AI chat for tour operators
Answer every guest question instantly — even when you’re out on tour.
QnAsheet is an AI assistant that handles the questions flooding your website and social messages, 24 hours a day. It knows your tours, can quote your live availability, and replies in your customer’s own language — while you get on with running the tour.

You answered these half a dozen times yesterday.
Every enquiry that waits is a booking that might not happen. And peak season is exactly when nobody has a spare minute to reply.
What time does the morning tour leave?
Asked at 11:40pm, from three time zones awayDo you have anything free on Saturday?

A fair question — in a language nobody in the office speaks
Why a spreadsheet
Gemini does the thinking. You drive it from a spreadsheet.
We built the controls into a Google Sheet for one reason: everyone already knows how to use a spreadsheet. No new dashboard, no training course, no software to install.
What you do not do is type out every possible question and answer. QnAsheet writes those itself — from your website, your documents and a short description of your business — including the questions you’d never have thought to prepare for.
Let it answer freely
For the endless long tail of questions — parking, seasickness, what to wear in October, whether Grandma will manage the steps.
- Learns from your website, PDFs, price lists and itineraries
- Holds a real conversation and remembers what was said
- Handles questions you never anticipated
Or say it word for word
For the answers that must never drift — refund policy, pick-up point, safety rules, the wording your insurer signed off on.
- Write the exact wording in your sheet — that’s what the guest gets
- Same certainty in every language you sell in
- Change it in the sheet, it’s live in minutes
Most AI chat makes you pick one or the other.
QnAsheet lets you decide question by question — from the same sheet.
Your chat can see your calendar.
Most chatbots hit a wall at “please check our booking page”. QnAsheet doesn’t. Ask what’s on this weekend and it looks at your live availability, then answers with real dates, times and seats remaining.
That’s the difference between a curious browser and a booking — answered in the moment they asked, not the morning after.
A team member who never sleeps, never forgets, and speaks over 100 languages.
Open when you’re not
Overseas guests book at 2am your time. Your chat is awake, informed and friendly at every hour of every day — including the whole of peak season.
Sells in their language
Over 100 languages, handled automatically. A guest asks in Spanish, they get a proper answer in Spanish — with no extra work and no extra cost.
Knows your business — and sounds like it
Point it at your website and upload the rest — itineraries, price lists, terms, meeting-point notes — as PDFs, web pages, text files, CSVs or Markdown. Then set its persona: the tone it uses, how it should answer, and anything else that matters about the way you talk to guests.
You stay in control
See every question your customers ask — the best market research you’ll ever get. Lock down any answer you want said a particular way, and pause the AI with one click when you’d rather reply yourself.
Wherever guests message you
Your website chat out of the box, and Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp too — those run through Manychat, which needs a Pro plan of its own. One assistant, answering consistently across all of them.
Can plug into your systems
Want every question and answer flowing into your own CRM, database or back office? We build that as a custom integration — scoped and quoted before anything starts, never a flat “not possible”.
Operators who stopped answering the same question.
Both of these chat windows are live right now — open one and ask it something.
“QnAsheet is a game-changing AI chatbot for my agency’s tourism clients. It is incredibly powerful, is able to generate very accurate and complex answers to an unending variety of questions, all with the right brand voice for each client.
Vic’s configuration of my client’s chatbot and training for my team was clear, easy, and fully dialed in. Vic is super responsive to any questions and goes above and beyond to make sure we are using the full power of the AI chatbot. And the value is exceptional, with pricing well below competitors while delivering full functionality.”
North Carolina, USA
“Vic approached me with an idea to do something different to attract new customers and build my tour boat business. He re-designed my website and my brochure so it was more appealing and spelled out clearly what our tours were about. It has definitely brought in new customers.
But the Facebook Messenger Chatbot and Chatbot on my website using QnAsheet has opened up whole new marketing capabilities and taken my business to another level. I’ve never been busier!”

No tokens. No credits. Just questions and answers.
A customer asks something, they get an answer. That’s one Q&A. It’s the only unit you need to think about.
Most operators start on Medium. Unused questions roll over, so choose for an average month rather than your busiest one.
On Rezdy, FareHarbor or The Flybook? That’s Pro. Taking bookings another way? Standard does the rest.

Your questions roll over
Quiet winter? Your unused questions bank up. Flat out in January? Draw on what you banked. You’re never paying for capacity you didn’t use, or running out in the month you can least afford to.
Questions never expire while you’re subscribed.
If you ever do run short, top up with another 100 for $20 USD. It’s a one-off, not a subscription, and those don’t expire either.
Trying it is free. Going live is properly tuned.
The trial costs you nothing. We get on a call, install the chat, load your website and documents and let you watch it answer questions about your own tours.
If you like what you see, going live includes a one-off setup — from $700 USD for a straightforward operation. More if you run a range of different tours, have a more complex operation to explain, or want Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp answering too. We’ll give you an estimate once we’ve talked through how your business works — long before you commit to anything. It’s the tuning that separates a chatbot people give up on from one that actually answers well.
Why we don’t charge in “tokens”. Most AI tools bill you in units nobody can picture, so you never quite know what a month will cost. A question asked and an answer given is something you can count — so that’s what we count.

