WHAT BOOKING WIDGETS LACK

Running tours takes more than a checkout page

A booking widget handles the transaction. But managing guides, building multi-day itineraries, tracking equipment, ensuring safety compliance, and marketing to past guests requires a platform that FareHarbor and Peek Pro were never built to be.

  • Guide Management: Not Just an Availability Toggle

    FareHarbor lets you mark guides as available or unavailable. Calisto provides full guide operations: certification tracking with automatic expiration alerts, language capabilities, specialty skills, scheduling with conflict detection and overtime rules, payroll integration, commission tracking per tour, performance analytics, and a guide-facing mobile portal where they see their upcoming tours, route details, and guest manifests.

  • Multi-Day Itineraries: Not a Single Time Slot

    FareHarbor and Peek are built for single-session activities: a 2-hour kayak tour, a zip-line session. Calisto handles multi-day adventures: a day-by-day itinerary builder, accommodation and transport coordination per day, meal planning, checkpoint management with guest progress tracking, and automated guest communication at each stage. Perfect for multi-day treks, diving packages, safari circuits, or island-hopping tours.

  • Customer Portal: More Than a Confirmation Email

    FareHarbor sends a confirmation email. Peek sends a confirmation email. That's where the customer experience ends. Calisto Navigator gives every guest a self-service portal: view their upcoming tours with itinerary details and meeting points on a map, sign waivers digitally before arrival, upload required documents, message their assigned guide, leave reviews, and rebook for their next trip.

Choose your processor. Not theirs.

FareHarbor takes 6% of every online booking through their mandatory payment processing. Peek Pro charges 3–6% per transaction. Calisto connects to 75 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Keep your existing merchant rates. Your terms. Zero percentage taken from your bookings by your software provider.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Will I lose my Viator and GetYourGuide listings?

No. Calisto connects natively to Viator, GetYourGuide, and Airbnb Experiences. Your OTA listings remain active with real-time availability sync.

Does Calisto include a booking widget for my website?

Yes. Calisto provides an embeddable booking widget with dynamic pricing, group discounts, add-ons, and waiver collection at checkout. You choose your own payment processor with your own rates.

Does Calisto include dynamic pricing for tours?

Yes. Calisto's 7-factor intelligent pricing engine is built in. It covers demand, weather, day-of-week, season, competition, lead time, and historical patterns. No add-on fee required.

How does Calisto handle safety compliance?

Calisto Assure handles safety checklists, equipment inspection logs, guide certification tracking with expiration alerts, incident reporting, and compliance documentation. Digital waivers are handled by Calisto Sign with legally binding e-signatures. All records are audit-ready.

How does pricing work?

Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 71 products with no feature restrictions. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
