Tour operator software is meant to help in two key areas:

  1. The first is keeping operations running smoothly — managing bookings, tracking availability, handling walk-ins and phone reservations, automating customer communications, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Most decent platforms handle this pretty well.
  2. The second is actually growing your business — selling across more channels, getting listed on OTAs where travellers are already searching, establishing partnerships with other operators, and building an affiliate network. This is where platforms start to differ.

Most tour operators come to software looking to solve the first problem — they’re done with spreadsheets and want to get organised. That is a totally fair starting point. But the platforms that deliver the most value over the long term are the ones that nail both.

So we put together this guide of the 20 most popular tour operator software platforms — covering features, pricing, and customer feedback — to help you compare all the options and find the right fit.

1. Bókun

All-in-one platform to streamline operations & drive massive growth

Bókun homepage: More bookings. Better experience.

Bókun is one of the most top-rated tour operator software (with a 4.7-star rating) because our system is built to cover both sides of the coin — with everything you need to run your day-to-day operations and stay booked and busy — while being extremely affordable and easy to use.

It handles all of the complex tasks and back-office work to centralise operations, keep your business running smoothly, and make everybody’s lives easier. It also opens up countless avenues to promote your experiences to new audiences, sell across multiple channels, and drive new bookings.

Here’s what sets Bókun apart from the rest:

  • We’re a Tripadvisor brand with a decade (plus) of industry experience that shapes every aspect of our platform. We’ve worked with countless tour and activity providers to understand exactly what they need in a booking system and have optimised Bókun to meet them where they are.
  • We offer the most comprehensive growth drivers around. Bókun connects with 70+ global OTAs and is the #1 restech partner across major sites. We even have exclusive partnerships and integrations with Viator, GetYourGuide, Google Things to do, and Airbnb, winning our customers extra perks on the world’s biggest travel platforms. And our Marketplace is *the largest* in-built partner network, with thousands of travel industry businesses, so everybody can grow together.
  • Bókun is so user-friendly that it requires zero training. Most teams can be up and running in a few hours, and onboarding employees is super easy. You don’t need to be some tech aficionado to learn the ropes.
  • We run laps around competitors when it comes to value for money. Our subscriptions are budget-friendly (you can unlock full Bókun access for $49/month), and we offer industry-low booking fees (1.5% compared to competitors’ 3% to 8%). You keep more of what you earn with Bókun so you can put more money back into what matters most — growing your operations.

We offer all new customers a 14-day free trial (no credit card required) to explore Bókun and see if it’s the best solution for them. We’ll also break down our core features below, so you can get a sneak peek before you start.

Bókun’s operations management modules

Bókun automates so much of the day-to-day that our customers say it’s like having 10 extra people on the team. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Central calendar

Your central calendar is the operational heart of Bókun. Every booking that comes in — from your website, OTA channels, Marketplace partners, and affiliates — is automatically routed here so you can see everything in one clean, unified view. You can also add offline reservations here, such as walk-up and phone bookings, to keep track of the full scope.

Bókun Booking Calendar GIF

  • See all bookings in one place. No more jumping between your website backend, a Viator dashboard, a spreadsheet, and your email inbox. All reservations, from every channel, appear in real time in your Bókun calendar the moment they’re made.
  • Real-time availability updates. As bookings come in, Bókun automatically sends live availability updates back to every connected channel. When a time slot fills up on your website, it’s instantly blocked on Viator, GetYourGuide, and every other platform you’re selling on. You never have to manually update availability or worry about overbooking.
  • Modify availability, bookings, and staff assignments directly from this calendar. Need to close out a session because of bad weather? Block off a day for maintenance? Reassign a guide at the last minute? You can do all of that straight from the calendar without toggling between separate tools.

The Bókun calendar is your single source of truth for everything happening in your business.

Experiences: product & resource management

Adding and managing your products in Bókun is straightforward, and you have a lot of flexibility in how you set them up.

  • Create listings. For each Experience (that’s what Bókun calls your products), you can add a full description, itineraries, photos, capacity limits, pick-up and drop-off details, and more. You can also create custom booking forms to collect information from customers before they arrive — dietary requirements, fitness levels, group size, whatever you need. Then, our system lets you offer add-ons that customers can purchase at checkout, like souvenir photo packages, snacks or refreshments, gear upgrades, and merchandise. Our product builder walks you through every step of creating listings, so it’s super easy.
  • Add availability rules. Control exactly when customers can book. Set the days and times travellers can book, add blackout dates, and configure booking cutoff windows so you’re never scrambling at the last minute. Your availability rules populate your calendar, creating a recurring schedule so you don’t have to redo this each week.
  • Set pricing. Our pricing tools give you several options beyond a flat rate. You can:
    • Set pricing categories for different customer types (adults, children, groups)
    • Add rates for private experiences
    • Offer bulk discounts
    • Create seasonal rates or time-sensitive pricing
    • Use dynamic pricing to automatically adjust rates based on demand, time until departure, or occupancy — so you maximise revenue without having to update prices manually
  • Manage required resources. Assign guides, vehicles, equipment, or any other resource to each session directly in Bókun. The system tracks resource availability alongside booking availability, so you’re never double-booked on people or gear. When a resource is fully allocated, Bókun automatically closes out its availability.

Customer management: CRM & automated communications

Every customer who books with you — or even starts the booking process — is recorded in Bókun’s CRM.

You can view contact details, booking history, and spend per customer, and filter your customer base by product, date, geography, and other criteria.

This makes it easy to identify repeat customers, target past bookers with new promotions, and understand who your most valuable customers are.

Operations and Customers: Manage customer communications with ease

And we pair our CRM with automated communications that go out at every key moment in the customer journey — without doing anything manually after the initial setup:

  • Booking confirmations with mobile tickets, sent immediately after a reservation is made (note: tickets are fully customisable with your branding, logo, QR codes, and barcodes)
  • Pre-arrival reminders, sent a set number of days before the experience
  • Follow-up emails post-tour, with links to your review profiles on Tripadvisor, Google, and other sites

We also offer a gallery of templates, and let you save your own templates, to power all marketing emails through Bókun. You can customise and schedule abandoned-cart emails, discounts, upsells, newsletters, new product or event announcements — whatever you like — through Bókun.

Operations: Pick a base for your template

We also offer customer self-service portals (available through booking confirmation emails) so customers can view their upcoming bookings, make changes, or cancel — without contacting your team. All changes and cancellations automatically update on your calendar so you’re in the loop. This reduces admin time on your end and makes for a better experience for the customer.

Check-in tools

Bókun’s mobile apps (available on iOS and Android) give you and your guides everything you need to manage check-ins on the day.

When customers arrive, guides use the app’s ticket-scanning tool to check them in with the mobile ticket they received at booking. The app also shows a manifest for each session, so guides can see who’s signed up, monitor check-ins in real time, and track no-shows.

