FareHarbor and Peek Pro are the two booking platforms most tour and activity operators shortlist in 2026. Both are commission-based, both are demo-only, and both run a polished tour workflow — but they diverge on distribution and AI. FareHarbor, owned by Booking Holdings, leans on native OTA distribution to Booking.com, Viator and Expedia. Peek Pro counters with Peek Copilot, a genuinely capable native AI suite, plus its own consumer marketplace. We compare them fairly below. We also include EquipDash — a flat-fee third option — in the table.
