Your tour ends. Guests loved it.
Then... nothing happens.

No review left. No tip given. No photo shared. No merch sold.

Three days later you send a follow-up email. They've already forgotten how they felt. The moment is gone.

The moment a guest is happiest — right after the experience — is the moment most operators let them walk away with nothing. Nothing was in place to capture it.

The revenue you're leaving behind.

From guests who already loved your experience.
One QR code puts all of it in place.

One QR code puts four revenue streams in place.

At the end of every tour, show guests one QR code. They open WhatsApp. Everything else is automatic.

1

Show the QR code

Tour ends. You hold up a printed QR code or display it on a screen. Takes 2 seconds.

2

Guests scan & open WhatsApp

No app download. No sign-up. WhatsApp opens with your branded experience ready to go.

3

Revenue flows in

Reviews posted, tips sent, photos shared, merch ordered. You did nothing. It just works.

The right tools, already in place.

Each one works independently or together — all delivered through a single WhatsApp flow your guests already know how to use.

Reviews

More 5-star reviews. More bookings. Zero chasing.

Guests rate you right after the experience — when emotion is highest. We route 5-star reviews to Google and TripAdvisor automatically. Bad reviews go to you privately first. Optimized timing, smart funnels, no manual follow-up emails.

Operators see 3-5x more reviews in the first month

Branded Photos

Delivered instantly. Social sharing built in.

Photos from the tour are auto-embedded with your branding and delivered via WhatsApp. Guests share to Instagram with your brand visible. Every share is free marketing — word-of-mouth on autopilot.

Every social share = free referral marketing

Why operators choose inPlace over duct-taping 4 tools together

Purpose-built for tour and activity operators. Not generic SaaS repurposed from restaurants or hotels.

No dev costs

Custom tools normally cost $10-50k+. Get them without paying a developer.

Best practices baked in

Review timing, photo watermarking, social share optimization — done right, out of the box.

Zero setup or learning

No dashboards to learn, no staff training. Show a QR code. Done.

$299/mo for all four tools

Or $0 with a sponsor. No per-transaction platform fees. No hidden costs. Cancel anytime.

Capture guests at peak emotion

Right after the experience, not 3 days later via email when they've forgotten.

Looks premium

Branded, professional guest experience via one simple WhatsApp flow.

Time back

No manual follow-ups, no photo delivery headaches, no review request emails.

What this costs

Two ways to get started. Pay monthly and control everything. Or let a local travel partner sponsor your tools and pay nothing.

Check If You Qualify

Running 100+ tours/month? Talk to us about volume pricing.

Did you know? Competitor “free” plans cost operators $290-330/mo in hidden transaction fees at real volume. Our sponsored plan is the only plan in the market that's genuinely free to the operator.

What if a local travel partner covered the cost?

Have a local travel partner sponsor thousands of dollars worth of custom tools — so your company earns up to 40% more than it does today, without spending a cent.

Local travel companies — hotels, transport, experience operators — sponsor your tools in exchange for tasteful visibility within the guest flow. They get warm, high-intent tourist eyeballs. You get world-class tools at no cost.

Think of it as having a full dev team in place — with a local travel partner picking up the tab.

Sponsorship is optional. Prefer full independence? $299/mo gets you all four tools with the lowest processing fees in the market. Your tools, your terms.

“We went from 12 Google reviews per month to 47 — without changing anything about how we run tours.”

Walking Tour Operator

“Our guides are earning 3x more in tips since we added the QR code. Retention has never been better.”

Adventure Activity Operator

The timing insight

“The guest who just finished a 10/10 experience will leave a review, tip their guide, share a photo, and buy a t-shirt — but only if you ask in the next 5 minutes.”

Email them 3 days later? They've already moved on. We capture the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

$299/mo for all four tools (reviews, photos, tipping, merch) — including merch design and setup. Or $0/mo if you qualify for a sponsored plan. Individual tools available from $99/mo. No contracts, cancel anytime.
No. You show a QR code. That's the extent of your involvement. No dashboards, no integrations, no training.
Yes. It's completely modular. Reviews $99/mo, Photos $129/mo, Tipping $99/mo — or all four for $299/mo. You never pay for what you don't use.
Local travel partners sponsor your tools in exchange for recommended placement to your guests. You control what's shown. They get exposure to your audience. You get $299/mo worth of tools for free. Standard tip processing (4.9%, paid by the tipper) still applies — but that's the lowest rate in the industry.
Guides always keep 100% of the tip. A small processing fee is added on top for the tipper — 2.9% on the paid plan, 4.9% on the sponsored plan. Both are lower than any competitor. Cross-currency tips include a small FX fee (2-4%). Compare that to TripAdmit's 5.9% + 2.9% + 5-10% FX.
WhatsApp has 2 billion users worldwide and is the default messaging app in most tourism markets. We also offer SMS and web fallbacks.
We set everything up for you — including custom merch design. Typical setup is 48 hours. You receive a printed QR code and you're live.
