What Tour Operators Are Saying

Hear directly from tour operators who've partnered with UpLevel Tourism to attract more corporate and private groups.

“I’m actually getting something for my money.”

Nili from San Diego loves the tangible results she gets from working with UpLevel. After past experiences where she paid consultants without seeing much in return, she now receives real, valuable deliverables that make her investment feel worthwhile—even when the payments are larger. The difference? She’s seeing the payoff, not just the invoices.

“I don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off.”

Colin from Colorado shares how working with UpLevel Tourism feels completely different from past experiences with technology providers. Instead of being met with confusing jargon or secrecy, he feels fully informed, supported, and confident that he’s getting real value—without the usual frustration or skepticism.

“This has been the most empowering business tool I’ve seen. I am a better leader, more intentional in every level of my business, and frankly a better person for having taken it to heart.”

— André Baronov-Torres, Magnifico Tours

“Connecting with other UpLevel clients was invaluable.”

Lia from Louisville found that one of the most valuable parts of working with UpLevel Tourism was meeting other tour operators who are on the same journey. The conversations, shared insights, and real-world success stories from fellow clients made a lasting impact—so much so that she’s hoping for a full UpLevel conference in the future!

Real Experiences, Real Results

We understand you're cautious because you've been disappointed by empty promises before, you're not alone. Hear directly from tour operators just like you, who share honestly about their experience.

“The communication and organization are next-level.”

Rachel from Boston highlights how UpLevel’s structured approach keeps everything on track. She’s never left a meeting feeling confused or unsure of the next steps. The clear, organized processes make it easy to stay focused and move forward—even without a deep background in marketing.

“We have a strong enough relationship to be vulnerable.”

Laurie from Colorado shares how working with UpLevel has created a space where she feels comfortable admitting when she doesn’t understand something—without judgment. Unlike past experiences, she never feels hesitant or uncomfortable asking questions, creating a supportive partnership that's made a meaningful difference.

“Every tour operator in the world should consider buying this DIY Kit. A much, much needed tool in the industry.”

— Frédérik Nissen, Local Montreal Tours

“Finally—someone who actually understands our business.”

Bethia from Columbus explains the relief of partnering with a team who genuinely understands her business model. Instead of constantly needing to explain what makes food tours unique—even to those in similar industries—she now benefits from guidance rooted in real industry expertise and proven best practices.

“It finally didn’t get pushed to the bottom of the list.”

Bonnie from Victoria knew corporate groups were an opportunity but never had the time to take action. Working with UpLevel gave her the structure and support she needed to finally prioritize it. Instead of corporate sales being an afterthought buried under daily operations, she now has a clear plan—and the accountability to follow through.

“You’ve already created it—that’s a huge hurdle gone.”

Mike from Wisconsin knows the struggle of staring at a blank screen, unsure of where to start. He compares it to Michelangelo staring at a block of marble before sculpting David. But with UpLevel, that initial hurdle is already cleared—proven strategies, templates, and systems are in place so he can skip the frustration and focus on execution.

“Thanks for putting this DIY Kit together. It is incredibly valuable, filled with advice that makes total sense. So many lightbulb-going-off moments!”

— Wes Leslie, The Haunt Ghost Tours

Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of marketing agencies focus on increasing your visibility, but that doesn't lead to direct revenue. This is why you hear that you've had more clicks or you're ranking higher but you don't see an increase in tickets sold. Our approach is about butts in seats. Real group bookings. You'll measure your success with us by seeing your bottom line grow through more corporate groups, not just through visibility.

No—we minimize your workload with clearly defined steps and streamlined processes. In most cases, only 1hr per week is required to see real impact.

Our approach is tailored specifically to businesses available in your area and your market conditions.

Then let's figure out which groups you do have in your area. Whether that's school groups, conferences, or other high-value groups. We can focus on growing all of your private tour revenue.

It’s not about taking out huge groups, as much as it’s about providing your experience to companies in your area. If you can only accommodate 8 people, that’s great! A company can send multiple teams of 8 your way throughout the year.

By the third month of working together tours begin booking at 2x their regular ticket price.

When you start to have a more steady stream of leads coming in from private groups, we do suggest you purchase a CRM — that we will setup for you according to tourism industry best practices. These can carry a monthly cost with them from $250/mo up to over $500/mo depending on features and the number of email addresses you've acquired over the years.

Yes, we will. We regularly conduct research to answer this question in our US National Report on Corporate Groups. We'll also do outreach workshops with you, where we meet 1:1 and contact new leads together.

I mean, we never know for sure. If we did, we'd cost a hell of a lot more more. :) But we can go off of past data to see how our system has consistently helped tours generate incredible results. Visit our case studies page to see a few.
