How to Create Tours
Tours allow you to create a schedule of tour times throughout a given day when customers can visit your attraction. There are two methods to create tours:
Individual Tours
Bulk Tours
In your Ventrata dashboard, go to Products > Products.
Select an existing product.
Go to the Tours tab.
Press the + NEW TOUR button.
Enter tour start time.
Enter a unique name or identifier for the tour.
This can be, for example, a flight number.
Press the + ADD DATE RANGE button to enter a start and end date for the tour.
If you leave the fields empty, the tour is always available.
Select a route for the tour as appropriate.
Create routes for this destination.
Tick the 'Pickup Available' checkbox to allow the selection of a pickup point during booking.
Create pickups for this destination.
Select a pickup which is preselected for the customer during booking.
If the tour offers dropoffs, tick the 'Dropoff Available' checkbox.

Select which sources can offer the tour.

Make sure to account enough time for change of staff, cleanup and other logistical challenges as appropriate.
