Peek Pro is a well-known booking platform for tours and activities, but it is not the only credible option. Here are seven alternatives with different pricing models, feature sets, and ideal customer profiles — including options that fit rental businesses better than Peek Pro itself.
Peek Pro powers a lot of tour and activity operators — especially those that want exposure on Peek's consumer marketplace. The software is genuinely capable, with a deep reservation engine and a solid mobile experience. But after talking to hundreds of operators evaluating their booking stack, we see the same friction points come up.
The most common reasons people search for Peek Pro alternatives are: per-booking fees that grow as revenue grows, pricing that is not fully transparent until you talk to a sales rep, support response times that have lengthened as the platform has scaled, and a feature set that is heavily tour-shaped rather than rental-shaped. If your business is a multi-day rental (bikes, kayaks, jet skis, equipment, trailers, gear) rather than a fixed-time tour, Peek Pro often feels like it is fighting your workflow.
There is also a structural question worth thinking through before you switch. Peek Pro is part of a broader Peek ecosystem that includes the consumer marketplace at Peek.com. That ecosystem can be a net positive (you may pick up bookings from Peek search traffic) or a quiet negative (the marketplace listing puts you next to competitors, and customers who arrive via Peek are technically Peek's customers, not yours). Operators who want full ownership of their customer relationship — complete with their own branded site, their own email list, their own retargeting pixels — tend to be the ones most actively searching for alternatives.
None of this means Peek Pro is a bad product — it is a strong fit for high-volume activity operators that want marketplace distribution and are happy to pay a percentage of every booking for it. But it is one option in a category with seven or eight serious contenders, and the right answer depends heavily on whether you operate tours, activities, rentals, or some combination. Below is a head-to-head comparison, then a deeper card for each.
Switching booking software is one of the highest-leverage operational decisions an operator makes — and one of the highest-risk if you pick poorly. Before you commit, run every candidate (including Peek Pro itself) through five questions:

Honest pros, cons, and pricing for every alternative.
Founded in 2019 in Bacau, Romania, Reservety serves 500+ active rental businesses worldwide (~90% United States) - from a solo operator with one kayak to enterprise rental companies managing 10,000+ items across multiple warehouses with their own delivery fleets. The same product fits both ends of that spectrum because we configure each instance to match the operator's workflow rather than shipping a fixed feature set.
Where Peek Pro hands you a polished UI and asks you to learn it, Reservety hands you a launched, branded rental site built by our team in 3-5 days. Every account gets a dedicated support assistant with one-on-one team chat - on every plan, regardless of size - and when your business needs a feature the standard configuration doesn't handle, we build it into your instance instead of waiting on a roadmap.
FareHarbor is one of the largest tour and activity booking platforms in the world. Acquired by Booking Holdings in 2018, it serves thousands of established tour operators globally and is best known for its account-rep-led onboarding model where a real person walks you through the setup.
Bokun is owned by TripAdvisor (Viator's parent company) and is built around the idea that you should be able to start free and add features as you grow. Its primary strength is OTA distribution: it ties cleanly into Viator, GetYourGuide, Expedia, and other major channels with minimal setup overhead.
Rezdy is an Australia-founded tours and activities platform with a strong reputation in the channel-manager space. Its main differentiator is the Rezdy Channel Manager, which lets operators distribute inventory across dozens of resellers from a single dashboard. Operators whose growth model centers on reseller distribution — not direct-to-consumer marketing — tend to rank Rezdy highly. It has a strong presence in Australia, New Zealand, and increasingly in North America and Europe, with a relatively mature API for operators who want to build custom integrations on top.
TrekkSoft is a Swiss-founded booking platform that is especially popular with European tour and activity operators. It places strong emphasis on multilingual support, payment localization across EU currencies, and on-premise POS hardware for in-person ticketing. If you run a ticket-counter operation in Innsbruck or a guided tour in Barcelona, TrekkSoft's translation coverage and EU compliance features (VAT handling, SEPA payments, GDPR tooling) are genuinely differentiated — this is the platform most often recommended by EU operators specifically.
Checkfront is one of the broader booking platforms in the space — it sits between tour operator software and rental management software and serves both audiences. It is particularly strong for activity operators with complex resource constraints (guides, equipment, staff) that need to be scheduled together. Where many tour platforms assume "one customer books one slot," Checkfront natively handles "one customer books a guide who has these qualifications, plus three kayaks of a specific type, plus a vehicle to get them to the put-in, all for the same 9am Tuesday window."
Xola targets the mid-market tour operator segment with a sales-led, white-glove onboarding model. Its strengths are a clean, modern interface and a serious investment in customer success — you typically get a dedicated rep who helps you migrate from your previous platform. The product itself is solid, but Xola's real differentiator is the human service layer: operators consistently report that their account managers know the product deeply and respond fast. That kind of service shows up in the negotiated price.
We narrowed a long list of tour, activity, and rental booking platforms down to seven that genuinely compete with Peek Pro for serious operators. We used five criteria, applied equally to every candidate including our own product:
We are transparent that Reservety is our product, so we have called out its weaknesses (no native mobile app, smaller brand recognition in tour-operator circles, no consumer marketplace) alongside its strengths. The goal is to help you pick the right software for your business, even if that turns out to be one of the others on this list.
A condensed decision tree for picking the right platform from this list.
Bikes, kayaks, jet skis, party rentals, trailers, golf carts, equipment, gear. Reservety's flow is built around date-range rentals with pickup, return, deposits, and delivery zones. Most tour platforms treat rentals as a secondary use case.
High-volume tours, escape rooms, classes, brewery tours, walking tours. FareHarbor's affiliate network and Bokun's Viator/GetYourGuide integration drive incremental bookings you would not otherwise capture.
Both have mature channel managers that distribute inventory across dozens of OTAs from a single dashboard. Rezdy is stronger for operators with a technical team that wants API access; Bokun is stronger for operators that want a free starting point.
European tour operators (Alps, Mediterranean, Northern Europe) consistently rate TrekkSoft well on localization and EU payment support. US operators usually find better fits elsewhere.
Adventure tours that need a guide plus equipment plus a vehicle plus a time slot all linked together. Checkfront handles multi-resource constraints better than most.
Both invest heavily in customer success staffing. Expect a sales conversation, custom pricing, and a several-week-long onboarding process — in exchange for a real human walking you through setup.
Peek Pro is a credible booking platform — especially for high-volume tour operators who value marketplace exposure and are comfortable with negotiated, per-booking pricing. But it is one option in a category that has matured significantly over the last five years, and "tour operator software" is no longer a monolith.
If you are running a rental business — not a tour business — the answer is almost always: pick rental-native software. Tour platforms force you to bend your workflow around fixed time slots, fixed durations, and per-headcount pricing models that do not match how rentals actually work. Reservety is purpose-built for date-range rentals, includes the website and booking engine in the base plan, and charges nothing per booking. That is what the OUR PICK badge above is about.
If you are running a tour or activity business, the right answer depends on whether marketplace distribution, EU localization, complex resource scheduling, or white-glove onboarding matters most for you. Use the decision tree above as a starting point, take advantage of free trials where they exist, and run real cost-at-volume numbers before signing anything.
