The GuruWalk community has a PRO plan for gurus who truly want to dedicate themselves to their passion and welcome many travelers from different parts of the world.
The PRO plan is the professional leap taken by the best profiles on GuruWalk.
One of the most practical advantages is that, as a PRO, you will not have the usage limitations of the Hobby plan: you will be able to create more tours and more time slots (always in line with demand and the quality the platform requires) and you will not have the limit on attendees per tour.
The greatest advantage of the PRO plan is that, in addition to taking advantage of GuruWalk's good organic positioning, with the PRO label you also benefit from our powerful marketing campaigns. So, if there is a traveler outside GuruWalk looking for a free tour somewhere in the world, they will very likely end up booking through us. These campaigns only redirect to PRO tours.
In addition, by having the PRO label, you convey more trust to travelers, who tend to prefer verified tours, marked with this distinction.
PRO tours always occupy the main positions on the page, by language. For example, if in your destination there are 5 providers in Spanish and you are the only PRO, you will always be first. If there are several providers with the PRO distinction, the position of your tour will depend on several factors such as the quality of your tour, that you do not make no shows, that you have a low cancellation rate, that you run the tour even without reaching the minimum number of attendees, etc. For all this, up to 98% of bookings always go to PRO gurus.
In addition, you will have the support of your account manager to help you optimize your profile and improve strategically.
For matters relating to your day-to-day operations, you always have the Help Center at your disposal, which will allow you to resolve any question much more quickly.
The Hobby plan is free, but it has usage limits. The PRO plan removes those limits and is charged per attendee.
Specifically, the Hobby plan has the following restrictions:
The PRO plan works by means of an Advertising Balance, shown and managed in euros. It works like a prepaid balance account: if you consume, you spend; if you do not consume, you don't.
Charged per attendee. The Balance is consumed per attendee: when you run a tour, the amount corresponding to the people who attend is deducted from your Balance. So, if you run a tour and 10 people attend, the amount for those 10 people is deducted from your Balance; if the next day you do not run a tour, you do not consume Balance.
Dynamic price. The amount per attendee is dynamic: it varies depending on the destination, the language and demand, and is shown before its consumption.
Automatic top-up. To use the advertising services you must keep a valid card associated with your account and automatic top-ups active: when your Balance falls below a given threshold, it is topped up automatically. This way we prevent your account from running out of Balance and your advertising from being interrupted. You can also make manual top-ups whenever you want.
Do not consume Balance. Traveler cancellations, travelers who do not show up (no shows) and justified cancellations do not consume Balance. A no show is only considered when the traveler who booked did not attend the tour; those who do show up but do not finish the tour do count as attendees and therefore consume Balance.
Attendance confirmation. You have 48 h to confirm the attendance (or non-attendance) of the travelers on your tour. After this time, the appropriate adjustments are made to your Balance.
Non-refundable. The Balance topped up and not consumed is non-refundable: it is not returned in cash or by any other means.
Expiry. The Advertising Balance expires two (2) years after the last movement in your account (top-up or consumption). Before expiry, we will notify you with reasonable notice so that you can consume the available Balance.
Use within GuruWalk. The Balance may be consumed by different users within the same GuruWalk account, but it is not transferable between different accounts, nor redeemable for money, nor usable outside the platform.
