We start by asking what the customer wants, not telling them what we can offer.

Local tour operators: the opportunity to connect directly with inbound travellers pre-arrival.

Tour guides: use local knowledge in a different way and help visitors to plan the perfect trip 1-to-1, online before they arrive.

How we compliment existing services

Visitors Tripbod“For his 18th birthday I gave my son a trip of a lifetime to learn ‘krumping’– Tripbod made that possible”

- Charlie R, PR Agency founder

“We had complete insider knowledge even though we didn’t speak a word of the local language!”

- Catherine S, teacher

“What a brilliant experience, we went as a family of four…the whole trip was tailored around what we could do… the highlight being an expedition across the frozen river and through the woods”

- Tina B, Mum of three

“I wanted to experience and write about a different side to the destination– a local Tripbod was all I needed. Fantastic.”

- Dan L, Editor Wanderlust Magazine

“As more of the world becomes 'discovered', the real thrill of travel and tourism becomes meeting people

who live in and love a particular destination and can pass that enthusiasm and detailed knowledge on. It's

not easy to find guides of this kind and tap into their wisdom, but Tripbod removes the obstacle of finding

someone to help make your visit better.”

-Tom Hall, Chief Travel Editor Lonely Planet
