Gidsy goes Global + Adds New Social Features

It seems no accident that Gidsy’s launch-wave of a whole new batch of features is dubbed “Columbus”. The great explorer went out to conquer the world and acquired new skills along the way - and no lesser are the ambitions of the Berlin-based team around the Dekker brothers. From today on the marketplace for authentic experiences lifts the city-tied approach and is available in every tiny town. Meaning: no matter where you live, everybody is able to offer experiences on the Gidsy platform and find their audience.  The new release also includes search functions to improve discovery and more social features to better promote your activities and connect with the like-minded people on your ‘gig’. Read all about it on the blog.

A very smart move, as it turns Gidsy into a true global marketplace and puts the opportunity into the hands of the community. Over the last months since its launch, Gidsy has become a central destination to find stuff to do and things learn that go well beyond insider city tours. When we interviewed Edial Dekker a couple of weeks ago about his favourite hot spots and hidden gems in his ‘Wahlheimat’ Berlin, he also gave us a snapshot of some Gidsy experiences.

Here’s a small selection:
