Say it once. The whole group has it.
TourPulse puts the departure time, your announcements and everything else worth knowing on every guest's phone, and keeps the bag count on yours. Built for tour directors on multi-day tours.
Built by a working tour director. Early access: 30% off your first year, through December 31, 2026.
You already know the problem.
You give the departure time three times on the coach and once more off it, for the four who weren't listening. Announcements go out over the mic, on paper and by text, and someone still misses the one that mattered. Now everything your guests need is in their pocket, wherever they are.
Three things, done right.
Back-on-the-coach time
The time and the place, in type you can read across a parking lot, and a heads-up on every phone before it's time. Change it and every phone updates.
Daily roadmap
Tomorrow's plan, published the night before: bag pull, departure, the forecast where you're headed, and the day laid out. One post, every phone.
Bag scanner
Turn it on and every bag gets a QR tag. Scan the tags as the bags load and the count tallies itself.
Load the bags. The count keeps itself.
Point the phone, scan the tag, next bag. TourPulse keeps the tally while you keep your eyes on the curb. No clipboard, and no second count in the hotel driveway.
And the good part.
Guests add their photos to one album for the tour, so everyone goes home with the whole trip, not just the pictures they took.
Weather, wildlife, a group album, and get-togethers your guests set up themselves: drinks on the terrace at seven, and the new friends RSVP. Just a few of our optional included modules, chosen tour by tour.
