What we’re about
Welcome to Be Original Tours — a global community of passionate local guides and curious travellers. We’re not just another tour company — we’re a movement that celebrates culture, creativity, and genuine human connection.
For more than a decade, we’ve been redefining what travel means. Founded in 2010, Be Original Tours has grown into one of the fastest-growing independent travel communities worldwide — with millions of travellers exploring cities across Europe, Asia, and beyond through our unique, locally-led experiences. Whether it’s a historic walking tour, a street art adventure, or a culinary journey through local flavours, our tours go beyond the guidebook. Every experience is led by a passionate local who brings their city to life through personal stories, insider insights, and a touch of authenticity you won’t find anywhere else.
What Makes Us Different:
We’re built on one simple idea: real travel is about people. Our network of independent guides aren’t just hosts — they’re storytellers, artists, historians, and locals who love sharing their city with the world. We connect travellers directly with these guides through our online platform and live chat feature, creating meaningful experiences that feel less like a tour — and more like exploring with a friend. At Be Original Tours, we’ve built a community-driven ecosystem that empowers locals to design and lead their own creative experiences. This independence allows every tour to be fresh, authentic, and truly original — no cookie-cutter itineraries, no mass tourism.
Our Mission:
We believe travel should be rewarding, social, and sustainable. By cutting out the middleman, we help travellers support local experts directly, ensuring every experience benefits the people and places you visit. Our goal is simple — to make the world feel a little smaller, one original connection at a time.
Join the Movement:
With over 10 million experiences shared globally, Be Original Tours continues to grow as a hub for authentic cultural exchange. Whether you’re a traveller seeking something real — or a local guide ready to share your passion with the world — our platform is here to connect you.
