Belonging, anywhere

Wherever you land, you should feel connected within a day. That’s what we’re building.

Cancun, 2022: the trip that started it all, in a cenote with people we’d just met.

Technology that brings people together

Tech gets blamed for pulling people apart. We think it can do the opposite: help you find the people around you, the things worth doing, and get you off your phone and into the moment. Success for us isn’t time in the app. It’s moments shared in person.

Who it’s for

Travelers, college students, new residents and locals: curious, kind people who’d rather say hi than scroll past each other. We call it trip mingling.

What we believe

• Your city should see what you share. Events reach everyone in the city chat, listed by day and time, not ranked by an algorithm.
• Real life comes first. Features are built to get people together, not to keep them scrolling.
• Safety and privacy aren’t extras. 18+, real moderation, and your location is never shown. How we keep it safe
• No ads in your chats or feeds.

HOW IT STARTED

One trip, a lot of new friends

In 2022, a group of friends took a trip to Cancun and ended up trip mingling with group after group at the resort. Everyone went out together, took group photos and made memories no one will forget.

Then came the realization: they’d probably never travel with those people again. Why? One group had been the glue that brought strangers together to share their vacation. Tour Us is built to be that glue, everywhere.

Being new somewhere is freeing

No one’s expectations to live up to, and the trip is fully yours. But when you know nobody, you have to bring the energy and the spontaneity yourself to unlock it. Tour Us makes that part easier: the people, the plans and the places are already there when you land.

Who’s here

Young adults fresh out of college were first. Then, to our surprise, people in their 30s started joining even faster.

What we hope you feel

A sense of community in your own city. Sharing spots people never knew existed, trading notes with locals, nudging each other to try something new, until Tour Us is the first thing you think of when you travel.
