Rules for organizers

We're perfectly good at reselling other people's excursions ourselves, which is basically what this site does. What we need are people who actually take travelers out: their own vehicles, their own guide, their own responsibility for making sure the bus turns up.

So the tour photos must include a photo of your vehicle (bus, minivan, jeep or boat) with the agency name, registration number or another identifying mark clearly visible. This is how we tell an organizer from a middleman. No vehicle photo means we don't publish the tour.

The traveler came to you through us. We invested in the site, advertising and support so that they could find you.

So please don't hand out business cards on the bus, give out your phone number, show your Instagram or suggest "next time call us directly, it'll be cheaper". We will find out, because travelers talk and we read every review.

The first time, we'll have a talk. The second time, we part ways.

A phone number, a link to your website, "find us on Telegram" or an office address in the description will all be removed, and the tour will be sent back for revision. If you really want travelers to find you, just do a good job. They'll leave a review, and people will find you through us.

If you accepted a booking and gave a pickup time, the vehicle must be there at that time.

Being more than 15 minutes late already ruins the morning of someone who got up at five to wait for you. It happens to everyone once in a while, and we understand: traffic, breakdowns, force majeure. But if being late becomes a habit, the excursion goes to another organizer and you leave the system.

We don't accept rudeness, "sort it out yourselves", a promised guide who never shows up, stops that weren't in the description (especially shopping stops) or a lunch you'd be embarrassed to photograph.

The rule is simple: the tour must include exactly what you wrote in the description. If you wrote "lunch at a restaurant with a view", there should be a restaurant and a view, not a plastic table by the road.

Not at all. After the excursion, every traveler receives a link and writes what they think. They praise, they criticize, they attach photos. We don't delete bad reviews, we don't ask for them to be changed and we don't write good ones ourselves.

This works both ways. Good reviews will bring you bookings without any advertising, and bad ones will tell the whole truth about you. If the negative consistently outweighs the positive, it means you're not coping, and we'll go our separate ways.

The descriptions, photos and tour itineraries you upload become part of the site from the moment they are published. We may edit them, use them in advertising, show them in search and pass them on to another organizer if you stop working or we part ways.

This isn't greed, it's necessity. A tour page builds up its search rankings over months, and it can't just disappear because one organizer left. The Pamukkale excursion hasn't stopped existing; someone else is simply running it now.

We don't issue warnings in triplicate. It usually goes like this:

• For minor issues, we'll message you on WhatsApp and you fix it
• For serious issues, we'll unpublish the tour until things are cleared up
• For repeated or gross violations, we deactivate the account and hand the excursions over to another organizer

Once an account is deactivated, the matter is closed. We're a small team and we don't get into correspondence about why handing out business cards wasn't allowed.

We don't set a fixed commission and we don't dictate how much you earn. You set two prices yourself: what the traveler pays and what you receive. The difference is our fee. It's all fair and visible to both sides.

In return, we ask just one thing: the price on our site must not be higher than your own price elsewhere. Not on your own website, not at your office and not on marketplaces like Sputnik8 and similar.

We do keep an eye on this, and we'll tell you exactly how. For every excursion, we track similar tours on major platforms and with local operators, and our bots compare prices twice a day. If a lower price turns up, we get an alert and you get a message from us asking you to adjust.

The reason is simple and, we hope, understandable. We don't want a traveler who bought a tour from us for 30 dollars to ride on the same bus as someone who paid 20 for the same thing elsewhere. They'll find out, because in four hours on the road people talk about everything. And they won't blame you, they'll blame the site they booked through.

The first time, we'll just ask you to fix it. If it happens again, the tour page goes to another organizer.

First, the main point: the site only lists tours you're willing to accept without prepayment. Travelers book for free and pay the guide or driver at pickup, in cash, on the spot, as agreed.

Yes, this means some people won't show up. They overslept, changed their mind, mixed up the day or got out of bed on the wrong side. We're being honest with you: as a website, we're not responsible for attendance. We pass on all the details the traveler left, send them reminders and the ticket, but we can't drag someone out of their hotel at five in the morning.

Settlements are simple. We calculate our share from every completed tour, which is the difference between your price and the price on the site. Once it reaches 100 dollars, we'll get in touch and ask you to transfer it.

You choose whichever way suits you best:

• transfer to a Turkish bank account
• SBP, in rubles
• cryptocurrency

No invoices for three dollars and no weekly reminders. It adds up, we settle, we carry on working.

If a traveler doesn't show up, mark it in your account with the "No-show" button. That booking isn't counted and we don't take a commission on it. Please mark no-shows honestly and on the same day: if one organizer suddenly has suspiciously many, we'll notice and ask.

All this may look strict, but really there's only one rule: do your job well, and we'll never have to meet in this document. A good organizer won't even remember these rules. They just take people on tours and collect five-star ratings and bookings.
