Building the future of travel from Niagara Falls.
TripshepherdAbout
Daud Grewal is a Canadian entrepreneur with over 18 years in travel operations. In 2006, while working as an IMAX theater usher in Niagara Falls, he founded See Sight Tours with his mother's minivan and an 18-point plan — and built it into a multimillion-dollar, TripAdvisor-recognized small-group tour company operating across North America.
In 2025 he launched Tripshepherd, an AI-driven travel platform that connects travelers with locally curated experiences through short-form video, designed to fight overtourism by keeping economic benefits with local guides and creators. He is also co-founder and president of Hidden Humanity, and holds a BA (Hons) in Political Science from Brock University.
