A simpler way to book private guides

Oak connects guests with certified IFMGA guides through one clear request. No scattered emails, Instagram DMs, or unclear pricing. Guides stay in control of the requests they receive and can send a clear offer with dates, price, and what’s included.

Private guiding, made easier to book

Instead of guests searching across guide offices, websites, emails, and Instagram DMs, Oak lets them make one clear request for a certified guide. We match that request with relevant Mountain Guides based on location, sport, dates, and experience level. Guides can then respond with a clear offer covering availability, price, and what’s included.
