Tourus — Become a Guide
Share the stories only you can tell.
Tourus is built on the idea that the best histories come from people who live them, research them, and care deeply about them. If that's you, we want to work with you.
Who we're looking for
Researchers & academics
You've spent years digging into the histories that mainstream culture glosses over. Now you can share them with people who are genuinely curious.
Activists & community historians
You know the untold stories of your community. Tourus gives you a platform to put those stories on the map — literally.
Writers & journalists
You know how to make complex ideas accessible and compelling. We provide the format; you bring the voice.
Museum & gallery professionals
You work with these collections every day. We'd love to help you tell the stories that don't fit on a label.
How it works
01
Pitch your tour
Tell us your idea — the location, the angle, and why it matters. A few sentences is enough to start.
02
We develop it together
Our editorial team works with you to shape the script, structure the stops, and nail the tone.
03
It goes live on the app
Your tour reaches curious travellers across the UK — credited to you, in your voice.
What you get
- Your name and bio credited on every tour you create
- Revenue share on paid tours
- Editorial support throughout the process — we're collaborative, not prescriptive
- A platform built on the values you care about: no ads, no algorithms, no watered-down storytelling
- Access to our growing community of guides, researchers and curious minds
