The 'Kolu' App Finds Travelers the Best Person to Show Them Around
Michael Hemsworth — May 22, 2018 — World
Finding a travel guide in a city that you're visiting usually consists of simply seeing who's available once you arrive, but the 'Kolu' app aims to help make the process more personal and customized.
The app works by having travelers find a guide that is close to their age, speaks the same language(s) and who also shares some of their interests. This enables guides to offer travelers with the best possible experience rather than simply offering a generic tour that might not be as relevant to what the person is looking for.
The 'Kolu' app can be used prior to arriving in a location to let you see who's available, what you can do and have a quick chat before meeting to get things in order.
