About GuideKeep

Ten years in the field. Then a tool thatfits the job.

GuideKeep was born from years of managing tours, guides and the chaos in between. We built a platform around the way tour operations actually work — not the way software assumes they do.

THE STORY

There was no tool built for the rhythm of an operator's day.

So I built one. After a decade in the tourism world I kept hitting the same walls: manual scheduling, payroll headaches, and no software shaped around how a tour day actually runs. Nobody was solving it, so I thought — why not build it?

I poured what I had learned into GuideKeep. After years of tinkering there is finally a system other operators can run on: leaner weeks, lower costs, and time back for the part of the job they liked in the first place.

MANIFESTO

Why GuideKeep is different

1

Field-tested UX

Our features aren't born in boardrooms. They're forged in the chaos of last-minute cancellations and changing weather. We prioritise what actually saves time on the ground.

2

Ethically bootstrapped

With zero corporate funding, our loyalty isn't to venture capitalists or exit strategies. Our only shareholders are the guides and operators who use the platform every day.

3

Operator-first pricing

We know the margins in tourism. Pricing is transparent and scales with volume, so as you grow your software costs don't eat your profit.

OUR APPROACH

Technology with
a soul

  1. 1

    Ten years in the trenches of real touring taught me that operations aren't only logistics — they're human connection. Early starts, last-minute changes and the constant juggle of guides and guests are part of the job.

  2. 2

    The right tools should make that easier, not harder. Every feature here is built around what actually saves an operator time on the ground, so you spend more energy on your guests and less on your spreadsheets.

“Having never used Apps in this manner before, I am pleasantly surprised how easy and proficient Guide Keep is to use. From scheduling to clocking in/out and all the way to submitting hours/getting paid, Guide Keep is simple to navigate and makes the process run smoothly. – Joe Pointer”
