Every experience has a type: Multi-day tour or Day tour / activity. You choose it when you create the experience. The type decides how you price the trip, how travelers pay, and what your trip page shows.
The type cannot be changed after the experience is created. If you picked the wrong one, create a new experience with the right type.
What changes with the type
Multi-day tour | Day tour / activity | |
Priced with | Packages, such as "Shared room" and "Private room". Each traveler picks one. | Participant types, such as Adult and Child, or one total by party size. |
Pickup points | No | Yes, optional |
Payment plans | Yes: deposit and installments | No: travelers always pay in full at checkout |
Traveler names | First and last name for each traveler | Not asked. The buyer's details are enough. |

An example
Sete Colinas Tours sells a full-day trip to Sintra. It is a Day tour / activity with three participant types: Adult, Child (4–12) and Senior (65+). A family of two adults and one child picks a date on the calendar, chooses a pickup point, and pays the full amount at checkout.
Alpine Adventures sells a ski week in Chamonix. It is a Multi-day tour with two packages: "Shared room (twin)" and "Private room (single)". Each traveler picks a package. The group pays a 50% deposit when they book and the rest 30 days before departure.
