What you know about a city is someone else’s trip of a lifetime.
Build a new customer base alongside your existing work, including travellers who have never commissioned a custom itinerary. Write a plan once and earn from multiple bookings. The travel agency handles bookings; in-person guiding is a separately paid opportunity.
Your local knowledge is worth more than you think.
100EUR
after the first booking
50EUR
for each of the next four
20EUR
per booking until the milestone
Earn EUR 100 for your first qualifying booking, EUR 50 for each of the next four, then EUR 20 per booking until the per-plan milestone. Bookings count across all your plans. Starting another plan does not restart these introductory rates.
Your plan keeps earning after EUR 1,200
EUR 1,200 is a milestone per plan, not a cap. Introductory fees earned on that plan count towards it. After the milestone is reached, that plan continues to earn EUR 10 per booking. Each separately accepted, published and independently bookable itinerary counts separately. A three-day and a five-day version can count as separate plans even with shared activities. A technical copy or personalisation for one customer does not create a new allowance on its own. The separate fee for providing in-person guiding is paid in addition to these booking fees.
These rates apply to Founding Circle members. Amounts are before applicable personal taxes and deductions. There is no advance or guaranteed income.
Ten open browser tabs. Or one person who really knows the city.
Which street, which day, who to ask for. We are not after a list of sights. We want the half a sentence only someone who lived there, or keeps coming back, knows.
This is the sentence we pay for.
You have ten of these about your city. Until now, nobody asked.
In about a minute and a half in Bountr Studio: the basics, the daily program, a stay, photos and local tips, all the way to submission.
The first 20 experts earn more.
You join the Founding Circle when we accept your first plan and you intend to publish it. Places are allocated in order of acceptance. Signing up alone does not reserve a place.

Sample plan and help
Introductory rates apply once per expert across all plans. Table rates apply to qualifying bookings. Founding Circle rates and milestones do not change the terms for experts joining later.
Before you start
EUR 1,200 is a milestone per plan, not a cap. Introductory fees earned on that plan count towards it. After the milestone is reached, that plan continues to earn EUR 10 per booking.
Each separately accepted, published and independently bookable itinerary counts separately. A three-day and a five-day version can count as separate plans even with shared activities. A technical copy or personalisation for one customer does not create a new allowance on its own.
The separate fee for providing in-person guiding is paid in addition to these booking fees.
AI-assisted personalisation is planned and under development. Experts can already write and submit plans; bookings and related earnings begin once the booking platform launches.
The booking platform has not launched yet. Until then your plan can be finished and approved; bookings and payouts start after launch.
Straight after signing up. No need to wait for a review or contract.
Three days is completely fine. Specific, usable tips and well-planned days are what matter.
A booking enters your monthly statement once the trip is completed and Bountr has received the related commission. We pay fees that qualify during a month by the 15th of the following month. One order counts as one booking, regardless of the number of travellers. Bookings will begin once the booking platform opens.
The Founding Circle is twenty different experts, in the order their first plan is accepted. You join when we accept your first plan and you intend to publish it. Signing up alone does not reserve a place, and further plans do not take another one.
Your name always stays on it. When it is published, you grant Bountr an exclusive licence to use it, so you cannot sell the same plan elsewhere, and we may update it to keep it current. If it receives no booking within 18 months, you can end the licence and all rights return to you.
We review every plan before publication. If something is missing, you get specific feedback and can resubmit after fixing it. If a plan is not published, we tell you why.