Multiple team members can run check-ins simultaneously across multiple locations, all working from the same data, so check-ins move quickly even during busy departures.

Reporting dashboard

Bókun offers a range of reports so you always have a clear picture of how your business is performing. Our key reports let you measure bookings and revenue by product, sales channel, partner, affiliate, and season:

  • By product. See which tours are your biggest earners so you can add more availability or similar experiences. On the flip side, look at which ones consistently underperform that might be worth retiring.
  • By sales channel. Understand whether your bookings are coming from your website, Viator, GetYourGuide, or a Marketplace partner, so you can double down on what’s working and cut the channels that aren’t.
  • By partner and affiliate. See which resellers and affiliates are sending you the most business, so you can prioritise those relationships and find more like them.
  • By season. Identify your peaks and quieter periods so you can plan staffing levels, adjust pricing, and run promotions at the right time to fill your calendar.

Reporting Dashboard: Bookings, Passengers, Booking Value

Because all of your customer data lives in the CRM, you can layer that on top to understand not just how much business you’re doing, but who it’s coming from and what they’re booking. That helps you make smarter decisions about where to focus your marketing and which audiences to go after next.

Bókun app store

In addition to our core features, we offer the Bókun App Store where you can browse extra modules — digital waivers, SMS messaging, and tip management — and add the ones that fit your business operations and daily workflows.

Bókun’s tools to win new bookings & accelerate growth

Bókun offers a breadth of tools to make your tour experiences visible worldwide and grow bookings globally. You can get your tours in front of new audiences by promoting them on major OTAs and building revenue-generating partnerships.

Enable direct website bookings

First things first — customers need a way to actually book with you online. Bókun gives you everything you need to make that happen, whether you’re building a site from scratch or adding booking functionality to one you already have.

If you already have a website, you can embed our booking engine widgets directly on your pages — “Book Now” buttons, calendar views, product lists, and product overviews — so customers can reserve a spot wherever they land on your site. Our widgets work with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Joomla, and most other popular site builders.

Choosing your Widget Type: Button, Booking Calendar, Product Page

If you don’t have a website yet, our one-click website builder gets you online quickly. Choose from our template library, plug in your content and branding, and publish a fully bookable site — no developer or technical experience needed.

Website Settings: Choose Template

Then we support the full booking and checkout flow by integrating with over a dozen payment processors — Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Worldpay, Braintree, Rapyd, and more. You can connect as many payment tools as you wish to offer customers their preferred checkout option wherever they are in the world.

Connections with OTAs & online marketplaces

Your website covers people who already know about you. OTAs are how you get in front of everyone else — the travellers actively searching for things to do in your area who haven’t heard of you yet.

That’s why we built Bókun with a ton of OTA and online marketplace connections. We integrate with 70+ global OTAs — including Viator, GetYourGuide, Google Things to do, Expedia, Civitatis, Trip.com, Klook, Tiqets, TourRadar, Headout, Hotelbeds, and Musement — as well as niche sites where travellers can find specific activity types or browse experiences in select destinations.

You can connect with as many sales channels as you like, adding or removing them as you go.

Plus, as we mentioned earlier, we’re the #1 restech partner across major OTAs, and Bókun holds premium partnerships with the world’s leading travel platforms — helping our customers get more out of their OTA presence.

  • Viator Preferred Partner. Viator is also part of the Tripadvisor family — along with Bókun — so you can reap extra benefits when you use all systems together. Bókun waives its booking fees on all Viator reservations (0% Bókun booking fees), which can add up to significant savings at scale. Your plan also includes free Viator subscription checks each year (12 on START, 24 on PLUS, 48 on PREMIUM) worth up to $1,392 annually. And if you’re already a Viator supplier, you can one-click import your existing products into Bókun and start managing them here immediately, without duplicate setup.
  • GetYourGuide Premium Connectivity Partner. Our Premium Connectivity Partnership with GetYourGuide ensures best-in-class API performance and access to GYG’s latest features, so your listings load faster, your availability stays accurate, and your experiences gain better visibility on one of the world’s busiest tour-booking platforms.
  • Official Google Things to do partner. Google Things to Do lets tour operators list experiences directly on Google Search, Google Maps, and the Google Travel app — appearing at the top of results (above ads) when travellers search for things to do in your area. As a Bókun customer, you can skip Google’s standard application process and enrol directly from our platform.

Bókun Marketplace

Then our Bókun Marketplace lets you push growth even further by connecting you with thousands of other travel and leisure businesses — accommodation providers like hotels, resorts, and B&Bs, rental companies, transportation services, destination management companies (DMCs), travel agents, attractions, educational institutions, and other tour and activity providers.

When you join Bókun, you’re automatically added to this network.

Here are the most popular ways to leverage Marketplace:

  • Connect with resellers who will promote your tours to their own customers and earn bookings for you. If a hotel concierge is listing your kayak tours in their welcome pack, or a DMC is recommending your food tour to their clients, those bookings come to you without any additional marketing spend.
  • Resell others’ services and earn commission when customers book through you. If you’re running day tours and a customer asks about accommodation, you can recommend and book partner services directly — adding value for the customer and revenue for your business.
  • Create packages with partners by bundling your tours with others’ experiences or services — a food tour paired with a cooking class, or a boat trip combined with a waterfront wine tasting. This lets you diversify your product line with more complete (and higher-value) experiences.

Bókun Discover Partners GIF

We provide all of the outreach and partner management tools directly in Bókun. You can save all messages, contracts, and partner details in our system, and Bókun will even remind you when contracts are up so you can renew or renegotiate terms.

You can work with as many partners as you like — many of our customers have dozens of (even 100+) partner contracts.

Bókun Referral Tracking

Beyond the Marketplace, Bókun’s Referral Tracking lets you build your own affiliate network with any person or business you choose — completely outside of the Marketplace structure.

Travel bloggers, social media influencers, tourism boards, visitor centres, local interest communities, corporate travel coordinators, and more. If their audience overlaps with yours, they can become an affiliate partner.

Here’s how it works:

  • Add as many affiliates as you like, with no cap on your network size.
  • You negotiate commission rates directly with each affiliate — Bókun doesn’t set them for you, so you can decide what makes sense for each partnership.
  • Give each affiliate either a dedicated booking engine they can embed on their own site, or a trackable booking link they add to their content.
  • Every booking they generate flows directly into your central calendar with full attribution, so you know exactly where it came from.
  • Track performance in Bókun’s reporting dashboard to see which affiliates are generating the most bookings and revenue.

It’s a completely flexible way to grow your distribution beyond the major OTAs and reach highly specific, relevant audiences who are already interested in exactly what you offer.

What Bókun offers from the customer perspective…

Bókun streamlines booking processes, making your business easier to find, book, and trust. Customers get a smoother experience — which leads to better reviews and more repeat bookings.

