Conclusion:

This is a legitimate website that allows you to work as a freelance agent or travel agent in your own country. You may join the site, offer travel packages and deals to anyone traveling to your specific location. The company handles collecting the payment and paying you directly to your bank account, 24 hours after you’ve completed your tour. Furthermore, as a free agent, insider, or guide, you can set your own prices, make your own schedules, and accept or decline any client you wish.

The company is very unclear about the payment and if they withhold a percentage of your earnings for their services. If you live in a country they haven’t yet arranged a direct deposit with, it is unclear how they’ll pay you for your services. Considering the company is collecting the fees upfront for your services, you’ll rely on them for your pay. The company states in the rules that it is not possible for you to arrange payment from the client directly to you.
