Become a Tour Guide in Delhi — Earn Part-Time or Full-Time
If you know Delhi well, you can turn that knowledge into income. Post your tour on Myna24, set your own hourly and per-day price, and get booked by travellers looking for a local guide.
Why travellers look for local guides in Delhi
Delhi is a major arrival point for trips to North India, and it is also a city of students and working professionals who rent rooms, flats and PGs. Visitors often look for local guides and for photographers for portraits, couple shoots and events.
Delhi is India's capital and one of its oldest continuously inhabited cities. It has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Red Fort Complex, Humayun's Tomb and the Qutb Minar — alongside the lanes of Old Delhi, colonial-era New Delhi and a food scene that draws visitors all year.
How to start earning as a tour guide — in 5 steps
- Sign in with your phone number and one-time password (OTP).
- Post your tour: a clear title, what you show, your meeting point in Delhi, the languages you speak, your maximum group size, what is included, and good photos.
- Set your hourly price and your per-day price.
- Get booked. Guests choose a free date, pay a 10% booking fee online, and you are notified. The guest's phone number is shared with you once the booking is confirmed.
- Meet your guests and collect the remaining 90% from them directly.
Part-time or full-time — you decide
Many guides in Delhi start on weekends, holidays or evenings — for example a sunset or food walk after a day job or classes — and move to full-time as bookings grow. Existing bookings block your calendar automatically, so you are never double-booked.
Myna24 does not promise a fixed income: what you earn depends on your rates, how many bookings you get and how many hours you work.

Become a tour guide in Delhi — frequently asked questions
How can I become a tour guide in Delhi?
Sign in to Myna24 with your phone number, post your tour with photos, meeting point, languages and prices, and start receiving bookings. You choose your own hourly and per-day rates.
How much can I earn as a tour guide in Delhi?
There is no fixed salary. Your income depends on the rates you set, how many bookings you get and how many hours you work. Myna24 lets you set separate hourly and per-day prices.
Do I need a licence to be a tour guide?
Requirements differ by place and activity. Some protected monuments allow only approved guides inside, and guides are commonly expected to hold approval from the Ministry of Tourism or the state tourism department for monument guiding. Walks in lanes, markets and neighbourhoods outside ticketed sites are usually different — check current rules with the local tourism office.
How do I get paid?
Guests pay a 10% booking fee to Myna24 online when they book. You collect the remaining 90% directly from the guest.
Can I work part-time alongside a job or studies?
Yes. You decide your rates and which days to take, and bookings only arrive for slots that are free on your calendar. Many guides begin with weekends and evenings.
How do I avoid double bookings?
Once a guest books a slot, that slot is blocked for everyone else on your calendar, and the system prevents two people from booking the same time.
Where do I post my tour?
Use Post Tour Guide Service on myna24.com or in the Myna24 app. Posting takes a few minutes.
