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 40+ payment gateways across 9 global regions. Keep your existing merchant rates. Your terms. Zero percentage taken from your bookings by your software provider.
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 expiration alerts, language capabilities, specialty skills, scheduling with conflict detection, 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.
- ✓Certification tracking with automatic expiration alerts
- ✓Scheduling with conflict detection and overtime rules
- ✓Per-tour commission and payroll integration
- ✓Guide portal with 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: day-by-day itinerary builder, accommodation logistics, transport coordination, meal planning, checkpoint management, and guest communication at each stage. Perfect for multi-day treks, diving packages, safari circuits, or island-hopping tours.
- ✓Day-by-day itinerary builder with logistics planning
- ✓Accommodation and transport coordination per day
- ✓Checkpoint management and guest progress tracking
- ✓Automated guest communications at each stage
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, sign waivers digitally, upload required documents, message their guide, view meeting points on a map, leave reviews, and rebook for their next trip.
- ✓Itinerary view with meeting points on map
- ✓Digital waiver signing before arrival
- ✓Direct messaging with assigned guide
- ✓Review submission and easy rebooking for next trip
2% of revenue. Everything included.

Because it makes us partners, not just a vendor. A fixed subscription means your software company gets paid whether you have a record month or an empty lobby. A revenue share means we are financially invested in building tools that actually grow your business. If you have a slow month or a seasonal closure, your bill scales down with you.