How Bókun changes the way customers interact with your business:

  1. Customers find you quickly. Whether they’re searching on Viator, Google, or your website, they can see availability and book instantly — no phone call or email required. You’re reachable 24/7 without any additional work on your part.
  2. Everyone is notified instantly. New reservations automatically appear in your Bókun calendar. Bókun also sends the customer an immediate confirmation email with all their booking details.
  3. Customers receive a digital ticket. They can save it to their phone or print it out, so check-in is fast and professional.
  4. Customers can self-manage. If they need to cancel or make a change, they can do it through their self-service portal without contacting your team. Then you receive a notification and your calendar updates automatically.
  5. After the tour, the follow-up is automatic. Bókun sends a post-tour email thanking customers and inviting feedback. You can include links to Tripadvisor, Google, or any other review platform — making it as easy as possible for happy customers to leave a review that helps you win the next one.

Bókun packages & how to get started

All new users can get started with Bókun and test the features with our 14-day free trial (no credit card required).

After the trial period, you can upgrade to the START plan. This includes all the features we discussed above for $49/month and 1.5% online booking fees. We waive Bókun booking fees on Viator reservations and never charge for offline bookings.

We also offer two enterprise-level plans — PLUS and PREMIUM — for teams with more specialised requirements. These include advanced features like agent portals, subvendor management, resource allocations, and Zapier. They also come with dedicated onboarding, priority support, and a yearly strategy call with Bókun’s team.

2. Bookeo

Bookeo homepage: Booking software to manage and grow your business

Bookeo is an online booking platform that has been around since 2012 and serves a variety of businesses — salons, spas, tutors, coaches, yoga studios, and experience providers. Since its debut, it’s carved out a solid reputation as a reliable, no-nonsense software solution for tour and activity businesses.

Users like that Bookeo is easy to use — with reviewers consistently mentioning how quickly they got up and running — and the flat-fee pricing model is straightforward. You pay your monthly subscription, and that’s it. No booking fees on top. For operators running higher-priced experiences where percentage-based fees would really add up, that structure is appealing.

Overall, Bookeo covers the operational basics well: online booking widgets, real-time availability, staff management, automated communications, and a kiosk mode that lets walk-in customers book and sign waivers on-site via QR code.

That said, Bookeo is best thought of as a system for managing your existing bookings rather than one that actively helps you grow them.

  • OTA connections exist, but are limited compared to most competitors
  • There’s no reseller marketplace
  • The plans themselves cap you on products, staff logins, and monthly bookings — operators scaling up often hit a ceiling faster than expected

For smaller teams that want an affordable, dependable system to handle reservations without a lot of complexity, it works. But anyone looking for serious growth will quickly see Bookeo’s limits.

Features

  • Online booking widget
  • Product management
  • Availability management
  • Customisable booking management calendar
  • Staff management
  • OTA connections & channel management
  • Integrated POS payment system
  • Integrations with online payment processors like Stripe
  • Automated communications to send booking confirmations, reminders & follow-ups
  • Portals for customers to reschedule or cancel reservations
  • Waitlisting tools
  • Upselling tools
  • Options to sell merchandise, gift cards, & vouchers
  • Options to offer virtual tours — for example, if you provide cooking experiences, you could offer those via live stream and cook with customers around the world.
  • Reporting

Pricing

Bookeo offers three packages for tour operators:

  • The Standard plan ($39.95/month) supports 20 products, 20 staff logins, and 1,000 bookings per month.
  • The Large plan ($79.95/month) supports 40 products, 40 staff logins, and 2,000 bookings per month.
  • The X-large plan ($119.95/month) supports 60 products, 60 staff logins, and 3,000 bookings per month.

3. Xola

Xola homepage: Online Booking Software.

Xola is a booking platform built for tour and activity operators, best known for its intuitive, modern interface — both on the back end for operators and the customer-facing checkout side. It’s most appealing to teams looking to amp up direct website bookings. The booking widgets are designed to convert, with a streamlined booking experience and checkout flow that keeps drop-offs low. And it has handy automated abandoned-cart retargeting to capture the folks who do dip before completing their bookings.

Xola also packs in some marketing tools with its XolaBot — an automation tool that manages upsells, follow-ups, and dynamic pricing adjustments around the clock. Xola also integrates with Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, and Google Ads so you can trace bookings back to specific campaigns and understand what’s actually driving revenue.

On the operations side, Xola covers booking and availability management, resource management, guide scheduling, digital waivers, waitlists, and reporting that breaks down performance by product and channel. On the growth side, in addition to its online booking engine widgets, it offers OTA connections and a reseller network.

Pricing-wise, Xola is relatively inexpensive. It charges travellers a variable partner fee at checkout — starting at 2.39% + 30¢ per transaction. The thing is, the fee can climb as high as 6% for international transactions, and it can be hard to tell which customers will pay what. And a few reviewers have noted the visible checkout fee can hurt booking conversions (when Xola’s whole thing is to increase direct bookings).

Features

  • Website building service
  • Online booking widgets
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Distribution network
  • Availability management
  • Inventory management
  • Staff management
  • Phone booking system to manage offline reservations
  • Native point-of-sale (POS)
  • CRM
  • Marketing tools to promote your tours & retarget customers
  • Digital waiver solution
  • Customisable tickets (and ticket scanning tools for convenient check-in)
  • Reporting
  • Mobile apps

4. TicketingHub

TicketingHub homepage: Booking and ticketing software tour operators trust

TicketingHub is a cloud-based ticketing and booking system used by tour operators and attractions worldwide. The brand works primarily with teams managing high-volume ticket sales — while they previously only worked with enterprises, they’ve now made their solution accessible to fast-growing teams of all sizes.

Users say the platform has a solid toolkit for both operations management and growth: booking and availability management, resource management, team scheduling, digital waivers, group bookings, QR code check-in, POS, booking widgets, 50+ OTA connections, and a reseller portal with affiliate tracking. In addition, users praise TicketingHub for its strong customer support — the team is responsive, hands-on, and the product is consistently updated.

Like Xola above, TicketingHub is fee-based (with no monthly subscriptions), which makes it a popular choice for smaller operators or seasonal businesses that don’t want a subscription running through the off-season.

However, one thing to flag here: they charge fees on every booking — both online and offline bookings. The typical fee is 3%, but OTA integrations add an extra 2%, so any booking that comes through Viator, GetYourGuide, or a connected channel costs you 5%. For operators driving serious volume through OTAs, that stacks up quickly.

Find more TicketingHub reviews here.

