Major New Features for Guides - Sommer Edition
Everything you need to know about the tools we have built to help you grow your guiding business.
It has been a busy summer behind the scenes at Keyguides Connect. We’ve released a set of powerful new features to help you manage your tours, handle bookings more smoothly, and stay in control of how you run your business.
Whether you’re new to the platform or already booking tours, here are the big updates you need to know:
🛍️ 1. Tour Builder: Create and Publish Your Own Experiences
Want to turn your knowledge and passion into bookable experiences? Now you can! With the new Tour Builder, you can:
Create your own tours from scratch
Add pricing details in our newly launched price structure
Every guide has one tour included in their free account
Publish when you're ready – or keep as draft while you perfect it
This tool is made for guides who want to offer unique, memorable experiences on their own terms.

📅 2. Invoicing Made Easy (For Partner Bookings)
If you take jobs through a partner (from applying to a post on the job board), invoicing just got a whole lot easier.
Now, once a tour is completed:
With the press of a button an invoice is generated with all the correct details
You can download it with one click to save for your records
Send it directly to the partner without the need to search for all their billing information
No more emailing back and forth to find the correct billing information, no errors in amounts or due dates. It’s fast, clean, and saves you time.

❄️ 3. Set Your Own Cancellation Policy
We know flexibility matters – but so does protecting your time. Now you can choose between four clear cancellation policies:
Flexible: Full refund until 24 hours before the tour
Standard: 50% refund until 48 hours before
Strict: 100% refund 14+ days before
Non-refundable: No refunds, ever
Your cancellation policy is shown clearly on your profile and tours, so guests know what to expect – and you get peace of mind.
