Questions about switching
Can we move our bookings over from Bókun?
Yes. Export your upcoming bookings from Bókun as a file and import them into Calisto Experiences. Each one becomes a Booking on its departure or session, with its customer types, extras and a Confirmation the guest can show at Check-In.
Which booking channels does Calisto Experiences connect to?
Experiences connects to GetYourGuide, Viator, Klook and PrioTicket as your reservation system, each opening once its certification is complete (with Sync), adds Google Things to Do booking links, and lets hotel desks and agents sell as Resellers on Net Rates or commission. One seat count covers your website, your desk and every channel.
Does it handle rentals as well as tours?
Yes. The Rentals side is included: rental products, kits and add-ons, rental periods from an hour to a month, Hand Out / Take Back at the counter, photo checks with damage priced and charged, card holds and deposits settled at the return, deliveries, Sub-Rentals and a fleet map.