Features

  • Online booking widgets
  • Central calendar with real-time availability management
  • Channel management & 50+ OTA connections
  • Reseller portal & affiliate tracking links
  • Resource management
  • Team management & staff scheduling
  • CRM
  • Automated email & SMS communications
  • Abandoned cart recovery
  • Waitlists
  • Guest list & tour manifests
  • QR code ticket scanning & check-in
  • Group booking management
  • Package builder
  • Upselling & merchandise sales
  • Gift cards & vouchers
  • Multi-currency & multilingual support
  • POS system (iOS & Android, works offline)
  • Reporting dashboards

Pricing

TicketingHub charges a 3% booking fee on all reservations (online or offline). They charge higher booking fees for OTA integrations (3% standard fee + 2% integration fee = 5% OTA booking fees).

5. Rezdy

Rezdy homepage: The tour booking system that will grow your business by 35%

Rezdy is one of the most widely known booking platforms in the tours and activities space— it’s a massive brand that works with thousands of operators across more than 100 countries. And in 2023, it merged with Checkfront and Regiondo to expand its reach even further.

Rezdy is a pretty cut-and-dry solution with all the essential features you’d expect from tour operator software: operations management tools like real-time availability, resource management, automated communications, check-in tools, and mobile apps, as well as growth drivers like online booking widgets, OTA channel management, and a reseller network. For operators who want a familiar, widely adopted system, it’s a reasonable choice.

The issue is that at Rezdy’s price point, you’d expect more. It’s a super standard solution with nothing unique to bring to the table. Yet they’re one of the more expensive options around.

Rezdy’s subscriptions cost $49/month at Foundation, $99/month at Accelerate, and $249/month at Expansion — and most operators need at least the Accelerate plan to unlock everything they need to run their business. In addition to the subscription, Rezdy charges 3% online booking fees. While Rezdy is a recognisable brand name, that doesn’t really justify the cost. It’s like paying for a designer label when you can get a similar (if not better) product elsewhere.

Find more Rezdy reviews here.

Features

  • One-click website builder
  • Online booking engine
  • Reservation management
  • Live availability
  • Connections with OTAs & channel management
  • Reseller network
  • Product management
  • Upselling tools
  • Automated customer communications
  • Check-in tools like mobile tickets & ticket scanning
  • RezdyPay — Rezdy’s native payment gateway — and integrations with solutions like Stripe, PayPal, Google & Apple Pay
  • Integrations & API
  • Reporting
  • Mobile apps

Pricing

Rezdy offers a 21-day free trial, three paid plans, and custom enterprise packages:

  • Foundation ($49/month and 3% online booking fees): This basic package only includes online booking widgets, guest manifests, centralised resource management, and mobile apps. You can get by here, but it’s not totally recommended.
  • Accelerate ($99/month and 3% online booking fees): This is Rezdy’s recommended plan because it provides access to all of Rezdy’s essential tools for operations management and distribution.
  • Expansion ($249/month and 3% online booking fees): This is Rezdy’s enterprise package with advanced reporting, bulk session management, as well as API and webhooks for deeper platform customisation.

6. Checkfront

Checkfront homepage: The Most Flexible Booking Software for Every Experience

Next on our list, Checkfront has been around since 2010 and has historically been the go-to solution for small businesses looking to transition to tour booking software. It offers 100+ features and is super flexible to support a variety of operators, such as those running multi-day tours and mixed products like tours and rentals.

However, as we mentioned above, Checkfront merged with Rezdy not long ago, and its popularity has somewhat taken a hit since.

While Checkfront used to offer great value for money — 100+ features for only a 3% online booking fee — they’ve increased their pricing to better align with Rezdy’s. Now, they charge everyone $99/month plus a 3% online booking fee.

Despite the price hike, users say Checkfront hasn’t released any new features or made improvements that justify the higher rate. They haven’t released any new OTA connections, partnerships, or other growth drivers, and its standard operations management toolkit remains the same.

The platform is still versatile, and the support team still earns good marks. But paying both a high subscription fee and booking fees — for a product that hasn’t really evolved in recent years — is a hard sell when there are more affordable options around.

Find more Checkfront reviews here.

Features

  • Website builder
  • Online booking engine widgets
  • Centralised booking calendar
  • Availability management
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Partner network
  • Product management
  • Resource management
  • Upselling tools, including options to sell add-ons & bundle products
  • Custom form builders and waivers to send to customers before their tours
  • Mobile tickets & ticket scanning
  • Marketing tools, including customer booking map, customer outreach & ROI tracking
  • Integrations with a variety of online payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
  • POS integrations & invoicing tools
  • 50+ integrations & Checkfront API to create custom integrations
  • Reporting

Pricing

Checkfront charges a $99/month subscription fee and 3% booking fees. You can either cover the booking fees or pass them along to customers.

7. Regiondo

Regiondo homepage: Online tour booking software

The last name in the Rezdy parent group is Regiondo. We mention them because they’re a tour operator booking software we’ve discussed throughout this guide, and a popular brand you’re likely to see while researching solutions (especially in European markets, particularly Germany and Italy). However, we don’t strongly recommend them because pricing is pretty steep — and they’ve just recently increased pricing, again.

Regiondo charges:

  • A monthly subscription — $69/month for Starter, $117/month for Advanced, and custom quotes for the Enterprise plan
  • Online booking fees — exact rates not disclosed
  • A website builder add-on for $1,174 (one-time fee)

The steep pricing here is pretty typical for a Rezdy-affiliated company. That seems to be the major gripe with all of these brands. They offer standard toolkits, but charge an arm and a leg for them. The value for money just isn’t there.

But we shouldn’t diss Regiondo too hard. There are some notable advantages for European-based teams. Multi-language and multi-currency support are baked into the platform rather than bolted on, and the OTA channel manager covers the European distribution sites that matter most to operators working across those markets.

Now, do those advantages make the platform worth it? You’ll have to be the judge of that.

Find more Regiondo reviews here.

Features

  • A one-click website builder to create custom sites (optional add-on)
  • Online booking engine
  • Central booking calendar with real-time availability management
  • Product management
  • Resource management
  • Channel management & connections with OTAs
  • Local reseller marketplace
  • Touch POS to manage walk-up reservations & payments
  • Online payment support through select payment processing tools
  • Multi-language & multi-currency support
  • Marketing tools
  • CRM
  • Features to automate discount codes & review request emails
  • Check-in tools like ticket scanning
  • Mobile apps
  • Reporting

Pricing

Regiondo’s packages are as follows:

  • The Starter plan ($69/month with online booking fees) isRegiondo’s entry-level plan that grants access to the booking widget, channel management, and online payment gateways.
  • The Advanced plan ($117/month with online booking fees) is Regiondo’s upgraded subscription that provides access to more features, including resource management, automated communications, upselling tools like add-ons, and API access. This is noted as Regiondo’s recommended package.
  • The Enterprise plan (custom pricing) is Regiondo’s most advanced plan that provides access to all features and integrations.

Regiondo also offers a website-builder add-on for $1,174 (one-time fee).

