i have a customer with a Tours & Transfers company, i'm developing his website and i'm looking for a good plugin to booking tours and transfers.
I've tried Amelia, but i'm not sure if Amelia can do the job. Tours are available just 2 times per day, tours are available for 8 person per tour, flexible prices, etc...
As far as I know, some of our customers use Amelia for a similar business, but it depends on your particular requirements, of course.
First of all, there are two types of bookings in Amelia: Appointments and Events.
Appointments are being defined by the Service's duration, while an event has a predefined time and date set up.
For example, if you configure your service so it lasts 1 hour, and assign an employee who works Mon - Fri from 09:00 - 17:00, that service's appointments will be available for booking on every hour, so:
09:00 - 10:00
10:00 - 11:00
And so on.
When you're configuring events, you're setting the time and the date when the event will take place.
Multiple employees can host the event, but only one employee can be assigned to a service at a time.
Also, the service is offered all the time (Mon - Fri at the same time, unless you configure your employee's working hours so he works only on specific days at specific times), while an event is held only on particular dates.
One more thing: Google Calendar integration works only with Services at the moment (in case you plan to use it).
And regarding our demo site: we used Events and Service as well, so you can see how both options can be applied.
Please note that it is possible to set only one price for each Appointment or Event. However, appointments can have Extras that some of our users use for kids' tickets (so, the original Service price is being used as the price for adults, and the price for Extras - as the price for children).
