listing you can upload your guiding certificate or diploma – it is only visible to us and earns you the Verified badge.

Open your listing and click Claim this listing. Once we have confirmed that it’s yours, you can edit it from your dashboard.
When a rider uses the contact form on your profile, we email the message to you and you reply to the rider directly. You can also see your latest enquiries in your dashboard. Messages that look like spam are filtered out.
You choose. Your phone number, website, booking link and social media are shown on your profile. Your enquiry email address is never shown publicly.
Yes, as often as you like: go to My account and click Edit next to your listing.
Yes. One listing per account is free. If your business works in different locations, you can add a separate listing for each one – every extra listing costs a small yearly fee, shown before you pay and paid securely by card. You can cancel at any time; the extra listing then simply goes offline. Listings you already had stay free. Running lots of locations? Contact us.
Complete listings are found more often and get more messages. Add a bright cover photo and at least 3 gallery photos, a description of your rides, your starting price and season, the languages you speak and your pin on the map.
Paste the link to your YouTube or Vimeo video into the video field – that’s it.
No – for security, the description is plain text. Leave an empty line to start a new paragraph.
On the login page choose Email me a login link and we’ll send you a link that logs you straight in. If you signed up with Google or Facebook, just use that button again.
Both are in your dashboard under Your account & data. Deleting your account removes your listings, photos and enquiries for good.
