Your expertise. Your rates. Your travelers.

You're not just leading a route — you're sharing your home, culture, and knowledge with someone who chose you. MyTenzing connects you directly with travelers matched to your pace, your style, and your specialty — not assigned to you by an agency. Build your own profile, set your own rates, and keep what you earn.

You do the real work. You should keep more of what it's worth.

MyTenzing gives you a professional profile travelers can discover directly — helping you build your own reputation instead of depending only on agencies, referrals, or word of mouth.

No website, marketing expertise, or technical skills required.

Build your own reputation

For many guides, agencies are the main source of bookings. That can mean less control over your business, limited visibility into your clients, and fewer opportunities to grow independently.

MyTenzing helps travelers find you directly based on your expertise, personality, and experience — so you can receive more inquiries and build lasting relationships with travelers over time.

Your rates. Your call.

You're in full control of your pricing. Travelers see your rates before they ever message you.

  • ✓ Private and group rates, set entirely by you.
  • ✓ Optional trip-specific and group-size pricing tiers, if you want more flexibility.

No hidden pricing rules. No agency deciding your worth.

Matched by compatibility, not availability.

Travelers discover you based on who you are—not just who's available. Your specialties, guiding style, rates, and personality are all showcased in one professional profile you control.

  • ✓ Verified expertise — Earn specialty badges in what you actually know, from wildlife and birds to history, photography, astronomy, and more.
  • ✓ Show travelers what it's really like to travel with you — Personality prompts go beyond a generic bio, helping travelers understand your communication style, pace, sense of humor, and guiding style before they ever reach out.

How it works

You control your profile, your rates, and who you work with.

01

Build your profile

Your specialties, your guiding story, your style — photos and details travelers actually want to see.

02

Get matched to the right travelers

Travelers see your compatibility on pace, communication style, and focus — not just your availability.

03

Get out on the trail

Confirm the details, meet your travelers, and go do what you're actually good at.

Why guide with MyTenzing

Built around independence, not agency overhead.

✓

Keep more of what you earn

A transparent 10% platform fee — you set your rates and see exactly what you earn.

✓

Set your own rates and availability

You decide what your time and expertise are worth, and when you're available to guide.

✓

Build a profile travelers can find

No website, no ad spend — your profile does the work of getting you found directly.

✓

No certification gate

Certification isn't required to join unless it's legally mandated in your region — your skill is verified through our assessment either way.

Verification protects you too.

Every traveler you match with is on a platform where guides are vetted — that credibility is part of what makes travelers choose to message first.

✓

Identity verified

Government ID verification confirms who you are before you go live.

✓

Locally certified where required

In Nepal, TAAN certification is required for protected trekking regions — we help confirm this is on file, not gate you out of joining.

✓

Knowledge assessed, not just claimed

A graded knowledge test covering your region and specialty gives travelers real confidence in your expertise.
