  • Shortcut to a rational workflow – benefits and savings for agencies

    Book dine rejseledere tidligt i processen.

    You have to perform many and very different tasks during a working day, both when you work in a travel agency, at a tour operator or at a hotel. It can be an advantage to contract out to external specialists some tasks.

    Let Guide Service Denmark book your guides and tour managers. It is an advantage for you both in terms of time, finances and quality, because you are benefitting from our top competence. We solve booking tasks competently at competitive rates and know the importance of solving an assignment quickly for you to move quickly forward in the process.

      • You can use us for assignments in Denmark and abroad - guides as well as tour managers and lecturers

      • You can choose us for all your tasks or as a supplement to your own guides. If you use us for all tasks, you get cash benefits

      • If you wish, we involve your existing staff of guides and tour managers so they can benefit from the collaboration as well. In your end you save time and finances with recruitment, costs for office staff and administration, and you get a fast, efficient and competent booking process with minimal time spent at your end. Your guides and tour managers benefit from more routine and the opportunity for more assignments

    Arbejder du på et museum, en herregård eller attraktion, hvor du administrerer et guidekorps, så er vores bookingsystem og håndtering din rationelle og økonomiske tilgang til opgaven.

    We are experts in our field just like your accountant or mechanic are in theirs.

  • Save time and money

    Yours as well as your colleagues' time is your most valuable investment.

      • Do you spend your time on the tasks where you are best at creating value?

      • Have you calculated the cost of each individual work task and the of booking guides

      • Have you made a calculation of all the costs when you yourself are struggling to find guides and tour managers and maintain a good number? Have you included all aspects and time consumption including all the time you spend recruiting new guides, training them, waiting for their answers when you are busy and in a hurry etc.

    Eksempel

    Example: You need a guide or tour manager. You either call or write to the guide. How long can you cope waiting for a response? How many do you have to ask and how long did you spend before the assignment was settled? If you don't get a yes right away, you can quickly end up spending a very long time, waiting a long time and your end customer will most likeyl be impatient. Your customer service suffers.

    We can lift the entire process from your shoulders. It only takes a moment to type your request in the form of a booking, and we do the rest - automatically. You get the benefit of all our knowledge, many years of experience and knowledge of the industry and your booking will be resolved quickly and efficiently. You can either choose a specific guide or tour manager or you can get an overview of who is available and choose from there. If your preferred guide or tour manager is not available, we automatically check who are, and you'll have the opportunity to choose from available guides as you know your client best. Sometimes it is easier for you to let us choose on your behalf, and we are happy to do so. Let us know which process you prefer.

    We are experts in booking guides and tour managers and can handle the booking cheaper than you can yourself - that is when you include all costs such as time, administration, salary system, holidays, waiting time etc. If you use the rule of thumb of factor 1.42 for social costs, you will find that we can match your normal rate and often end up being cheaper. All in all you only win by letting us solve booking assignments for you.

    We are of course happy to collaborate with your current guides and tour managers, for whom you can request a sole- or first priority.

  • Quickly find the right tour manager

    The majority of Danish tour managers work freelance both as guides as well as tour managers. Many cover a large number of destinations in order to generate a reasonable annual income.

    With us it is different. We allow all our tour managers to focus and concentrate on the destinations they love the most. This way they get better and work up a routine that will improve the tour for your guests.

    We value experience and competences as we see the outcome in quality being very valuable. Our tour managers work the destinations they are passionate about. That's an advantage for the tour manager, for you but most of all for your guests. An enthusiastic tour manager adds so much to the tour.

  • This is how you can supplement your number of guides and tour manager working with us

    You can let us handle all your recruitment of tour managers and guides and save a lot of time yourself. When you get applications, you can refer them to us. If you let us know, your referrals will be part of "your" staff with us, like your "original" tour guides. Alternatively, they are included on an equal footing with our existing guides and can be booked by all customers.

  • Assistance finding new destinations

    Make use of tour guides' expertise in the planning of a new destination. Our tour guides can help you adjust the agent's proposa and adapt the program to your special needs.

    A tour manager who knows his destination can quickly help you plan a tour. Sometimes the tour manager can review the program and contribute with good suggestions spending less time than you, if you do not already know the destination in detail.

  • Guides

    Du kan enten vælge en bestemt guide, få en oversigt over hvilke guider, der kan på tidspunktet eller du kan lade os vælge din guide til dig.

    Our booking form ensures we get all the relevant information right away and makes the booking process run smoothly. You get an overview of who can solve the assignment and who you can choose from. You can also let us choose for you, so that you can quickly get on with your other tasks.

    You don't have to spend time looking for a guide's name or phone number, call in vain, or put the process on hold while you wait for a response. We know the importance of quickly solving a task, so that you can move forward in the process. Whether you want to choose a guide yourself or we'll make the choice for you, you will get a good solution as quickly as possible.

  • Make all bookings with us and get a discount

    If you book all your guides with Guide Service Denmark, you get extra benefits, especially if you book a large quantity per year. We have guides in many languages throughout Denmark and in Danish abroad.

  • For museums, attractions etc.

    Letting us administer your guides will save your museum, attraction, manor house or institution a lot of time – internally and externally.

    If your museum needs to book many guides and wants to outsource the guide booking, we create a special guide corps for your museum only and, by agreement, ensure that the corps is always full, up-to-date on knowledge and we ensure continuous recruitment.

    We manage the booking of guides. We send you an invoice, you save a lot of time in administration, the payroll system etc. – alternatively we invoice the customer directly, but that's up to you. Whatever it's DKK saved. Your museum can continue to operate with the previous contribution and thus you save and gain in many areas with choosing this new procedure.

    Your work process becomes fast and efficient and you can concentrate on the tasks that only you can perform. It is also win-win and we can probably help generate more bookings for your museum. Everything you save in time is also DKK saved.

    If we manage your corps of guides, you set the guides' fees as usual - in cooperation with us. We are happy to advise and the advantage for the guides will be more assignments. In cooperation with us they can guide in several contexts. It makes it more attractive to be a guide at your museum. We can start with your existing guide corps, or we can start a corps from scratch. We adapt to your needs.
