Getting your first experience live

The main way to start hosting on Withlocals is by joining a Withlocals Originals experience. These are curated experiences built by the Withlocals team for specific cities. You pick one that fits you, join it, and start receiving bookings.

How to join a Withlocals Originals experience

  1. Open Experiences in your host dashboard.

  2. Go to the Recommendations tab to see the Originals experiences available in your area.

  3. Open a recommendation to read the full details: itinerary, starting times, meeting point, and minimum price per booking.

  4. If you're eligible, tap Join experience and confirm.

Once you join, the experience appears under your active experiences and guests can start booking you for it.

What you share with other hosts

Withlocals Originals are shared experiences. The title, description, itinerary, photos, meeting point, and price are set by the Withlocals team. You and the other hosts on the experience all use the same listing. Guests choose which host they want when they book.

You cannot edit the shared details. If something needs to change (a closed venue, an updated route), contact the Withlocals team.

License requirements

Some Originals experiences require a local tour license. If that applies, you see a notice on the recommendation. Add your license under your host profile before you can join. See Host licensing and permits.

Good to know

  • In some cases, the Withlocals team may invite you to create your own host offer. If that happens, you receive instructions on how to submit it for review.

  • You can host more than one Originals experience at the same time.
