Your tour guide takes guests on the experience. The platform shouldn't take a cut of it.

Walking tours, historical tours, winery tours, and ghost tours run recurring departures at moderate per-person prices. FareHarbor and Eventbrite take a percentage of every booking. Equaticket is a flat subscription. Pay once per month and keep every dollar your guide earned.

The problem

Per-person fees on recurring tours add up every single departure

A tour operator running 60 departures a month with an average of 12 guests at $35 per person brings in about $25,200 a month. At Eventbrite's rates, they're paying around $2,520 a month ($30,000+ a year) just for the privilege of collecting bookings online.

Per-tour fee models punish success. The more popular your tour, the more you pay. Equaticket's flat subscription is on a mission to end that: one predictable monthly cost regardless of how many guests walk through your door.

How it works

How Equaticket works for tours

Recurring tour scheduling.

Set up your tour once and publish every departure time as a recurring event. Each slot gets its own booking page with its own capacity. Paid plans handle unlimited recurring series.

Capacity per departure.

Set a maximum group size for each tour slot. When it fills, it closes automatically. No double-booking, no oversized groups that hurt the experience.

Promo codes for hotel partners.

Issue discount codes for concierge desks, hotel partners, and travel agents. Set usage limits and expiration dates, all included on paid plans.

Embed on your tour website.

Keep bookings on your site. The Equaticket embed widget handles tour selection, departure time, and checkout without sending guests to a third-party platform.

Your guest data for repeat business.

Every tour guest is in your audience dashboard. Export anytime. Your past guests are your best marketing for next season's tours and new routes you add.
