"Every city has people who know it deeply and love it. Every traveler wants to experience it that way. We built Friend In Town to make that connection safe, simple, and real."
Friend In Town was born from a simple frustration - the gap between how travelers experience cities and how locals actually live in them.
Every major city has the same problem: millions of tourists following the same routes, visiting the same attractions, eating at the same restaurants recommended by the same apps. Meanwhile, the people who actually live there - the hiker who knows every hidden trail, the foodie who knows every local market, the photographer who knows the best golden hour spots - have no way to share that knowledge with the curious traveler who would love it.
We set out to change that. Friend In Town is a marketplace that connects travelers with verified local guides and hosts who share what they loves. Not a tour company. Not a booking agency. A platform that gets out of the way and lets genuine human connections happen - safely, privately, and fairly.
Friend In Town is a fully secure, two-sided marketplace platform built with trust at its core:
Nicknames protect both sides. Real contact only after confirmation. ID-verified hosts before listing.
Hosts keep 100% of their listed price. Transparent platform fee paid by travelers. No hidden charges.
Real locals, real experiences. No packaged tours, no scripts - just genuine human connection.
Friend In Town is currently active in cities across the United States and Europe, with new cities added regularly:
