The Free Alternative to Viator & GetYourGuide

Why Adventure Tour Hubs is free
Community-specific, not nationwide
The paid apps charge because they cover every county in the country. We only cover the areas our community uses, and staying narrow is what keeps it free.
Free public data
We source maps and boundaries from free public GIS portals instead of licensing an expensive nationwide dataset, so there is no per-user data bill to pass on.
No account, no paywall
Every core tool works in a browser and in the app with no signup. A free account only adds syncing so your spots and plans follow you between devices.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. Adventure Tour Hubs lists local tour operators and guides for free and sends enquiries straight to them, with no marketplace commission skimmed off each booking. That means fairer prices for travelers and more margin for the operator.
No. Unlike the big travel marketplaces, we don't take a percentage of each booking. Operators list free and travelers reach them direct.
We focus on connecting travelers with real local operators instead of running a global booking marketplace, so there's no commission engine to fund, so the directory and trip tools stay free.
