This allows us to decide which solution is best for our company. They have great people working for them who really take the time to listen and explain and never seem to tire of our many questions.

Itineraries and vouchers are created while you are costing an itinerary. Group costing (saves you a lot of time).

Excellent Software for small to mid size tour companies.

Hard to set up, but extremely customizable. Saves time, prevents mistakes.

After a pretty steep learning curve for setting up our 100 or so vendors with what seems like countless options, all is going really well.

The implementation was wonderful. Alison is the most professional, courteous and thorough implementer and Account Manager ever.

The software if fantastic, versatile and very easy to use. I have to say the production of itineraries, reports, quotes, and pricing documents are very professional looking and efficiently produced.

Amazing software that makes you saving times and customizing trips.

With Tourwriter you will be able to present you tour products in a nice and professional way which your customers will love. Tourwriter has a great customer service.

Don't make the same mistake we did and cut your loses before you even start.

The ease of use, the cooperation during implementation, their ability to recreate my wishes to a perfect itinerary that works with the industry quirks specific to my market.

Great and attentive Customer Service. The webinars and videos for explaining features are helpful.

Overall, there are very few things we dislike/like the least about the software. Our biggest problem was the delay of the markup to gross feature.

I have been frustrated with Tourwriter from the moment I transferred the initial payment.

The problem stems from an itinerary template we signed up for as one of their standard available simply did not work.

We dont use the accounting function, but everything else works brilliantly and customer service is excellent.

Is easy to use due our company needs to have very good explain our products.

I cant believe i'm still trying to deal with them but once you've invested as much time and personal hours as we have its hard to go back.

The product knowledge of the implementation team is terrible. It has taken us over 12 months to try and get the implementation complete and we were always timely in getting our tasks completed.

This is fantastic software for travel companies. I just love few features which not only saves time but are very handy in day to day operations.

TourWriter is a wonderful software for travel agencies. It has changed the way we do our job helping us saving time and being more efficient.

Support at Tourwriter has always been fast and productive, helping to adjust it it suit our changing needs which is essential in business. Great system, great staff.

There are numerous things we like about the software, but some of the major items. Ease of itinerary building.

This has been a huge help to our business. It saves time and money and ensures we can provide our clients with quick, thorough itineraries and travel quotes.

Drag and drop itinerary creation, publishing proposal documents, booking supplier services, generating financial documents, its all automated.

The strength of this company is the fantastic support it provides for its clients. This is both at the set-up stage, and also after implementation has started.

Xola has eased our registrations considerably; we still have problems discounting events but that might be user error.

First thing I like is the willingness to listen to the customers for new changes and ideas. That makes both of us better.

Their program integrates seemlesly with our website, making it easier for customers to complete their bookings. The customer support is great, they are very responsive and helpful.

The onsite booking is aesthetic and easy for our customers, and the back end is incredibly user friendly for my staff to use, and chock-full of useful resources.

Sadly, business is still in its beginning stage so there is not a lot of interaction iv'e had with this software.

Canʻt say enough good things about our experience with Xola. We have been with them almost from the beginning and they have grown and adapted to meet our needs perfectly.

Unable to quickly block of certain tours at specific times.

Tech support is great and helpful. Setting up is easy and the training videos are great.

My overall experience with Xola has been great. Also the customer support is awesome.

We like the simplicity and ease of use of xola.

We have been using this software for 4 years and love it. We are continually contacted by other systems, but this is by far our favorite.

Xola is great for tour and activity management.

Easy to understand and a breeze to navigate through. One of the strongest points is how easy it is to train your staff on.

Moreover, their customer service is phenomenal - very quick, responsive, and helpful.
