How it works
Find an activity
Browse our library of authentic and exciting activities and find an activity you like.
You can ask questions and communicate with locals directly on the activity page.
Request a date
Send a booking request for a specific date and time. The local then checks their availability.
Local accepts
The local either accepts the request or offers an alternative date and time. They also answer your questions or comments if you had any.
Finalize your booking
Once the local accepted your request you have 5 days to book the activity by paying the service fee to secure your booking.
Enjoy, then pay
Enjoy your time and pay the local (normally after the activity, if not agreed upon otherwise).
Write a review
By writing a review and rating the activity you are helping other travelers to choose an activity that really fits their interest.