8. TripWorks

TripWorks homepage: The first Business Intelligence powered booking platform built for tour & activity operators

TripWorks — like TicketingHub above — is another used-to-be enterprise tour management software that’s recently adjusted its offerings to support teams of all sizes.

As you might expect with an enterprise solution, TripWorks offers a pretty advanced toolkit. On the operations side, it includes a central calendar, availability management, resource management, digital waivers, QR code check-in, and POS. And on the growth side, it offers OTA connections across 40+ channels, a reseller marketplace with wholesale and commission-structure support, abandoned-cart recovery, dynamic pricing, tipping tools, and a deep set of marketing integrations (Google Analytics 4, TikTok, CallRail, and Data Studio).

The platform holds an impressive 4.9-star rating on Capterra, and operators who’ve committed to TripWorks say it’s worth it. They like the dedicated account managers and hands-on support, and they frequently call out the tipping features as making a real difference in earnings. One reviewer noted that tips went from $250–$400 to $800–$1,000 per tour group after switching.

The sticking point is high fees. TripWorks charges 6% booking fees and a 2.9% + 30¢ transaction fee per booking — taking nearly 9% from each booking. Operators can pass those to customers, making the platform free to run, but visible fees at checkout risk scaring customers away.

Features

  • Online booking widget (that connects to existing sites)
  • Reservation management
  • Product management
  • Availability management
  • Connections with OTAs & channel management
  • Reseller marketplace

  • Dynamic pricing
  • Digital waiver solution
  • Native POS

  • Marketing tools to build PPC campaigns & improve your reach on social media
  • Integrations with marketing & business applications

9. FareHarbor

FareHarbor homepage: Powerful booking software. Unmatched support.

FareHarbor is a Booking.com brand with a long-standing industry history, having worked with tour and activity providers at all growth stages for 10+ years. It’s another super popular name in the tour operator software space — and one many teams have probably already heard of. While FareHarbor is highly rated and comes with a comprehensive toolkit, they’re another name with notably high fees.

On the operations side, FareHarbor covers the essentials: a central booking dashboard, availability management, resource management, staff and guide assignment, digital waivers, automated communications, and check-in tools. For growth, it offers online booking widgets, OTA connections, and a distribution network through FHDN. And part of FareHarbor’s appeal is that its team handles the initial product setup at no charge, which removes a lot of the friction of getting started.

But, as mentioned, fees are pretty high here, and costs get complicated as you lean into the full toolkit.

  • FareHarbor charges variable booking fees of up to 6% and 8%. Variable fees are risky because they can change from booking to booking for seemingly no reason. And FareHarbor automatically passes all fees on to customers, creating visible price discrepancies when travellers compare your rates across different platforms.

Reviewers of FareHarbor have noted that these high fees and cost discrepancies have negatively impacted their booking conversions, as customers either see these fees or become confused by pricing and drop out before completing their booking.

  • The website-building service runs $5,000 upfront or $499/month — and FareHarbor retains ownership, so if you leave the site stays with them.
  • SEO services add another $2.2k to $5k (depending on your plan).

For those who want to invest in a legacy brand and have the budget to do so, FareHarbor can be a good option. But smaller businesses that want to stretch their dollar can find more cost-effective solutions elsewhere on this list.

Read FareHarbor reviews here.

Features

  • Website-building services — FareHarbor charges an extra fee for this service
  • Online booking engine
  • Customisable dashboard to manage all bookings (offline & online) in one place
  • Channel management & connections with OTAs like Expedia
  • Distribution network (FHDN)
  • Product (Inventory) management to list activities & monitor business resources
  • Availability management
  • Staff management
  • Features to improve the customer experience: portals to modify bookings, automated communications, online waiver solutions, fast check-in tools, and memberships
  • Reporting
  • Native POS (with transaction fees to use) and integrations with Stripe
  • Mobile apps

Pricing

FareHarbor charges online booking fees of up to 6% and 8%.

They also charge $5k (or $499/month) for the website-building service, $2.2k or $5k for SEO services (depending on your plan), and 20% commission on all bookings through FHDN.

10. Peek Pro

Peek Pro homepage: More Bookings, Happier Customers.

Peek Pro is a well-known booking and operations platform for tour and activity operators with a ton of tools to push long-term growth: OTA connections, a reseller network, abandoned cart recovery, waitlists, and dynamic pricing with AI-driven adjustments based on demand, weather, and historical data.

They also offer a unique feature, Peek Capital, that allows business owners to secure financing through Peek’s VC network — giving smaller teams access to funds that might otherwise be difficult to secure.

On top of everything here, Peek has recently updated their software with an AI assistant, Peek Copilot, that handles marketing content creation and back-office tasks like staff scheduling.

In addition to its AI assistant, Peek offers many of the expected operations management tools, like a central calendar, availability management, resource management, digital waivers, automated communications, check-in tools, and reporting.

However, like FareHarbor and TripWorks above, Peek Pro’s fees are on the higher end — running as high as 6 % and 8% per booking. And many reviewers note the unpredictability of these fees. Multiple operators describe being unable to get a clear explanation of how their fees are calculated from booking to booking. And when something goes wrong, getting a resolution means raising a ticket and waiting days rather than hours, which operators say is a real problem when a booking issue surfaces mid-season.

When you’re looking at fees this high, you have to really consider how they’ll impact margins, and if the benefits of the system outweigh the costs.

Check out more Peek Pro reviews here.

Features

  • Online booking engine
  • Customisable booking calendar
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Reseller network
  • Resource management
  • Availability management
  • Marketing tools to recapture lost sales, including abandoned booking follow-ups & waitlists
  • Add-ons, bundles, memberships, gift cards, vouchers, and promo codes
  • Dynamic pricing with AI-driven demand-based adjustments
  • Peek Copilot — AI tool for marketing, content creation & workflow automation
  • Peek Capital — business financing through Peek’s VC network
  • Automated customer notifications
  • Digital waivers & fast check-in features
  • Native POS & flexible online payment options
  • Integrations & API
  • Mobile apps
  • Reporting

Pricing

Peek Pro charges booking fees as high as 6% and 8%.

11. Rezgo

Rezgo homepage: Online Booking Software

Rezgo is an online booking platform for tour operators, attractions, transportation companies, and lesson providers that covers a broad range of experience types — from walking tours and zipline experiences to bike rentals, rail tours, and surf schools. It’s a versatile system that works across a lot of different operator models.

The platform covers both operations and growth: on the operations side, booking and real-time availability management, resource management, automated communications, digital waivers, guest manifests, check-in tools, and a native POS; and on the growth side, OTA connections, a reseller network, and concierge services.

And the concierge services are worth calling out here as they’re pretty unique — tour operators can make their inventory available directly to hotel concierges, sales desks, and DMOs, who can then book tours on behalf of their guests in real time. It’s a purpose-built distribution channel for the concierge relationship, which is something most platforms don’t offer.

