Tour Creation Best Practices

​

Write Compelling Descriptions

• Start with the most exciting aspect
• Use sensory language (sights, sounds, tastes)
• Tell a story rather than listing facts
• Address tourist concerns (safety, difficulty, accessibility)

​

Price Competitively

Consider these factors:

• Your experience level and credentials
• Duration and inclusions
• Market rates for similar tours
• Your costs (transportation, entry fees, food)
• Value you provide beyond the basics

​

Be Specific About Logistics

• Exact meeting points with landmarks
• What to bring or wear
• Physical difficulty level
• Weather contingency plans

​

Highlight What Makes You Unique

• Special access or insider knowledge
• Unique perspective or expertise
• Personal connections to the area
• Skills that enhance the experience

​

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Vague descriptions - Be specific about what tourists will experience
• Unrealistic timing - Allow buffer time; don’t rush the experience
• Missing important details - Include meeting points, what to bring, accessibility info
• Poor pricing - Too high scares away bookings; too low devalues your expertise
• Incomplete information - Fill out all fields for better search visibility
