How to Create a Listing and Add Tour Packages on VayaTribe (Step-by-Step Guide for Local Tour Guides)

If you are a local tour guide and want to reach more travelers without paying commissions, subscriptions, or marketing fees — VayaTribe is built exactly for you.

VayaTribe is a free platform that connects travelers with verified local tour guides across India. From creating your profile to uploading videos, editing content, and publishing tour packages — everything is 100% free.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create your listing and add tour packages on VayaTribe, step by step, in the simplest way possible.

Step 1: Getting Started After Onboarding

Once you are successfully onboarded as a tour guide on VayaTribe, you’ll land on the home screen of the platform.

At the bottom-right corner, you’ll notice a “+” button.
This button is the starting point for creating your presence on VayaTribe.

When you tap on it, you’ll see two options:

  1. Upload Video

  2. Create Listing

Important:
Before creating a listing, you must upload a video first. Your listing will be built around this video.

Step 2: Uploading Your Tour Video (Free Editing Included)

Click on Upload Video, and a new window will open.

1. Add Video Details

You’ll be asked to:

  • Enter a Video Name (example: Jodhpur Heritage Walking Tour)

  • Upload the Main Video

  • Upload Supporting Files

2. Upload Main Video

This should be your primary tour video.
For example:

  • A short clip of you guiding travelers

  • City visuals

  • Tour highlights

  • Any raw footage of your tours

No need for perfection — raw videos work just fine.

3. Upload Supporting Files

Supporting files help our editing team understand your vision better. You can upload:

  • A written script

  • Voice-over audio

  • Photos

  • Reference videos

  • Any additional material

    Example:

    If you offer Jodhpur tours, upload one main video and add photos of Mehrangarh Fort, Blue City streets, or guest experiences as supporting files.

4. Add Instructions for the Editing Team

  • Below the supporting files section, you’ll find an Information box.

    Here, you can tell us:

    • How you want the video to feel (cinematic, informative, energetic)

    • Any text, music, or style preferences

    • Special instructions or add-ons

5. Submit Your Video

  • Once you click Upload, your video is sent to VayaTribe’s in-house video editing team.

    Yes — video editing is completely FREE.
    No hidden charges. No limits.

Step 3: Track Video Editing Progress

While the video is being edited, you can track its status in the Editing tab located in the bottom navigation bar.

You’ll be able to see:

  • Whether the video is received

  • If editing is in progress

  • When it’s completed

Step 4: Review, Approve, or Request Changes

Once editing is done:

  • The edited video is uploaded by the VayaTribe team

  • You’ll receive a notification

Now you have two options:

Approve the Video

If you like the video, simply click Approve.

Request Changes

If you want improvements:

  • Reject the video

  • Clearly mention the additional changes required

The team will re-edit it — again, free of cost.

Step 5: Create Your Tour Listing

Once your video is approved, it’s time to create your listing.

Go back to the “+ / Add” button on the bottom-left corner and select Create Listing.

1. Add Listing Name

A new window opens where you:

  • Enter the Listing Name (this will be visible to travelers)

  • Click Save

Your listing is now saved as a Draft — visible only to you.

Step 6: Edit Your Draft Listing

On the draft card, you’ll see:

  • Edit Draft

  • View Details

View Details

This shows how your listing will look to travelers once live.

Edit Draft

Click Edit Draft, then tap the Edit button (top-right corner) to complete your listing.

Step 7: Fill in Basic Information

Now you’ll see a Basic Information Form.

1. Select Edited Video

  • Choose the video edited by VayaTribe from the dropdown menu

2. Add Heading

  • This heading appears on the page where travelers view your video and photos.

    Example:
    Explore Jodhpur with a Local Guide

3. Add Description

Write a detailed description about:

  • Your tour experience

  • What travelers can expect

  • What makes your tour special

Keep it honest and personal — travelers love authenticity.

Step 8: Create Tour Packages

Now comes the most important part — Packages.

Click on Add Package.

For each package, you can add:

1. Upload Images

  • Scenic views

  • Past tours

  • Happy travelers

  • Landmarks

2. Package Name

Example:

  • Jodhpur Half-Day Heritage Tour

  • Blue City Walking Tour

3. Facilities Included

Mention what’s included, such as:

  • Local guide

  • Entry assistance

  • Cultural walk

  • Pickup support (if any)

4. Package Description

Explain:

  • Duration

  • Key highlights

  • Experience details

5. Price

Add the price for that specific package.

Click Create Package.

You can create multiple packages under the same listing.

Step 9: Go Live or Save as Draft

Once everything is filled:

  • Click Save Draft if you want to make changes later

  • Click Go Live to publish your listing

Your tour listing will now be visible to travelers on VayaTribe.

Step 10: Edit Anytime, Hassle-Free
