Tiered pricing: a tour price for each party size
With tiered prices, each range of party sizes has a price of its own: 1 to 3 passengers pay one price, 4 to 6 a lower one. Tiers price private tours, group tours priced by booking size and add-ons.

Per person or per group
Per person
Each tier is a price per person. The party's size picks the tier, and everyone in it pays that price.
Per group
Each tier is one total for any party in its range, such as a vehicle for up to 4. Every tier needs a To.

A private tour with Per person tiers of 90.00 USD (1 to 3 passengers), 75.00 USD (4 to 6) and 65.00 USD (7 or more), on a minimum of 2 passengers:

Tiers and the minimum passengers
A private tour has a Minimum passengers: Default (your business's Min. pax charged for private tours) or Custom.
- With Smaller parties pay for the minimum, a smaller party pays the price of the minimum's tier, like the first row above. The tiers must then reach the minimum, or the tour can't be saved.
- Where the minimum changes a tier's total, the editor shows the tier's own total struck through beside the one charged.
- With Smaller parties cannot book, a smaller party can't book on your website or on OTAs. Your staff see a warning and can still save the booking.
The largest party
The last tier's To is the most passengers one private booking can hold, shown as Effective private capacity: Unlimited when a Per person tier has no end. A larger party can't book on your website or on OTAs; your staff see a warning and can still save the booking.
Children and other age groups
Passengers with an age group price or discount don't count toward the tiers. The tier is chosen by the passengers who pay the standard price, and the others pay their own price on top: two adults with two children pay the two-passenger price for the adults, plus the children's prices. See age groups.
