Questions?
You can count on us - we are here to help!
What do I need to become a local host?
You need to know your city well, love sharing it with others, and be available to host regularly. A good level of English is important so you can guide international guests confidently.
How do I receive bookings?
All bookings come straight into your Withlocals host dashboard. You can easily manage incoming requests, view upcoming bookings, and track your past bookings, all in one place.
How much will I earn as a Withlocals host?
Your earnings depend on how many tours you host and what type of experiences you offer. We believe in fair pay for every host. Guests pay per tour, and we deduct a 32% service fee before sending your earnings.
How do I receive payments?
We use Stripe, a trusted global payment provider, to manage all host payouts. Once you're accepted, you'll connect your Stripe account to Withlocals through Stripe Connect. From there, you’ll receive secure, direct payments to your bank account.
Can I add my own tours & experiences to the Withlocals platform?
Yes! In addition to our Withlocals Originals experiences, you can create and offer your own unique experiences, designed around your passion and local knowledge. These custom experiences will appear on our website and be bookable by travelers worldwide. Every submission is reviewed by our team to ensure it offers something distinctive and valuable for guests. We're looking for experiences that are personal, authentic, and show a side of your city that travelers wouldn’t find on their own. If it reflects your personality and brings something new to the platform, we’d love to see it! It’s a great way to share what makes your city special, in your own way.
What if I can't find my city on the list?
If your city isn’t listed yet, it means we’re not active there right now but we’re always expanding. Choose your city, click "notify me later", and leave your email to get an alert when we open applications in your area.