On pricing, Rezgo charges 4.9% for online bookings and 0.9% for POS transactions, with no monthly subscription fee. After seeing fees of 6% and 8% from several platforms above, that’s a more reasonable rate — but it’s still not the lowest on this list. For operators doing high-volume year-round, a subscription-plus-lower-fee model could work out to be cheaper overall.

Find more Rezgo reviews here.

Features

  • Website builder
  • Online booking widgets (for WordPress sites)
  • Open API to develop custom online booking solutions
  • Customisable booking calendar
  • Connections with OTAs & channel management
  • Reseller network
  • Concierge services (to support concierge relationships)
  • Live & dynamic availability
  • Resource management to monitor equipment availability
  • Flexible pricing tools & multi-currency features
  • Options to sell gift cards & merchandise
  • Integrations with popular payment gateways (e.g., Stripe & PayPal)
  • Native POS
  • Invoice management
  • Guest waivers
  • Fast check-in tools, like mobile tickets
  • Reporting

Pricing

Rezgo charges a 4.9% booking fee for online reservations and a 0.9% fee for POS bookings.

12. Resmark Systems

Resmark homepage: Maximize Your Bookings, Minimize Your Effort

Resmark Systems was built by an outdoor adventure company that had been running its own tours since the early 1960s and couldn’t find software that fit how they actually operated. That history shows in how the tour booking system is put together, as it’s built around the practical demands of activity-based businesses.

The platform covers the operational tools you’d expect — a central calendar, availability management, CRM, automated customer communications, inventory management, resource management, digital waivers through its built-in WaiverSign tool, accounting tools, and reporting.

One standout feature is the automated lead nurture system, which captures enquiries from website visitors who don’t book right away and automatically follows up with them. The support team also gets consistently strong marks, with users describing them as very knowledgeable and accessible.

But there are a few downsides here:

  • Resmark falls short in distribution. It offers some OTA connections and a reseller network through TrueConnect, but its reach is more limited than that of most platforms on this list. Operators who want to really lean into external channels for new bookings will probably find it lacking.
  • Users say the user experience is a little clunky, and the platform UI is outdated; it could use a more modern update.
  • Pricing feels a little high, given that Resmark offers standard operational tools, lacks growth drivers, and feels outdated. Resmark tacks a $500 setup fee onto the budget-friendly, seasonal plan, so it’s not actually all that inexpensive. And the package for year-round operators is $95/month with 2.5% fees.

Find more Resmark Systems reviews here.

Features

  • Website building services
  • Booking widgets
  • Channel management & connections with OTAs
  • Availability management
  • CRM & automated customer communications
  • Digital waiver solution
  • Integrations with popular payment gateways
  • Dynamic pricing & other advanced pricing options
  • Options to sell add-ons
  • Options to create tour packages
  • Advanced booking management tools like notes & task management
  • Inventory management
  • Resource management
  • Reporting
  • Accounting tools

Pricing

Resmark Systems offers three plans. All plans include full feature access.

  • Option 1 ($15/month with 3.5% transaction fees): This is the most affordable plan and is recommended for seasonal businesses or those who plan to pass transaction fees to customers. Resmark Systems charges a $500 set-up fee in this plan.
  • Option 2 ($95/month with 2.5% transaction fees): This is recommended for teams that operate year-round and want a lower transaction fee. Resmark Systems does not charge set-up fees in this plan.
  • Enterprise (Custom pricing): This is for large teams processing over $3 million per year.

Resmark Systems offers a separate plan for its reseller network. This plan is free, but you must schedule a demo with their team to join.

13. Beyonk & BookingHound

Beyonk homepage: Simplify ticketing, supercharge marketing

Beyonk and BookingHound are two platforms owned by the same parent company, Beyonk Group, and together they form the largest independent experience booking platform in the UK — though both now serve operators worldwide.

They’re built for different use cases: Beyonk is the booking software for tour and activity providers, while BookingHound is the more advanced ticketing platform aimed at attractions, event venues, and businesses managing high-volume ticket sales.

Both platforms cover the core toolkit: a central calendar, availability management, customer relationship management, online booking widgets, OTA connections, a reseller marketplace, dynamic pricing, automated communications, affiliate codes, and analytics tools from Meta and Google.

Where they differ is in the extras: Beyonk adds ePOS integrations, staff scheduling, and Zapier, while BookingHound layers on capacity management, waitlisting, membership and season pass sales, merchandise, abandoned cart retargeting, and customer self-service portals.

Users rate both platforms highly for ease of use and customer support — onboarding in particular gets consistent praise.

And pricing is straightforward by this list’s standards. Beyonk charges 4% booking fees with no monthly subscription. BookingHound adds a $38/month subscription on top of the same 4% fee.

Worth noting that both platforms are relatively young — Beyonk launched in 2019 and acquired BookingHound in 2022 — and some users have flagged that certain features, reporting in particular, are still catching up.

Find more Beyonk reviews here & BookingHound reviews here.

Features

  • Online booking widget
  • Custom checkout workflows
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Reseller marketplace
  • Tools to manage online or in-person payments
  • Options to cross-sell products & offer add-ons
  • Options to sell gift cards & issue discount codes
  • Dynamic pricing
  • Options to offer free events
  • Automated customer communications
  • Content management system (CMS)
  • Affiliate codes
  • Reporting
  • Analytics tools from Meta and Google

  • Options to sell memberships or season tickets
  • Options to sell merchandise
  • Customer self-service portals

  • BookingHound charges $38/month and 4% booking fees.

14. TrekkSoft

Trekksoft homepage: Tour booking solutions that make your life easier

TrekkSoft is a tour-booking system with a strong focus on European tour operators offering outdoor adventures, sightseeing tours, and destination-based experiences. It markets itself to operators at all growth stages and has been in the industry long enough to have built out a fairly comprehensive feature set.

That said, TrekkSoft includes a pretty standard toolkit for both the operation and growth sides. You get more or less exactly what you’d expect.

On the operations side, TrekkSoft covers a central booking calendar, availability management, resource management, digital waivers, automated communications, and POS through both desktop and mobile. On the growth side, it offers a website builder, OTA connections, a reseller network, and combo product tools that let operators bundle experiences together. Advanced pricing options — private rates and special seat pricing — are also available.

While this gamut of features covers most bases and works well for most teams — TrekkSoft loses us with its pricing. They charge some of the most expensive subscriptions around, without offering anything competitors don’t.

The entry-level Starter plan is $49/month, but TrekkSoft really limits the features and growth drivers here, so most operators realistically need the Accelerate plan at $175/month to get full functionality. And the enterprise plan (Ultimate) is $292/month.

TrekkSoft also charges booking fees across all three plans, and offline bookings carry a separate per-booking charge. On top of that, operators pay a 2.5% + 29¢ Payoo transaction fee for every online payment.

Once everything stacks up across a busy month, the total cost sits well above what several comparable platforms on this list charge.

