JoinTour

Find verified travel buddies in any city

JoinTour brings solo travelers together. Everyone is verified with a live selfie, so the people you meet are who they say they are. Join a group in the city you are visiting, plan a trip together and chat in real time.

How it works

1. Get verified
Add your photo, confirm your phone and take a quick live selfie. It takes about two minutes.
2. Pick a city
Browse groups of travelers in the city you are heading to: food walks, treks, nightlife, remote workers and more.
3. Join or start a group
Open groups let you in straight away; approval groups let the owner see your profile first.
4. Plan and meet
Chat live, react to plans, and plan day trips with the seats and dates you choose.
