All-in-one platform for independent tour guides

Independent tour guides are drowning in admin chaos. They juggle bookings across Airbnb Experiences, GetYourGuide, and Viator while manually tracking payments, schedules, and customer info in spreadsheets. High platform fees eat 15-30% of every booking, with zero integration between systems. TourFlow gives guides one dashboard that syncs all booking channels, processes payments instantly through Stripe, and automates tedious tasks like confirmations and reminders. You charge $29-99/month plus 2-3% per transaction, significantly undercutting existing platform fees. The target market is independent guides earning $50K-200K annually who want to stop losing money to middlemen and hours to admin work. Growth comes through tour guide Facebook groups, Reddit communities like r/digitalnomad, and partnerships with payment processors already serving this market. Start with a simple booking widget that embeds on guide websites and syncs with Google Calendar. Add: • Stripe Connect for instant payouts • Automated email sequences for customer management • Calendar sync across multiple booking platforms Test with 10-20 guides in popular destinations like Prague, Lisbon, or Mexico City where independent operators thrive. The business expands by adding features guides desperately need: dynamic pricing based on demand, automated review collection, and multi-language support. TourFlow becomes the Shopify for experience providers, enabling anyone to launch and scale a tour business without platform dependency. At $99/month average with 4,000+ active guides, you're looking at $5M ARR serving a market that's ready for liberation from booking giants and administrative headaches.
