What It Is

Eguide is tour guide and travel booking management software built for tour guide organisations. Its positioning is fairly niche: it helps guide organisations centrally manage tours, bookings, guide scheduling, activities, payment status, and invoices. It is not a general-purpose CRM or project management tool, but a platform designed around city tours, sightseeing groups, event registrations, and multi-guide coordination.

Core Features

For tour project management, Eguide supports configuration of basic information, categories, meeting/end points, standard duration, minimum/maximum group size, as well as year-round bookable dates and specific time slots. Pricing can be set by guide, by group, by person, with seasonal pricing and optional add-ons. Its online publishing capabilities include booking pages for each tour, images, hero banners, multilingual copy, and complex scenarios where a single booking contains multiple groups, different languages, and different guides.

The guide portal is one of its key modules. Guides can view assigned and upcoming trips on mobile, accept or decline assignments, mark tours as completed or no show, view meeting points, participant numbers, co-guides, and contact details, and maintain their personal profile, bank account, social identity, and availability. Administrators can then assign guides and track status accordingly.

Pricing and Integrations

Pricing uses a tiered per-booking model: Starter is €2.5/booking, Medium is €2/booking, and Large is €1.2/booking. All tiers include unlimited guides, online booking, unlimited tours, and Helpdesk, with a free trial, no credit card required, and cancellation at any time. Website services and API access require a quote. For integrations, Eguide can link out to its booking pages, or connect to an official website via REST API. The text explicitly mentions compatibility with WordPress or other CMS platforms, and Eguide can also provide a custom website.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are its focused use case and complete workflow, making it especially suitable for guide organisations with multiple guides, multiple tours, distributor settlements, and frequent scheduling needs. Per-booking pricing is friendly to seasonal businesses, and the number of guides and tours is unlimited. The drawbacks are that public materials do not clarify payment channels, data security, permission levels, SLA, Chinese language support, or mobile app availability. API and website services also require separate quotes, so enterprise buyers should complete compliance and cost assessments before purchasing.

Access From China and Alternatives

Access from China is unknown, and it is not disclosed whether the service can be reached directly, supports domestic Chinese payments, or offers a Chinese interface. If you mainly serve Chinese tourists or operate within mainland China, you should verify access speed, cross-border payments, invoice compliance, and local customer support. International alternatives include FareHarbor, Rezdy, TrekkSoft, Checkfront, Peek Pro, and Bokun. In China, depending on business complexity, you could consider the Ctrip merchant backend, ticketing/event mini programs, or localized booking/low-code systems.
