Why German tour operators choose Helm

Germany's tour market combines year-round city tourism in Berlin and Munich with some of the world's biggest seasonal events. Managing that swing — from quiet January weeks to six million Oktoberfest visitors — requires an operations platform built for flexibility.

Helm syncs your products across Viator, GetYourGuide (headquartered in Berlin), and Bókun so availability stays accurate whether you're selling a Reichstag tour or a Black Forest hiking excursion. Changes cascade instantly across channels.

Germany's federal structure means guide regulations vary by state. Helm's qualification matching tracks each guide's certifications and regional authorizations, so you stay compliant without manual checks.

Whether you run Berlin walking tours with three guides or manage a 30-person team across five German cities, Helm grows with you. Start free with two seats and move to Growth at €30/month when you're ready.

Stop managing your tours from a spreadsheet and a group chat—there's a better way.

Helm replaces the patchwork of tools tour operators rely on with one purpose-built platform for everything that happens after a booking.