Read more TrekkSoft reviews here.

Features

  • Custom website builder
  • Online booking engine widgets
  • Central booking calendar with real-time availability management
  • Channel management & connections with OTAs
  • Reseller network
  • Product management
  • Combo products
  • Advanced pricing tools (like special seat pricing & private rates)
  • Resource management
  • Digital waivers
  • Features to offer discounts & gift cards
  • Payoo, TrekkSoft’s native payment processing system
  • Native POS (also available on mobile)
  • Integrations with Stripe & PayPal
  • Google Analytics integrations
  • Automated customer communications
  • Reporting tools
  • Mobile apps

Pricing

TrekkSoft offers three packages:

  • Starter plan: $49/month with 3% online booking fees and $1.76 per offline booking. This offers the basics to bring your business online and connect with OTAs, but it provides limited access to the reseller network.
  • Accelerate plan: $175 per month plus 2.5% online booking fees and $1.17 per offline booking. This plan unlocks more features, including inventory management, and grants full access to the reseller network.
  • Ultimate plan: $292 per month plus 2% online booking fees and 59¢ per offline booking. The enterprise plan includes TrekkSoft’s business intelligence suite and access to the developer API.

TrekkSoft charges a transaction fee for all online payments through Payoo (2.5% + 29¢ — the same rate across all packages).

15. Ventrata

Ventrata homepage: Your Ticket to Success

Ventrata is a booking and ticketing platform built for high-volume tour operators and attractions, and its client list includes some of the biggest names in the industry — Big Bus Tours, the Empire State Building, and Discover Banff. They work exclusively with enterprises that bring in at least $1M in annual revenue.

The platform is built to handle thousands of bookings at scale, with multi-channel sales, OTA connections, a reseller portal, advanced inventory management, and dedicated hardware, including POS terminals, self-service kiosks, and turnstile integrations. And the offline POS capability is a notable strength for venues where internet reliability isn’t guaranteed.

Reviews are limited, but are very positive. The support team and ongoing product development both get called out specifically, and operators describe the onboarding as thorough and hands-on.

But there are some obvious barriers with Ventrata. You won’t be considered unless you’re making at least a million each year. And pricing reflects this enterprise positioning. Ventrata’s Standard plan starts at $575/month with 2% transaction fees, rising to $2,300/month for Premium and $5,750/month for Elite.

For large-scale operations managing serious ticket volume across multiple locations, it’s worth a look. But for everyone else, Ventrata probably isn’t your speed.

Features

  • Online booking widgets
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Reseller network
  • Ticket POS
  • Retail POS
  • Self-service Kiosk

  • Regulation compliance
  • Fraud detection
  • Back-office sales tools
  • Automated invoicing
  • Options to sell gift cards
  • Real-time reporting dashboard with custom reporting
  • Mobile app (for Android)

Pricing

Ventrata offers three plans; the site will recommend one based on your annual revenue.

Its packages include:

  • Standard plan ($575/month with 2% transaction fees): This package includes all core features and 24/7 chat support.
  • Premium plan ($2,300/month with 1% transaction fees): This package includes more advanced tools like webhooks and custom payment gateways. It also has a dedicated account manager to handle onboarding and setup.
  • Elite plan ($5,750/month with 0.5% transaction fees): This plan provides access to all features and integrations and also includes an account manager.

16. GP Travel Hub

GP Travel Hub homepage: Tour Operator Software

GP Travel Hub is an enterprise travel technology platform built by GP Solutions, a software company with over 20 years of experience working with tour operators, DMCs, and travel agencies. Like Ventrata, this one is firmly in the enterprise category — it’s designed for mid-to-large travel businesses that have outgrown standard online booking software and need something significantly more powerful.

GP Travel Hub is built to manage the full complexity of a large travel operation in one place — supplier contracting, dynamic packaging, multi-brand management, GDS connections, B2B and B2C sales channels, and full accounting and finance tools. Operators who use it describe big-time efficiency gains, particularly in managing high volumes of supplier content and automating workflows that previously required multiple separate systems.

Pricing isn’t published, and implementation plans are customised to your business needs, so you’ll need to contact GP Solutions directly to understand what it would actually cost.

For larger travel companies managing complex itineraries, multiple brands, and supplier networks, this solution is worth a conversation. But for independent tour operators running day tours or activities, it’s far more than you need.

Features

  • Online booking engine
  • B2B & B2C sales channels
  • Itinerary builder & dynamic packaging
  • Channel management & connections with OTAs
  • Supplier & contract management
  • Inventory management
  • Availability management
  • CRM
  • Automated customer communications

  • Integrations with payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, and more)
  • Finance & accounting tools
  • Reporting

Pricing

GP Travel Hub offers custom quotes based on company size and requirements. You have to contact them for more information on rates.

17. Softrip

Softrip homepage: Multi-Day Tour Operator Software to Power Your Business

Softrip is a management platform built specifically for multi-day tour operators running escorted tours, custom groups, FIT travel, and fixed or dynamic packages. It was originally built inside Gate 1 Travel, one of the largest tour companies in the US, before being brought to market.

Since the reservation software was built by people who actually ran tours at scale, it proves to handle the complex tasks most systems can’t (pricing per departure date, dynamic airfare shopping, promotions with multiple discount and bonus structures).

It covers the full scope of a multi-day operation within a single system: reservations, product management, operations, CRM, integrated payments, and reporting. It also offers a complete accounting software, which is pretty unique in this realm. On the growth side, it notably connects with major GDS systems — Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo/TravelPort, and WorldSpan — as well as hotel bed banks, rail providers, and DMCs.

Reviewers who’ve used multiple platforms over long careers consistently describe it as one of the most complete options available for multi-day operators. But we can’t stress enough — Softrip is not built for operators running simple day tours, it’s for teams managing serious multi-day complexity.

Find more Softrip reviews here.

Features

  • Online booking engine
  • Multi-day itinerary building (escorted tours, FIT, custom groups & dynamic packages)
  • Product management with cost & sell pricing controls
  • Centralised reservations management
  • Supplier & vendor management
  • Automated customer & supplier communications
  • CRM & marketing tools
  • Inventory management
  • Integrated payments & accounting with built-in general ledger
  • Dynamic airfare shopping
  • GDS connections (Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo/TravelPort & WorldSpan)
  • Connections with hotel bed banks, rail providers & DMCs
  • Reporting & KPI dashboards

Pricing

Softrip doesn’t publish pricing online. You must contact their team for a custom quote.

18. WeTravel

WeTravel homepage: The operating system for multi-day travel businesses

WeTravel is a booking and trip management platform built for group and multi-day tour operators. It’s designed around the full lifecycle of a custom group trip — building the itinerary, taking bookings, collecting payments, managing traveller details, and paying suppliers — all from one place.

