Creating and editing tours in the TourTask tour editor
Every tour you sell is set up in the tour editor. Go to Tours → Manage, then click a tour to edit it, or Create tour to add one.
The tour list
Tours → Manage lists your tours by category, each with its prices for an example number of passengers.
- Public or Not public: whether customers can see and book the tour.
- A red Unavailable: the tour is sold neither as a private nor as a group tour.
- Example price: choose a number of passengers, and Show per person price or Show total price.
- Drag a tour by its handle to reorder it, or into another card to move it to that category.
The sections of the tour editor
The list on the left holds the tour's sections: click one to open it. A warning icon beside a section marks something missing, such as a name or a duration.
- Name and descriptions: the name and two descriptions, in each of your languages.
- Category: the category the tour is listed under.
- Images: the main image and the gallery.
- Itinerary: the stops, shown to customers as a timeline and a map.
- Timing, if your business sells open-hours tours: Fixed start times or Open hours.
- Age groups: who counts as an infant, a child, a youth or a senior on this tour.
- Variants: versions of the tour, each with its own prices.
- Group tour and Private tour: how each kind of tour is sold.
- Items and Add-ons: what is included and paid extras.
- Other settings: Public, and Shore excursion if you sell to cruise passengers.
- Resources: the equipment and staff the tour uses.
- Cancellation policy: your business's policy, or the tour's own.
- Pickup: where the tour picks its travellers up.
Private tour and group tour
A tour sells as a private tour, a group tour or both. Switch on Available as private tour or Available as group tour, and that kind gets four sections of its own:
| Section | What you set |
|---|---|
| Booking rules | The cut-off and confirmation, or the business default |
| Pricing | Its prices: see tour pricing |
| Schedule | Its duration, start times and the days it runs |
| Components | The guides and vehicles it needs |
Setting the schedule
Each kind of tour has its own Schedule: see Schedule and availability.
Saving your changes
Save saves every section at once, except four that save on their own: Booking rules and Pickup as soon as you change them, Resources and Cancellation policy with their own Save. When you changed a text that exists in your other languages too, TourTask then asks Translate your changes?: Translate my changes replaces those languages with a translation, Keep the other languages as they are leaves them.
Copying a tour
- 1
Open the tour's menu
Click the three dots at the top right of the tour, and choose Duplicate tour.
- 2
Name the copy
Name of the copy starts with “Copy of” and the original's name: change it if you like.
- 3
Choose what to copy
Untick what the copy should not have under What to copy, then click Duplicate tour.
Importing a section
To copy one section from elsewhere, such as a schedule or the items, click ⋮ at the top right of the section and choose Import. Pick a Variant template or Another tour, then Done: the section's data is replaced at once, and nothing stays linked. Save your changes first: Import waits until there are none.
Writing the texts with AI
On a new tour, Name and descriptions opens with Generate with AI (or Skip). Paste what you have, such as notes or an old description, and click Generate: the AI writes the name and both descriptions, and suggests the duration and the items your text mentions. Check them, tick the languages to translate into, and click Accept. Each use counts toward your business's monthly AI allowance.
Questions we get asked
A start time that a private booking is on stays when you save, and can still be booked: see Schedule and availability.
Choose Remove tour in the menu at the top right of the tour.
Yes. On the Create tour page, choose Start from an existing tour: it copies a tour the same way Duplicate tour does.
