Your tour ends. Guests loved it.
Then... nothing happens.

No review left. No tip given. No photo shared. No merch sold.

Three days later you send a follow-up email. They've already forgotten how they felt. The moment is gone.

The moment a guest is happiest — right after the experience — is the moment most operators let them walk away with nothing. Nothing was in place to capture it.

“We went from 12 Google reviews/month to 47 — without changing anything about how we run tours. The QR code takes 2 seconds.”

Marco R.

Walking Tour Operator, Lisbon

“Our guides are earning 3x more in tips since we added the QR code. Staff retention has never been better — they actually want to stay now.”

S

Sofia K.

Adventure Tours, Bali

“The branded photos alone are worth it. Guests share them on Instagram and we get free marketing every single day. Paid $0 with the sponsor plan.”

One QR code puts up to four revenue streams in place.

At the end of every tour, show guests one QR code. They open WhatsApp. Everything else is automatic.

1

Show the QR code

Tour ends. You hold up a printed QR code or display it on a screen. Takes 2 seconds.

2

Guests scan & open WhatsApp

No app download. No sign-up. WhatsApp opens with your branded experience ready to go.

3

Revenue flows in

Reviews posted, tips sent, photos shared, merch ordered. You did nothing. It just works.

The right tools, already in place.

Each one works independently or together — all delivered through a single WhatsApp flow your guests already know how to use. WhatsApp has a 98% open rate vs 21% for email.

Reviews

More 5-star reviews. More bookings. Zero chasing.

Guests rate you right after the experience — when emotion is highest. We route 5-star reviews to Google and TripAdvisor automatically. Bad reviews go to you privately first. Optimized timing, smart funnels, no manual follow-up emails.

Operators see 3-5x more reviews in the first month

Frequently Asked Questions

$119/mo for all four tools (reviews, photos, tipping, merch) — including merch design and setup. Or $0/mo if you qualify for a sponsored plan. Individual tools $49/mo each. No contracts, cancel anytime.

Yes. It's completely modular. Every tool is $49/mo — or all four for $119/mo. You never pay for what you don't use.

Local travel partners sponsor your tools in exchange for recommended placement to your guests. You control what's shown. They get exposure to your audience. You get $119/mo worth of tools for free. Standard tip processing (4.9%, paid by the tipper) still applies — but that's the lowest rate in the industry.

Guides always keep 100% of the tip. A small processing fee (4.9% + $0.30) is added on top for the tipper — the lowest in the market. Cross-currency tips include a small FX fee (2-4%). Compare that to TripAdmit's 8.8%+ total (5.9% + 2.9% plus additional FX costs).

We set everything up for you — including custom merch design. Typical setup is 48 hours. You receive a printed QR code and you're live. No contracts, cancel anytime.
