Booking software built for the wild side of tourism.

You can be taking real bookings within 48 hours. Onboarding is a single 90-minute Zoom call: we import your tours, set up your subdomain, plug in Yoco, configure your WhatsApp bot, and walk you through the dashboard. Sign up Friday, take your first paid booking by Monday morning.

No. Zero percent. Not now, not ever. You pay R2,000/month flat regardless of whether you do 10 bookings or 1,000. The more you grow, the cheaper we get per booking. FareHarbor charges 6% on every sale (passed to your customers as a visible surcharge). Bokun charges 1–1.5% plus monthly fees. We think that model punishes growth.

Hit pause. Billing stops. Your data stays safe. When you're ready to come back, unpause and you're live again instantly. No reactivation fee. No catch.

When a customer WhatsApps you to book, our Gemini-powered AI guides them step by step — tour, then date, then time, then guest count — with quick-tap buttons, no typing required. It holds the seats for 15 minutes and sends a secure Yoco payment link, confirming the booking automatically once they pay. Ask it a question instead and it answers instantly from your trained FAQs and live tour data. Your team can jump into any conversation from the Inbox and take over at any point — the bot hands control back when you step out.

Yes. Your booking flow lives on a branded subdomain (yourname.bookingtours.co.za). Your existing site can link straight into it — customers experience a single, branded flow. Custom domain mapping is on the roadmap if you'd rather use your own URL end-to-end.

One click cancels every booking on a date or slot. Each affected customer immediately receives a WhatsApp message and email with a link to your branded My Bookings page. They choose: reschedule to another day, take a voucher, or request a refund. Most pick reschedule. You don't send a single manual message. The cash stays in your account until they decide.

The platform includes a full marketing engine — landing pages, email campaigns, automations, promo codes — at no extra cost. If you want us to run your social media, content, and ads, that's available as an add-on from R6,500/month including vertical reels, content calendar, and Google/Meta Ads management. Start with the software, add marketing later if you want it.

South Africa. Your data is secured with row-level database security on every table, encrypted credentials (pgcrypto AES-GCM), HMAC-verified webhooks, and full POPIA compliance. You own your data — always — and can export it at any time.

You don't need to be. We build everything for you during the 90-minute onboarding call. The admin dashboard is designed for operators, not developers. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Booking·Tours.
