Questions operators ask

The honest FAQ

What does LedByLocals cost?

Listing is free. We take a commission only when you get a booking — and founding-cohort operators keep up to 90% of every booking, locked in for life. No subscription, no listing fees, no exclusivity.

Who can list on LedByLocals?

Independent, locally-owned operators and guides: solo guides, families, and small companies rooted in one place. If the person in the photos is the person who shows up, you belong here. Resellers, aggregators and franchises are not accepted.

How does verification work?

Three steps: a 30-minute video call with our team, a check of your licence and insurance where applicable, and a look at your existing reviews. Most operators go live within 5 days of applying.

Do I have to leave GetYourGuide, Viator or Airbnb Experiences?

No. We require no exclusivity — keep every channel you have. Most operators use LedByLocals to reach travellers who are specifically searching for locally-owned, small-group experiences.

Who sets prices, group sizes and schedules?

You do, always. Our only rule is that group sizes stay small (12 or fewer, and most operators choose 6–8) — that is the promise the marketplace makes to travellers.

How do bookings work?

Travellers send a booking request; you confirm or decline. Nothing is charged until you confirm, and guest contact details are shared with you — the guest relationship is yours to keep.
