The Global Standard for Tour & Experience Operations.

Most tour operators run a booking platform (Peek Pro, FareHarbor), a reservation system, a guide scheduling app, a traveler messaging tool, a photo delivery service, a review aggregator, an email marketing platform, accounting software, paid media tools, a safety log, a permit tracker, and an agent commission spreadsheet. Twelve vendors, twelve invoices, zero integration. Calisto consolidates all of these: Tickets handles bookings and departures, Dispatch handles guide assignment and pickup coordination, Signal handles GPS tracking and emergency alerts, Assure handles safety drills and certifications, Sync handles OTA distribution, Reputation handles reviews, and Ledger handles multi-currency revenue and commissions. One login, one subscription, one source of truth.

Yes. Calisto syncs inventory in real-time across your website, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Bokun, TripAdvisor Experiences, and regional marketplaces. One booking on any channel instantly updates availability everywhere. Priority direct inventory controls let you protect spots for your own booking engine where margins are highest.

Calisto includes GPS tracking for active tours, emergency alert broadcasting, medical incident reporting, safety drill logging, permit management, insurance tracking, guide certification management with renewal alerts, and liability waiver collection with e-signature proof and PDF archival. Guides with expired certifications are auto-blocked from assignment. Regional safety regulation compliance is configurable by jurisdiction.

Yes. Calisto supports a bring-your-own-backend architecture. Deploy on your own database and object storage, in your own jurisdiction. EU operators facing GDPR can keep traveler data in Frankfurt. Operators handling photo and video rights can control exactly where that media lives. Most tour platforms (Peek Pro, FareHarbor, Rezdy) force their cloud. Calisto gives you the choice.

Tours are inherently cross-border. Your travelers book from any country and pay in their currency. Calisto was built for this from day one: multi-currency payments so travelers pay in local currency, multi-language booking and tour delivery, 56 regional payment gateways covering 30+ countries, and regional OTA channels (Viator US/EU, Klook Asia, GetYourGuide global). The data model, billing layer, and locale handling were built for global operations from the start.

Yes. A solo guide running weekend walking tours uses the same platform as a multi-country adventure operator with 200 departures per week. You do not outgrow Calisto. Solo guides start with Tickets (bookings), Dispatch (guide scheduling), and Sites (booking website). Professional operators add Navigator (traveler portal), Ledger (multi-currency accounting), and Sync (OTA channels). Enterprise operators add Assure (safety compliance), Signal (GPS tracking), and custom API integrations. Same platform, same login, same data.

Guides access their schedule, tour details, traveler manifests, and payment history through the Navigator portal or the Apps mobile app. They set availability, view upcoming departures, receive pickup coordination details, and communicate with the operations team. Certification status and training completions are visible on their profile.

POS handles walk-up bookings in seconds. A self-service kiosk with a touch-optimized interface (48px buttons for outdoor use) lets travelers browse available tours, book, pay, and check in without staff assistance. Walk-up travelers can sign waivers on the kiosk before departure.

When a traveler starts a booking but does not complete it, Calisto captures their progress and follows up with timed recovery emails at 1-hour, 24-hour, and 72-hour intervals. One-click resume links let travelers pick up where they left off. Separately, travelers can purchase optional cancellation protection at checkout. If they cancel, the protection covers the refund and you keep your revenue. Both systems include full revenue attribution reporting.

Yes. Start for free with full access to all 50 products across all three suites. No credit card required, no time limit, and no feature restrictions. You only pay the 2% revenue share once you begin processing transactions.

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A fixed subscription gets paid the same in a record month and in an empty low season. A revenue share means we are financially invested in building tools that actually grow your bookings. If you have a slow month or a seasonal closure, your bill scales down with you.

Calisto was designed by someone who has actually run operations. The backup guide assignment exists because that person dealt with a guide calling in sick at 6am on a sold-out departure. The rain-triggered indoor alternative exists because they stood in the rain deciding whether to cancel or reroute. The agent double-booking detection exists because a partner kept overselling Saturday morning slots. Every workflow reflects a real operational scenario.
