Planning the trip at home

They spotted your tour on a big platform, open your own Space to see more, and book the same tour without the platform's fee.

Where your own Space actually helps
Rain cleared, the afternoon is free
A last-minute booking
A couple in town for the weekend scans the code at their hotel desk, sees seats left on the 3 pm tour and books from the lobby.
A company retreat
Groups book private tours
An event planner needs an activity for thirty people. Your private tours page shows group options, and the request with the date arrives that day.
Tours, dates and the day itself
Every tour, every date and everything guests need before they arrive
Travellers have usually seen you somewhere already: a booking platform, a hotel brochure, a friend's photos. Then they look you up. Your own Space is where they decide whether the tour is worth it, and where a booking costs you nothing in commission.
Sell the experience, not the itinerary. A section for each tour with real photos, the duration, the group size, what's included and the moment people talk about afterwards, the whale surfacing beside the kayak, the view from the ridge. That's what makes someone pick your tour over the one below it.
Answer the practical questions in your Space: where to meet and park, what to bring and wear, fitness level, age limits for kids, what happens if the weather turns. Guests who know what to expect arrive on time, ready and happier.
Bookings belong online. Guests pick a date and time and get a confirmation; you get the details by email. Groups, schools and companies use a separate request form with the date and headcount, so private tours don't get lost in your inbox.
Your QR codes, included

3 QR codes in your branding come with your Space, ready to print. A phone camera is all anyone needs to open your Space from one.

What tour operators ask us
Can guests pay when they book?
Online payments through PayPal come with the Video Space. If you already use a booking system like FareHarbor, the Book button on each tour can open it instead.
Can each tour have its own section?
Yes, with photos, duration, price, group size and what's included. Those pages are what people share.
Can we take private group requests?
Yes. A separate form asks for the date, the group size and the kind of group, and lands in your email.
Can my Space explain what happens if the weather turns?
Yes, plainly on each tour page. It's one of the first things guests want to know before they book.
Can we show photos our guests took?
Yes, with their permission. Real guest photos sell the next tour better than any polished shot.
Can we show seasonal tours and close them off-season?
Yes. Switch a tour on or off yourself from the app when the season changes.
I only need a digital business card. Do you do that?
Yes, the Identity Space: one screen with your buttons, your photo and a QR code, $199 a year. Lots of tour operators use it first and upgrade later.
Will I show up when someone searches "tours near me"?
That depends on more than your Space: your Google listing, your reviews and the other tour operators nearby all count. Our part is a Space search engines read easily, with your services, tours and meeting points and contact details clearly laid out.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No setup fee. The preview is free, and after you say yes it's $299 a year. The only thing you'd buy separately is your own domain name, like yourtours.ca.
