What if your weekend walk around town could turn into extra income—without quitting your day job?
For part-time local guides on nTravist, that’s exactly what’s happening. With just a few weekend tours a month, some guides are making $400–$600 extra in their pocket.
Here’s how they’re doing it — and how you can too.
The Strategy
Let’s break it down:
Tour type: 3 to 4-hour local experience (e.g. food crawl, street art tour, hidden history walk)
Tour price: ~$25 per person
Group size: 3–6 people
Tours per weekend: Just 2 (one Saturday, one Sunday)
That’s about $250 every weekend. Multiply by 2 weekends a month? You’re looking at $500 extra.
And yes, that’s before tips — which many travelers are happy to leave if they had a great time.
Why It Works
Flexible: Run your tour when it works for you
Low effort: You already know your city — just share it
High demand: Travelers crave local insight, not guidebooks
No setup cost: Just list it on nTravist, and start hosting