The operations toolkit includes trip management, an AI-powered itinerary builder, automated communications, eSignatures, waivers, manifests, and traveller portals.

But payment management is where WeTravel really stands out. It offers flexible payment plans, instalment options, multi-currency checkout, low processing fees on US bank transfers (1%), direct supplier payouts, and a supplier marketplace where operators can find and pay vendors. For operators who’ve previously juggled PayPal invoices, wire transfers, and manual payment tracking across multiple tools, that consolidation is a huge convenience.

The gap is on the growth side. WeTravel is built to manage and convert your existing bookings effectively — OTA channel management and outbound distribution tools aren’t part of its functionality. For operators who want to explore external channels to drive new bookings, you’ll need to pair it with something else or look elsewhere.

Find more WeTravel user reviews here.

Features

  • Custom booking pages
  • Trip management dashboard
  • Smart booking tools, like form builders and eSignatures
  • Inventory management
  • Customer review widgets
  • Booking widgets and online checkout
  • Flexible pricing options to improve booking conversions
  • Online payment processor, WeTravel
  • Stripe integration
  • Multi-currency support
  • Refund management
  • Branded email communications
  • Automated communications
  • Abandoned cart retargeting
  • Waitlists
  • Customer dashboards
  • Travel insurance affiliate link of choice
  • Reporting dashboards
  • Integrations & API

Pricing

WeTravel offers a limited free plan, an upgraded package, and custom enterprise plans.

The free plan includes access to basic features like the booking engine, trip management dashboard, form builder, and automated customer communications.

The upgraded package, Pro ($79/month), includes access to more advanced tools, such as inventory management, auto-billing, and financial reporting, as well as instant payouts.

The custom enterprise plans include full feature access and are tailored to your business requirements and goals; you must contact WeTravel for more information on these packages.

WeTravel also charges fees to use its payment processing solution. (You can also connect the platform with Stripe.)

19. Rezometry

Rezometry homepage: Power Your Growth

Rezometry is a reservation management platform built for multi-day tour operators, wholesalers, and DMCs. Like Softrip and WeTravel above, it’s designed for operators managing complex trip programmes rather than straightforward day tours — think custom itineraries, multiple vendors, multiple currencies, and many moving parts.

It comes with everything a multi-day operator needs: online booking management, a CRM, supplier and contract management, cost and sell pricing, dynamic and fixed packaging, accounting software, and reporting. On the distribution side, it integrates with OTAs like Viator, other reservation systems like Ventrata and WeTravel, hotel channel managers like Synxis and Inntopia, and Sabre GDS for air.

Reviewers describe the support team as one of the best parts of the platform — multiple operators even mention that Rezometry staff came on-site to help with migration and setup. And one reviewer called it “one of the best-value systems in the industry.”

That said, the interface gets the occasional knock for feeling a little dated in spots, and users note that once you’ve created certain items like products, you can’t delete them, which is minor but frustrating when you’re still figuring out your setup.

Find more Rezometry reviews here.

Features

  • Online booking engine
  • Multi-day itinerary building (fixed, dynamic, custom packages, upgrades, add-ons)
  • Centralised reservations management
  • Client documentation (proposals, itineraries, invoices, vouchers)
  • Supplier & vendor management (contracts, pricing, allotments, payments)
  • Channel management & OTA connections
  • Inventory & availability management
  • Finance & accounting tools (including general ledger, AR, AP, P&L)
  • CRM integration (HubSpot)
  • Payment integrations (Stripe, Airwallex, Authorize.net, & more)
  • Automated customer communications
  • Client portal
  • Mobile apps (iOS & Android)
  • Reporting dashboard

Pricing

Rezometry offers custom quotes — you must book a demo to learn more about pricing.

20. Vamoos

Vamoos homepage

The last name on our list, Vamoos, is a client-facing travel app platform rather than a booking or operations system — it’s worth being clear about that up front, because it serves a very different purpose from everything else on this list.

Tour operators use Vamoos to deliver trip information to travellers through a branded mobile app: itineraries, maps, documents, live flight alerts, real-time push notifications, weather forecasts, in-app messaging, and offline access to everything. And trip details can flow into the app automatically rather than being built out manually.

The app carries the operator’s own branding, and there’s even an option to get a fully white-labelled version published under your company name in the App Store and Google Play.

It sits alongside a booking system rather than replacing one, and integrates via open API with any reservation system or CRM — so you can use it in tandem with other tour operator software on this list.

The client experience is where it earns its reviews — consistently strong, with a particularly loyal following among luxury and boutique operators. Operators describe it as something travellers respond to, and Vamoos reports 50% higher rebooking rates among customers using the app.

The pricing is based on annual customer volume, starting at $318/month for teams with fewer than 500 customers per year and scaling up from there.

Find more Vamoos reviews here.

Features

  • Branded travel app (iOS & Android) with optional white-label version
  • Visual itinerary builder with image-led design & templates
  • Documents storage (available online & offline)
  • Live flight alerts & boarding pass access
  • Interactive maps with points of interest & offline access
  • Real-time push notifications & in-app messaging
  • Weather forecasts for trip destinations
  • Trip countdown & pre-departure inspiration tools
  • In-app e-brochure to promote future trips
  • AI image tool for itinerary content creation
  • Custom app features via Vamoos Studio
  • Open API & integrations with reservation systems & CRMs
  • Reporting

Pricing

Vamoos pricing is based on the number of annual customers.

  • Teams with less than 500 customers per year pay $318 per month.
  • Teams with more than 500 customers per year pay $622 per month.
  • Teams with more than 1k per year pay $926 per month.
  • Teams with more than 2.5k per year pay $1,399 per month.
  • Teams with more than 5k per year pay $1,845 per month.
  • Teams with more than 10k per year pay $2,528 per month.

Vamoos also offers a 10% discount for teams that pay annually.

Find Your Best Tour Operator Software

We get that all twenty platforms here are a lot to take in. And the truth is that most of them cover the same operational basics, which can make it difficult to compare your options.

But the things to pay attention to — where they actually diverge — are how much they cost, and how hard they work to grow your business.

On cost, the range on this list is dramatic. Some platforms charge 1.5% booking fees. Others take 8%. Some layer subscription fees on top of booking fees. Some charge separately for their website, their SEO, and their reseller network. That gap compounds fast once you’re running real volume — and it’s worth doing the maths before you commit.

On growth, most platforms offer OTA connections and a reseller network, but the depth varies enormously. Most platforms give you a channel manager and call it distribution.

Bókun is built to win on both fronts.

Our fees are among the lowest in the industry: $49/month and 1.5% online booking fees, with 0% Bókun booking fees on Viator reservations and always-free offline bookings. While competitors are taking 6% to 8% from every transaction, you’re keeping more of what you earn with Bókun and putting it back into what actually matters.

And on distribution, Bókun gives you an entire growth engine — nothing on this list comes close.
