OTAs take 20–30% of every booking
Viator and GetYourGuide bring volume, but the commission compounds. A direct audience on social is the cheapest booking channel you'll ever own.
For tour operators
Every departure is a content shoot.
Your guests photograph everything — the sunset, the food, each other. Tourbo collects those photos with one QR scan at the end of the tour and turns them into reels that sell your next departure.
Sound familiar?
You can't be on every tour with a camera
Your guides are busy guiding, and the photos they do take get lost in WhatsApp threads. Professional shoots are expensive, dated within a season, and look like ads — because they are.
Posting consistently never survives the high season
Content gets made in the slow months and abandoned exactly when your product looks its best.
With Tourbo
What changes on day one.
A daily content stream, zero staff time
Guides show a QR code at the end of the tour. That's the entire workflow change. Collection runs itself, and turning the uploads into a reel is a template and a couple of clicks.
Social proof that books tours
Travelers trust other travelers. Reels made from real guest footage outperform polished brand content because they read as recommendations, not ads.
Guides become your growth team
The built-in leaderboard ranks guides by photos collected — a little friendly competition keeps the pipeline full.
Reviews while the high is fresh
The same scan that collects photos asks happy guests for a Google review, minutes after the best part of their trip.
Tour operators FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do my guides need training to use Tourbo?
No. Each tour gets its own QR code — print it or pull it up on a phone. Guides show it to guests at the end of the tour, and that's the entire job. Collection and organization happen automatically; making a reel from the uploads takes whoever runs your social a couple of clicks.
Does Tourbo replace Viator or GetYourGuide?
No — it complements them. OTAs bring first-time customers; Tourbo turns those customers into content that grows your Instagram and TikTok, where future travelers book you directly, commission-free.
What does it cost for a tour operator?
Collecting guest photos and videos is free forever, for unlimited tours and guides — downloading your originals included. You buy prepaid credits only when you generate content — reels, story videos — from those photos.
How do guests feel about sharing their photos?
Guests love it — they took great photos and want them seen. The upload flow takes under a minute, asks permission to feature their shots, and many guests follow your account on the spot.