The things operators ask us first.
Do I have to type every question and answer into a Google Sheet?
No — and this is the single biggest misunderstanding about QnAsheet. The name is misleading in a way we’re rather fond of.
QnAsheet is fully generative. Point it at your website, add a short description of your business, upload a few documents, and it will answer intelligently about your tours without you writing a single question and answer.
The sheet is there for when you want control — the handful of answers that must come out exactly as you’ve worded them.
How does it learn about my business?
Three ways, and you can use all of them. It reads your website pages. It reads documents you upload — PDFs, web pages, text files, CSVs and Markdown — so itineraries, price lists, terms and safety notes all count. And it reads whatever background you type into your sheet.
Got something in Word or Excel? Save it as a PDF or a CSV and it’s ready to go. We’ll sort that out with you during setup anyway.
You also tell it how to answer, not just what: its persona, the tone it should use, how much detail to give, what to emphasise and what to steer clear of. That’s what makes it sound like your business rather than a generic bot.
Everything you add becomes part of what it knows, so answers get sharper the more you feed it.
Can it really tell customers what’s available right now?
Yes, on the Pro plan. QnAsheet connects to Rezdy, FareHarbor and The Flybook, so a question like “when is your next tour?” gets a real answer with dates, times and seats remaining.
For accommodation we connect to Beds24, and for online stores, WooCommerce. If you use something else, tell us — we add integrations based on what operators actually ask for.
What if an answer has to be exactly right, every single time?
Write it in your sheet and that exact wording is what your customer receives — no paraphrasing, no improvising. Refund policies, medical restrictions, pick-up instructions, insurance wording: all safely pinned down.
You can do this for one answer or a hundred. Everything else keeps generating freely.
Does it work in other languages?
Over 100 of them, automatically. If someone asks in German, they get a proper answer in German — even if everything you’ve given QnAsheet is in English.
Want a specific answer phrased just so in French or Japanese? Add a column to your sheet and it will use your wording instead of translating.
Where does the chat actually appear?
As a chat window on your website — that part is included. It can also answer in your Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp inboxes, giving you one assistant with the same answers wherever guests message you.
Those social channels run through Manychat, and they need its Pro plan — a subscription you’d hold yourself. Worth saying up front so it isn’t a surprise. Tell us if you want them and we’ll walk through it on the call.
Do I need anything else on my website?
Just a chat window for QnAsheet to answer through — and we install one for you. The chat widget has a free plan, and that’s all QnAsheet needs, so there’s nothing extra you’re required to buy.
Already have chat on your site? Tell us which one and we’ll let you know whether we can work with it.
What if I want to take over a conversation myself?
Jump in whenever you like. One click pauses QnAsheet for five minutes, an hour or a day, so it won’t talk over you while you’re helping someone.
And anything you say becomes part of the conversation. Offer a guest a discount code and QnAsheet remembers it — if they come back and ask about it later, it knows. You’re not handing over to a separate system that has forgotten what you said.
What counts as a “question and answer”?
Exactly what it sounds like: a customer asks something, QnAsheet answers. That’s one.
Both plans come in three sizes: 250 a month (around 60–80 conversations), 500 (125–165) or 1,500 (375–500). Anything you don’t use rolls over. Nothing expires while you’re subscribed, so a quiet winter pays for a busy summer — which means you can pick for an average month rather than your busiest.
If you ever do run short, you can top up with another 100 for $20 USD — a one-off purchase, not a recurring charge, and those don’t expire either. We deliberately don’t bill in tokens — nobody can budget in a unit they can’t picture.
How much work is this for me to set up?
Very little on your side. We install and configure it for you — including your booking system connection — and we train your team on the sheet, which takes most people about half an hour to get comfortable with.
What we need from you is an hour or so of conversation about how your business actually works: the questions you get asked, the answers that have to be exact, the things that trip customers up. That conversation is what makes the difference, and nobody can have it for you.
What does it cost to get set up?
The trial is free. We do the call, the install and the initial content load at no charge, so you can see it working on your own tours before you spend anything.
Going live is where the real tuning happens, and it’s a one-off charge paid up front. A straightforward operation with a couple of tours starts at $700 USD. A range of different tours, a more complex operation to explain, seasonal variations, or Messenger and Instagram to connect all add to it — not because we’re charging by the tour, but because each one is more to understand and more to get right.
We can’t put an exact number on it from a web page, and we won’t pretend otherwise — it takes a conversation about how your business actually works. You’ll have an estimate after that first call, and the trial stays free either way.
We’re upfront about this because it’s the part that makes the difference. Anyone can drop a chatbot on a website. Getting it to answer your customers correctly, in your voice, is work — and it’s why our clients’ chats sound like their business rather than a robot.
Can it connect to my other systems?
Yes — though it’s development work rather than a switch you flick. Every question asked and every answer given can be passed to your own systems through our API: your CRM, your database, your reporting, your marketing list. We scope and quote it with you first.
Align Systems has been building custom software for over 30 years, so if you need something bespoke wired up, we can write it rather than telling you it isn’t possible.
Which AI is behind it?
Google’s latest Gemini 3.x models, plus a knowledge system we built ourselves so the AI answers from your material rather than guessing.
We keep the models current as Google releases them, so you don’t have to think about it.
What happens after the 14 days?
Nothing automatic. There’s no card on file, so nothing starts charging quietly in the background. If it’s earning its keep, tell us and we’ll set you up properly. If it isn’t, we switch it off and part on good terms.
Let’s see it answering your guests’ questions.
Tell us who you are and we’ll set up a working trial on your own website, with your own tours in it. No card, no obligation, nothing to install yourself.
- We install and configure it for you
- Trained on your real website and documents
- A real person from Align, not a ticket queue
- Backed by Align Systems — building software since 1993
