Answer questions about meeting points, duration, fitness, pricing and what's included
Common questions can be drafted from the tour information. Anything about a particular guest, an accessibility need or a last-minute change goes to the guide.

Keep first-aid, insurance, site-access and safety-check records complete
Tasks, by type of work.
Each task has an experience tag (CX, SX or BX), a verdict, and example agents that often help with this kind of work. Agent suggestions come from our editorial scores, not vendor claims.
Inbox
Update guests if a meeting point, a site or a start time has to change
An agent can draft a status note from the diary. The guide checks the wording and that everyone who booked actually gets the change.
Bookings & calendar
Take bookings, send meeting-point reminders and reshuffle when a tour is full or the weather turns
Online booking, meeting-point reminders and a simple way to reshuffle a full or weather-affected tour can run without the guide answering the phone mid-tour.
Example agents: Retell AI, Vapi, ElevenLabs
Phone & voice
Handle a guest who is late, unwell, unhappy, or who needs the tour changed for safety
This needs judgement and care in the moment, and should come from the guide who is with the group.
Spreadsheets & data
Keep attendance, special-requirement and incident notes against each tour
Approved notes can be filed automatically, which helps when a later question or an incident review needs an accurate record.
Keep first-aid, insurance, site-access and safety-check records complete
Digital checklists can flag a missing field before a tour leaves, which matters when you are responsible for a group in a public place.
Example agents: n8n
Documents
Plan the route, the timing and the talking points for this tour and this group
An agent can draft a run sheet from a standard itinerary and the day's bookings. The guide decides what this group can actually manage, and what to cut if the weather or a delay changes the day.
Example agents: Grok Bot, Claude, Microsoft Copilot
Write a short pre-tour note on what to bring, where to meet and any access or weather advice
An agent can draft this from the standard tour sheet. The guide checks that it is accurate for this date, this route and this group's needs.
Invoice the tour or send a payment link from the confirmed booking
Invoices can be generated from the confirmed booking and any extras, so billing is not rebuilt from a paper list after the last tour of the day.
Content
Share photos from a tour, with guests' permission
An agent can draft a caption and schedule a post. The guide chooses the photos, checks consent and is careful with children and identifiable guests.
Customer chat
Lead the group, tell the story of the place and look after guests on the route
Holding a group's attention, reading the room and keeping people safe and on time is the job. This stays human.
Time freed, and where it goes.
