How It Works

Guests get a link to your guidebook

A digital guidebook is a mobile-first experience your guests open on their phone. No app download. No friction. Just a link or QR code and everything your guests need is already there.

Your guide provides guests
with a QR code

Before the experience begins, your guide shares a QR code or link. Guests scan it on their phone and the guidebook opens instantly in their browser. No app download, no friction.

  • Works on any phone, any browser
  • Guidebook personalizes to show that guide's profile
  • Print QR codes on your materials or share via text
Pro move

Send the guidebook link in the confirmation email and let the experience start the moment they buy a ticket.

Reference

Guests follow along
at their own pace

Guests are not expected to be on their phone the whole time. The guidebook is a resource they access at their leisure, during downtime, or when they want more detail about a stop.

Maps, stop descriptions, photos, allergy info, historical context. Everything is there when they want it.

Every guest leaves
you something

Most operators lose the guest the moment the experience ends. With Digital Guidebooks, emails, tips, reviews, and shares happen at the right moment while guests are still engaged.

  • Automatic email capture on every open
  • Local vs. visitor segmentation built in
  • Tip prompts at peak engagement
  • Review prompts while the experience is fresh
  • Share with a friend pre-loaded with coupon
  • A resource guide guests keep using long after the tour ends

Revenue Impact

Digital guidebooks
increase revenue

Better-paid guides drive better experiences

Digital tips run 10% higher than cash on average. The ask arrives while guests are still standing on your experience, grateful and phone already in hand.

Email capture turns guests into repeat customers

Every guest who opens the guidebook enters their email. Locals become repeat bookers. Visitors become referral sources.

Word-of-mouth built into every guidebook

Share With a Friend is pre-loaded with a 10% off incentive. Every guest becomes a marketing channel with zero extra work.

Cross-sell other experiences

Feature your other experiences inside the guidebook. A guest on your food tour learns about your history walk.

Guide Setup

Invite your guides
in one click

From your dashboard, invite guides by email. Guides log in themselves to update their own profile: bio, photo, social media links, and tipping links. They can also update guidebook content when needed. No hand-holding required.

  • One-click invite from your dashboard
  • Self-serve profile and content management
  • Unique guide code for each team member
  • One guidebook, all your guides
Guide training built in

Every guide is sent three short training videos that walk them through profile setup, presenting the guidebook, and maximizing tips. Plus a dedicated resource page with everything they need. No meetings, no manuals.

During the Experience

Learn what you
couldn't before

Every other tool in tour tech exists before or after the experience. Digital Guidebooks lives during it. The only moment when guests are fully engaged. The window no one else captures.

Guest Satisfaction Scores

Capture how guests feel while they are still living the experience, not weeks later by email.

Local vs. Visitor

Every email capture includes a self-reported tag. Two completely different marketing strategies from one data point.

Tip Click Rates

Know what percentage of guests click to tip their guide. Benchmark across experiences and optimize placement.

Review Click Rates

Track how many guests click through to leave a review and which platforms perform best for your tours.

"We depend pretty heavily on the guidebooks. All of our guides use them. We replaced printed materials entirely. It just works."

Everything you need to know

No app download required
Guidebooks work in any mobile browser. Guests tap a link or scan a QR code. No app store, no friction.
Every guide uses the same guidebook
Each guide gets their own unique code and login. When guests open the guidebook with a guide's link, it personalizes to show that guide's photo, bio, and tipping links.
All major review platforms supported
Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and GetYourGuide out of the box, plus you can add any custom review platform URL.
Updates go live instantly
Update a stop description, swap a photo, or add a new guide. Guests see the latest version immediately.
Email capture is built in
Every guest enters their email before accessing the guidebook. Emails are stored in your account, segmented by local vs. visitor, and tied to the specific experience and guide.
One guidebook per experience
If you offer a food tour and a history walk, that is two guidebooks. You do not need separate guidebooks for each guide.

Every guest who walks away without leaving their email is revenue you will never get back
