Tether keeps a tour group together when the phone signal doesn't — a live headcount so the guide never pulls away two people short.

About

We help small guided-tour agencies whose guides herd big groups of older travelers through foreign countries, where people wander off in a mall or an airport and the phone signal is gone. Right now those guides run on a WhatsApp group and a lot of shouting, which both stop working the second the signal drops. Tether keeps the whole group on the same page and pointed back to the bus even with no wifi, and it takes a real headcount before you pull away.

Product

We help small guided-tour agencies keep everyone together on the road, even where the phone signal dies. With Tethered your guide gets a live headcount before the bus leaves, a shared "leave at" countdown everyone sees, one tap to send the whole group an announcement, and a saved pin that points stragglers back to the bus with no wifi. For your first tour, I set it up and run it with your guide myself.
