We believe every journey should connect you deeper with the world โ through genuine experiences, local wisdom, and moments that last a lifetime.
Wanderlust started as a conversation between two friends who kept asking the same question: why do most tours feel like conveyor belts? They believed travel should be transformative โ a bridge between cultures, not a tick-box exercise.
In 2018, we launched with just 12 handpicked guides across 5 cities. Today, we've grown to a global community of expert guides spanning dozens of countries, but the philosophy remains unchanged.
"We don't just show you places โ we introduce you to the people, stories, and flavours that make those places unforgettable."
Every guide is a local expert who genuinely loves their city. No scripts, no shortcuts โ just real stories and hidden gems you won't find in any guidebook.
All guides are background-verified, trained in first aid, and fully insured. Your well-being is our top priority at every step of your journey.
We partner with responsible businesses, offset carbon emissions, and encourage slow, mindful travel that benefits local communities for generations to come.
We reinvest in the communities we operate in โ funding local arts, supporting small businesses, and creating livelihoods for passionate guides worldwide.
We debut with 12 hand-picked guides and a bold promise: no tourist traps, ever.
We hit our first major milestone and expand to 15 cities across Europe, Asia, and South America.
During the pandemic we pivot to virtual experiences, connecting homebound travellers with guides worldwide.
We cross 30 countries and launch our hotel partnership programme, giving travellers an end-to-end experience.
We launch our 1% for the Planet commitment โ every booking funds local conservation and community projects.
Today we serve travellers across 45+ countries with 120+ verified guides โ and we're just getting started.
