Tours By Locals connects travellers with local people who can show them around.

Potential tour guides are interviewed by Tours By Locals to check credentials (for the ‘traditional’ kind of history/cultural tour) or …

“If the guide is simply escorting travelers and offering practical local advice, such as ‘how to cook a local meal’ or ‘nightlife of a city’ they may be a passionate local person without any formal training in tour guiding. Guides offering this sort of tour must go through the ToursByLocals approval process of interview and reference checking.”

So a potential interesting sideline if you’ve got some local knowledge or an idea that you could replicate for your own local market.
