I have an entire staff in my pocket and the support and training from FareHarbor are always there when I have a question. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to send more automatic mails than currently possible. That's it. > > Reliable, professional, honest. Every question is answered. Every promise fulfilled. What more is there? ----- ### "Good if you're a big business." — 4.0/5 > **JOSEPH** | *9 April 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: API connectivity. It synced up with a lot of my partners > > **Cons**: Trying to strong arm small businesses who are already being squeezed by Viator. > > A little rough in the beginning but eventually got it working. They were helpful with all setups and tackled any issue quickly. ----- ### "FareHarbor Has Finger On Pulse of My Business & Like Having One's Own Private Team\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shannon** | *30 May 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sounds cliche, but it's very organic and "thinks" like someone in the tour industry. It's almost scary\! It's like the software knows what I'm thinking at times, stays ahead of me but then other times, it's like I'm teaching it new things. Very collaborative feeling. > > **Cons**: I doubt if anything is dummy proof but this is as close as it can get. I do hope that in the future, they will find a way for me to add some alternative things to the checkout for the customer. I have a product that is related to the traveler experience and would love to have it as a check out option right before they buy the tour tickets or complete the transaction because I feel its like a final sale's plug reminder that they might either jump on board with or be interested enough to go back and review the product's description and be influenced to purchase it last second. Currently its an item for sale but its too separated from where I think it needs to be personally. > > I grew up with eTix, moved along with ZERVE (whom I adored) and then came into FareHarbor once ZERVE bit the dust. FareHarbor had some kinks at first but then took the torch and ran with it like a leader well in touch with things. I like that FareHarbor gets that although there's a template or universal aspect to tour businesses, that there are also some like my own that are constantly changing, evolving and pushing the envelope and do more than stay conventional. It means the world that their team is open to my evolution and are willing to work to create new dimensions to their own system to help me fulfill my vision\! That's massive and money in the bank\! ----- ### "you need to try this you'll love it" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *18 June 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it's a pay as you go.and how easy it's to pass the processing fees onto the end customer > > **Cons**: the booking fees can accumulate over time .and the fees can get a bit pricey.it is a bit confusing at first.. > > there are very little things I dont like but mostly it's super convenient..I do recommend this to everyone ----- ### "Works for basic needs, but has gaps" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 April 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features that I like most include that a hold can be placed on dates and times by utilizing Private Headlines. New bookings for contacts are very convenient as well as rebooking and cancellations. Plenty of places for notes and the ability to run reports for those various reports. Love all the freedom to program what you want when creating an event, especially when it comes to what information you want to collect from the registrant. > > **Cons**: The load times are extremely slow. In addition, the program will allow overlapping event reservations utilizing the same resources without telling the user. This can allow double booking of the same location, despite what resources are marked when setting up the event. This is a major problem. There is also the inability to delete several bookings for the contact during the same Order. This is annoying and time consuming when the order has 10+ bookings. > > Overall we are booking field trips, tours, and other events. There are multiple users and multiple locations that we are all trying to book within. In the event we are all paying very close attention to what is going on everywhere, we can manage with no problems, however, if we are very busy or someone is very stressed to get something on Fareharbor in a hurry, it is possible to double book something without Fareharbor having any warning. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32804/fareharbor?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32804/fareharbor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
