Recruitment video transcript
What if you could share your city with the world… and get rewarded for it?
Most travellers only see the tourist version of a destination. They miss the markets, the music, the flavour, the soul.
At Detour Global, we connect curious travellers with local insiders — people who know the hidden cafés, the family-run kitchens, the streets the guidebooks forget.
From Accra to New York, Detour Insiders are helping travellers experience the world differently.
Share your city. Share your culture. Share your story. Become a Detour Insider today.

If you know your neighbourhood inside out — the best plate on the block, the Friday-only rooftop, the auntie's no-sign kitchen — there's a seat here for you. Insiders keep 100% of direct bookings and tips. Top-tier hosts average around £1200 a month.

One fee for Explorers. Three host tiers for Insiders.
We looked at what the big tour-booking sites charge and quietly went the other way. Explorers pay £49:99 a year — instead of £15+ every single booking. Insiders pick a tier that fits.
