Heygo

27 Old Gloucester Street, London, England, United Kingdom

Overview

Heygo offers live, interactive travel streams where local guides livestream tours and experiences to a global audience. Viewers can join for free, ask questions in real time, and tip guides; the platform takes a revenue share while guides keep most tips. The company positions itself as a creator-economy play—"Twitch, but for travel"—covering everything from walking Machu Picchu to cooking classes in Hanoi. Heygo has grown strongly: it recently surpassed 2 million bookings and reported 300% growth in bookings this January versus the prior year. The team is launching a dedicated in-house streaming app to differentiate from competitors and scale its streaming product. Co-founder and CEO John Tertan is quoted describing the range of experiences and the company’s focus on streaming the real world.
