Software for multi-day coach tours
Could your next seven-day coach tour save €1,400 in guide fees?
Illustration: seven guide days at €200 per day, where a separate onboard guide is not needed. Deduct subscription, preparation and remaining staffing costs to find your net saving.
Give drivers your prepared stop instructions and passengers your tour commentary, with Driver Guide on a monthly subscription.
Help a qualified coach driver unfamiliar with your itinerary understand where the tour stops, why it stops and how long passengers should have there.
Driver Instructions
Give your driver the practical detail behind each stop
A prepared commentary tells passengers about a place. Driver Instructions gives your driver the arrangements for visiting it.
Record the intended stopping point, the purpose of the visit, the time allowed and the next step, so the itinerary is easier to prepare for and deliver consistently.
Driver instructions and notes are for your driver. Passenger commentary stays focused on the places your guests are visiting.

Use the operator-approved coach parking area. Allow 10 minutes for photographs. Confirm the meeting point and departure time with passengers before they leave the coach.
Fictional example to show the type of detail you can prepare. This is not parking advice for a real destination.
Before departure
Prepare the tour before departure
Build your route and commentary in Tour Studio. Add the practical instructions your driver needs at each stop.
The driver can see the tour's stops on the map, tap a stop to read its instructions and notes, and listen to its commentary before setting off.
Along the route
Deliver your commentary along the route
Driver Guide plays prepared commentary when the tour reaches its configured GPS stops. Driver Instructions supplies the accompanying operational information.
When safely stopped, the driver can long-press a stop on the running tour map to open its preview, read the instructions and check whether the stop is enabled or disabled.
Every departure
Keep your company knowledge in the tour
Capture the details that an experienced guide would otherwise need to explain again on every departure.
Review your instructions when parking arrangements, attraction access or your itinerary changes. Brief your driver and verify the route and stops for your coach.
The guide-fee example
What could a seven-day tour save?
If your tour can run without a separately paid onboard guide, the guide fees avoided could be substantial.
This illustration uses the €200 daily rate reported by Dingco. It is not a verified European market average or an upper limit on possible savings.
Guide accommodation and meals may create further savings where those costs are also avoided.
See current plans and trial terms| Illustrative cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| Daily guide fee | €200 |
| Charged guide days | 7 |
| Guide fees avoided | €1,400 |
This example assumes the full guide fee is avoided on all seven days. Actual savings depend on your arrangements. Deduct your Driver Guide subscription, tour preparation and any replacement staffing or services.
Subscription prices are shown in pounds on our pricing page. The guide-fee example is in euros; it does not subtract a subscription price or assume an exchange rate.
