Overview

## What ToursByLocals does

ToursByLocals connects travelers with guides who run private tours in their own city or region. Searches start with a destination, either a city or a country, and can be tightened with filters such as group size or how well a tour suits families.

Guides have profiles, and the profile is where the decision gets made: background on the guide, the tours offered, and availability against specific travel dates. Booking runs through that same profile once dates line up.

The emphasis throughout is the individual guide rather than a packaged product, so the catalogue is organized around the people who lead the tours in a given place.

### Who it is for

Travelers who want a private guided day out, including families and small groups with particular requirements.

### What stands out

Selection happens at the level of the guide, with profiles and date availability, rather than a fixed tour listing.

## Where ToursByLocals is listed

ToursByLocals is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. ToursByLocals has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
