Sound familiar?

For those who want to lead — but not alone

You're an active participant of our tours. You have a route idea, favourite places or a format you'd love to run. One thing stops you: doing it alone is scary and expensive. That's exactly what the host programme is for.

What Damn Tours brings

Brand and audience

Your tour launches under Damn Tours — with ready-made trust and a participant base.

Marketing and promotion

Announcements, social media, a tour landing page — we handle recruiting the group.

Gear and logistics

Tents, cauldrons, transport, rentals — everything we've hauled for years now works for you.

A mentor from the team

An experienced tour leader by your side at every step — from idea to post-tour debrief.

Checklists and preparation

Proven templates: budget, timing, menu, what to pack — no reinventing the wheel.

Safety

Protocols, insurance, medics, route checks — the one thing we take seriously.

The host ladder

nobody jumps straight to the top — and nobody should

Participant

You travel with us and know the vibe from the inside — that's how all our hosts started.

Volunteer

You help on a tour: logistics, camp, vibe. You see how it all works.

Co-host

You lead a tour alongside an experienced tour leader — half the responsibility, all the experience.

Your own tour

A full author-led tour in the Damn Tours catalogue. Your idea — our shoulders.

Honest economics

Direct costs — transport, food, gear rental — are covered from the tour's revenue first. The remainder is split 70/30 in your favour.

The math is transparent: we budget together before launch and reconcile the actuals together after the tour. No hidden fees, no fine print.

We started the same way

We led our first hike along the Gauja as a trio — no brand, no audience, pure enthusiasm. A community of hundreds grew out of it. Now it's your turn — except your start will be much easier than ours.
