Experience categories

When you build a host offer, you pick an experience type and a subcategory. These two fields determine where your experience shows up on Withlocals and which extra fields the offer form asks you to fill in.

Experience types

There are two experience types in the host offer form:

  • Tours

  • Activities

Pick the one that best matches the shape of your offer.

Subcategories

The subcategory options depend on the type you picked.

Tours

  • Food tours

  • City highlight tours

  • Off the beaten track

  • Night tours

  • Skip the line tours

  • Day trips

  • Multi day trips

  • Photo tours

  • Shopping tours

  • Art & culture tours

  • Wine & beer tours

Activities

  • Home dinners

  • Cooking classes

  • Workshops

  • Sport & leisure

  • Wildlife & nature

  • Food & drink tastings

If you pick a food-related subcategory (home dinners, cooking classes, food tours, food & drink tastings), you also see fields for meals and cuisines.

Where to set this

  1. Open Experiences in your host dashboard and edit your host offer.

  2. Go to the Your offer step.

  3. Pick the experience type and subcategory.

  4. Save your changes.

Withlocals Originals

On a Withlocals Originals experience, the type and subcategory are set by the Withlocals team and not editable by the host.

Good to know

  • The experience type and subcategory are part of the curation review. The team may suggest a different subcategory if it fits your offer better.

  • Tags on an experience page are managed by the Withlocals team, not by hosts. You can't add or remove them from the host offer form.
