These offerings are among the latest in the Lonely Planet Experiences catalogue, developed earlier this year to connect travelers with local communities and businesses around the world. Demand for private tours and other bespoke, experiential opportunities to engage with destinations as a local might were already on the rise in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased interest in local-led and private offerings that go off the beaten path, especially in many travelers' own back yards as travel restrictions shift.
