Become a Partner and Earn Exceptional Commissions
Join our travel affiliate program and unlock one of the most rewarding commission structures in the travel and tour industry.
While most travel affiliate programs offer small commissions on small margins, we provide clear, fixed, and highly attractive commissions per tour sold — making your earnings predictable, transparent, and significantly higher than industry benchmarks.
This is because we are not just a middle party with high overhead like GetYourGuide or Viator – we are a local tour operator.
Our philosophy is simple. Instead of spending money on sales managers (which we don’t have), an office (we just have a website), or a back office team (guests talk directly to guides), we focus entirely on what we do best: offering amazing jungle tours.
This lean approach allows us to build real relationships with our guests and improve our tours. And because we operate with almost no overhead, we can offer our tours at local prices and offer the most attractive affiliate commissions in the travel industry.
We especially love working with bloggers because they care about offering high-quality content to their readers just as much as we care about offering high-quality tours to our guests. This shared commitment makes our collaboration genuinely rewarding.
Whether you run a website, blog, social media channel, newsletter, or you refer clients one-on-one, our system is designed to be simple, fair, and built for your success.
Affiliate Commission Structure (effective 1 January 2026)
Our affiliate model is designed to eliminate uncertainty and maximise earnings:
-
Guaranteed, unmatched commissions:
- min €40 for each private tour (€20 for shared tours)
- 8% of tour price for high value bookings
- No cookie expiration — every referral counts.
Travelers need time to make an informed decision on what is supposed to be the highlight of their year. In our view constraining the cookie expiration is just not fair. - Quarterly payouts for earnings above €50.
Local Guides offers a guaranteed fixed commission of €40 for private tours, making it particularly attractive for the majority of tours which range from €100 to €400. Importantly, this guaranteed income does not limit the upside: for higher-value bookings the commissions are percentage-based.
Why Our Program Generates Outstanding Results for Affiliates
- Exceptionally high earnings: Our fixed per-tour payouts exceed typical affiliate percentages offered across the travel sector.
- Total transparency: You always know what was booked, when, and how much you earned.
- Zero-risk referral model: You only need to share your links — the rest is handled by us.
- No cookie time limits: You never lose a lead. This makes a difference especially in the travel industry.
- Perfect for small and large partners: Bloggers, tourism websites, travel agents, concierges, influencers — everyone can benefit.
