Answer every guest question before they ask.

14-day free trial. No card needed.
What guests see
One link, opened in the browser they already have. It works the moment they tap it.
One link, everything a guest needs
Door code and check-in steps, ready on arrival
Directions open in their maps app
What you do
Three steps, in order, between an empty page and a link you can send.
Add your property
Name the place, drop in the address, and pick a cover photo.
Fill in the sections
Check-in, WiFi, house rules, parking, and check-out come ready to fill. Add photos where they help.
Share one link
Publish, then send the link or a QR code to every guest who books.
Everything a guest asks about, in one place
The details hosts answer over and over, written once and kept current.
A guest view that feels like an app
Guests open a link or scan a code and get a clean mobile page with copy-WiFi, one-tap directions, and your contact details up top.
Sections built for rentals
Check-in, WiFi, house rules, parking, quirks of the home, check-out, and FAQ come ready to fill. Add custom sections for anything else.
Photos where they help
Show the lockbox, the thermostat, the parking spot. Every section takes photos.
Map and directions
Your property on a map with a directions button that opens the guest's maps app.
PDF for the printer
Download the whole guidebook as a PDF for a binder or a welcome email.
Publish in minutes
Autosave as you type, publish when you are ready, share one link.
AI drafts your first version
Answer a few questions about the property, and the assistant writes a complete guidebook draft. Edit any section afterward.
Video and map embeds
Paste a YouTube link or a Google Maps link into any section, and it renders inline. Guests watch the video or explore the map right there in the guidebook.
Local favorites you actually chose
Search the restaurants, cafes, shops and sights around your property, pick the ones you send guests to, and add a line about why. Guests get cards with photos, ratings, walking distance and directions, plus a map with every pin.
Five looks, or your own brand
Pick a complete look for the guest view — paper and sea glass, warm sand, near-black, deep green, or pure white. On a paid plan, add your accent colour, your logo and your font, and drop the TouchGuides badge.
Your own address
Every guidebook answers on its own touchguides.com address. On a paid plan, point a domain you own at it: we attach it, show the record to create, and switch it on as soon as DNS lands.
A QR sheet for the door
Print an A4 or Letter sign in your brand colour with the code, the short address and the WiFi details. Tape it to the fridge and the questions stop.
