How to add multiple dates
We use one template for one tour.
If you have multiple dates on a tour, don't create copies of the tour with different dates - just add all the dates into one template.
Instant booking
By selecting "instant booking" option, you enable the client to pay for the tour immediately without any additional confirmation from you.

If you need to communicate with the client before confirming their participation in the tour, DO NOT activate this option.
When do I check the "tour is guaranteed" box?
By selecting "tour is guaranteed," you are confirming that the tour will take place regardless of the number of people in the group or other circumstances.

If this is not the case, and in order to conduct the tour you need to gather a minimum number of participants (for example, 3 people), then do not check the box, and write in the comments to the price or in the "important" block, at what number of participants the tour will definitely take place.

If the tour is cancelled due to a shortage of a group and there is no warning about it in the tour form on the website, you will have to return 100% of the prepayment to the tourists, including our commission.
Cancellation policies
Cancellation terms are your agreement with the client on our website when you cancel a reservation. They are the basis for resolving refund conflicts between travel experts and clients. You write them on the tour page.

The service commission is non-refundable, which means that in case of 100% refund you return 100% plus our commission to the client.

We recommend to indicate cancellation terms in details:
- What does the amount of prepayment refund depend on?
- Does the amount of refund depend on the number of days before the tour, if yes, what is it?
- Are there any options for transferring the prepayment to your other tours?

Example of cancellation conditions:
Cancellation 15 days or less before the start of the tour - no refund of prepayment. In other cases, refunds minus actual costs incurred (min. 15% of the tour price). If there are renewed restrictions on movement / border crossing - 100% prepayment is transferred without penalty to other dates with the issuance of a certificate.
If you find a replacement - 100% refund.

What's the difference between "day by day" and "conditions" blocks?
Important fields that will help tourists better understand the value and uniqueness of your tour are its description and the completed program in the "Day by Day" block.

In the tour description, tell customers what your tour will be about, what experiences and impressions the tourist will have, what places and attractions you will visit. It should be a small, but "selling", catchy text. The description is the first thing a tourist will see when he opens your tour.

There is no need to describe the whole program by hours in the description of the tour. There is a special block "Day by day" for this purpose.
In the "Day by Day" block you tell tourists your itinerary in detail. You can add no more than 3 photos to each day - do this to help the client visualize the trip.

If your new day repeats the program of the previous day, you can make that day similar to the last day in the appropriate column.

Another useful box for travelers is "Terms and Conditions." Write down what is included in the cost of participation. Please note: according to the rules of the service, tours with accommodation and excursion services included are published.

You can add for tourists paid options at their discretion in the "Additional services" block. It can be single accommodation, ordering of individual excursions, etc. The services will be offered to the client before booking.

What are the requirements for the photos and the tour cover?
