Built for walking tours operators

Walking tours that don't need a ticket-scanning kiosk or a tour-tech consultant.

Meeting-point logistics, guide capacity, multi-language runs, and gate check-in that works on a plaza. TripStub is the phone-first stack behind the walking-tour business.

We've been there

What walking tours operators keep telling us.

The three Monday-morning headaches we optimize away. If you run a walking tours business, you've probably had all three this quarter.

Meeting-point confusion bleeds

Guests lost at the wrong fountain is half your refund tickets. TripStub sends confirmation with a map pin, a photo of the meeting point, and a 30-minute reminder ping.

Guide rosters change weekly

Assign guides to slots, track hours for payroll, handle call-outs with a tap. TripStub's crew module is built for ops teams, not HR software.

Check-in must work on a plaza

No ticket desk, no Wi-Fi, a loud square. TripStub scans offline, shows large confirmation numbers, works with a gloved finger.

"Meeting-point confusion is half the refund tickets. Multi-language runs need parallel schedules. Check-in on a loud plaza has to work with a gloved finger. That's the walking-tour brief."

What you'll actually use

The walking tours operator's toolbox.

Every feature below is in the free plan. No 'enterprise tier' that gates the capability you need once you start growing.

Meeting-point cards

Address + map pin + photo + written directions + accessibility notes. Sent at booking and 30 minutes before start.

Per-tour multi-language support

One product, three language variants. Each with its own guide, capacity, and schedule — cross-sold automatically.

Guide roster + per-slot assignment

Your schedule shows which guide is leading which slot. Guides see only their assignments. Hours tracked for payroll export.

Offline gate check-in

Works without cell signal on a crowded square. Queues admissions and syncs when coverage returns.

Group-size limits that hold on every channel

Max 15 per tour stays at 15 even when Viator, Klook, and your own site are all selling concurrently. No overbooking without explicit authorization.

Tip collection at the end

Stripe Tap-to-Pay on an iPhone after the tour: a guide collects tips into a pool or to themselves. Tracked, reported.

The math

What walking tours operators save.

Run the numbers on your actual volume. Most operators we talk to save $8k–$35k/year just by skipping the per-booking fee.

Here's the honest math for a small operator running 100 bookings / month at $80 avg.
