WeTravel helps me a lot with the day by day operations
WeTravel helps me a lot with the day-by-day operations of my Travel Agency, very easy to work with and have everything well organized. Being able to accept payments, process refunds, make transfers to the business accounts, etc, it is a truly a great tool to simplify all we have to manage in a small family-owned business but I believe it works for big companies too.

The WeTravel Team
As the owner of a golf travel company, I've used WeTravel extensively over the past several years and it has become an essential part of our business operations.
The platform makes it incredibly easy to build trip pages, collect payments, manage traveler information, and keep everything organized in one place. What started as a payment solution has evolved into a true trip management platform that helps us deliver a better experience for our clients while reducing administrative work on our end.
One of the biggest differentiators is the customer support. Whenever we've had questions, needed help troubleshooting, or wanted guidance on best practices, the WeTravel team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success.
We've processed hundreds of travelers and significant booking volume through the platform, and it has consistently been reliable and easy to use for both our team and our clients.
For any tour operator, travel advisor, event organizer, or group travel business looking for a professional way to manage bookings and payments, I highly recommend WeTravel.

After struggling for years to find the best platform to manage payments and bookings, I came across We Travel.
Choosing them was by far the best professional choice I have ever made. It is a great solution to manage payments (especially when you have to deal with installments across the long term) and collecting booking information.
On top of this, with the new features they announced, this will probably become the best software for travel businesses such as Tour Operators, Travel Agencies and DMCs.
Highly recommended to anyone in the industry.

This site is the biggest scam. They will withhold your money from your retreat and make you pay for your entire retreat out of pocket. It says they will give you your money in 30 days after your retreat is over and then they withhold it even longer. They owe me $4,000 and I still have no received it and it has been over 40 days since my retreat. DO NOT USE THIS SITE FOR YOUR RETREATS.

Hello Ayme,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how concerning it is when you're waiting to receive your funds.
We'd like to clarify that WeTravel does not withhold funds arbitrarily. In some cases, organizers may have a Partially Approved account status, which means that payouts are temporarily subject to an additional review period. This is a standard risk management measure designed to help protect both organizers and travelers, support secure payment processing, and ensure compliance requirements.
Once an organizer's first trip has been completed and the applicable review period has passed, they can request a re-evaluation. Our Payments team will then review the account and provide the next steps based on the account review.
As we can't discuss account-specific details here, we'd be happy to look into your case directly. Please contact us at [email protected], and our team will provide you with the most accurate update on your account.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to resolve this matter with you.

Great Platform for Tour Operators – Seamless Payments & Stellar Support!
Five stars all the way for WeTravel! As a tour operator, finding a platform that balances comprehensive features with user-friendly design can be a challenge, but WeTravel hits the perfect sweet spot.
The itinerary builder is incredibly intuitive, allowing us to present our tours beautifully and professionally. On top of that, the payment processing is seamless, secure, and hassle-free for both our team and our international clients. It has completely streamlined our booking workflow.
A special shout-out to Dennis from the WeTravel support team! He was absolutely amazing and instrumental in helping me get our account set up for Wild Roars Uganda. His patience, guidance, and responsiveness made the onboarding process incredibly smooth.

Amazing experience with Mohammed Amleh for onboarding our company to the WeTravel platform. You can see his care and passion shine through for his clients and the effort he puts into find answers, even if he is not sure there and then, he will go and find out. The payment system is clean, easy to implement and multi currency & fleixbility is a big plus! We primarily use the booking capture embeds for & passenger management tools and up until now I have no complaints! Looking forward to seeing the development continue with the new CRM feature & excited to continue the journey with WeTravel.

Payment process is fine, but credit card fees are excessive
The payment process appears to be secure and fairly straightforward. My deduction of two stars is based on the excessive "service fees" they charge with any payment by credit card. Whether paying in CAD or USD, there was a nearly 4% markup. Fortunately, it's possible to avoid this by paying directly from a bank account by electronic funds transfer, but I have never seen credit card fees this high. Given those fees, it's much better to pay directly from your bank account.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you found the payment process secure, straightforward, and easy to use.
We completely understand your concerns about credit card processing fees. These charges are associated with our payment processing partners and help cover the costs of secure payment handling, fraud prevention, and card network services. The exact fee may vary depending on the card type, currency, and region.
For future bookings, it's worth keeping in mind that bank transfer is also available as a payment option where supported. Unlike credit card payments, bank transfers do not incur card processing fees, making them a cost-effective alternative.
We truly appreciate your feedback and your suggestion. Comments like yours help us continue improving the payment experience for all our clients.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you on another trip soon!
The Wetravel team.
4 Stars downgraded to 1 Star after learned experience
I am editing this review. Here is my story. This company actually chased me for four years to join their platform. Because of the failure of another company, I agreed to do so because I needed the payment platform.
They have a review process when onboarding new companies and mine, it seems, was pushed through in a hurry so their salesmen could get their commission.
So I started using the platform and was going well. Then suddenly, they blocked a payment of over €12k and held the funds, "pending a review". My company has a decade of history, an impeccable reputation, and never any whiff of wrong-doing. So, they block my funds, and the things they request to "complete their review" include private emails between us and our client. I have never felt so furious, and I have never felt like my privacy and that of my clients privacy have been so invaded. This company CHASED ME for four years asking me to join the platform, then, when I finally capitulate, suddenly I am untrustworthy.
I take back everything I said in my original review. Unless you want to have your money blocked (for how long, no one will say, they are still holding my €12k) then I would strongly advise against using this company.

If you are a Tour Operator, this platform is excellent and easy to use for payment collection...
I have been considering using this platform for a number of years, but I could not get motivated to deal with change; my agency is just too busy. Anyway, a failure of a payment platform that we were using, coinciding with a WhatsApp message from Dennis Mathiu, made me take the plunge. I have been very happy so far with the service that Dennis has provided, and the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think there could have been a smoother onboarding of our enormous library, which they tell me they are working on getting done for me. And, I do think that writing an itinerary in WeTravel is more complicated than in the service that we currently use, so, it will take some convincing to get me to move my itinerary builder to WeTravel. But, the payment platform works perfectly. The prices are reasonable, the payment options are great, and clients have actually said to me today that they found the experience of being able to choose the mode of payment, and payment currency, is really convenient for them. It is convenient for me because we take payments from all over the world and then have to send the money to Madagascar and so far so good, it has all worked perfectly on this platform.

We’re still actively using this system for Savannah Adventures in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and it has been a great addition to our operations. Many of our guests use it to pay for safari game drives, Chobe day trips, Hwange trips, as well as our Moonlight & Stargazing 4x4 safaris here in Victoria Falls.
The system is smooth, reliable, and easy for both us and our guests, which makes a real difference in day-to-day business.
A special thank you to Dennis — the customer service has been outstanding. He’s available almost day and night, always quick to respond, and incredibly supportive. His ongoing help has genuinely contributed to growing our business.
Highly recommend — very happy with the experience!

I joined WeTravel in January 2026 and use it to help run my student travel business, after leaving another platform. They provided an integration we needed, and the customer support during the migration and setup process was very much appreicated! We Travel set everything up for me and trained me how to use the differnet features (They helped transfer old bookings over to WeTravel)
The itinerary builder, website builder, and AI features in the CRM are huge time savers!
Just had the misfortune to pay for service with We Travel.
A 3.6% surcharge means I will consider purchasing services from companies using this payment platform.

Thank you for sharing your feedback - we understand that additional fees can be frustrating.
WeTravel is the payment platform used by travel organizers, and any service or processing fees are set upfront based on factors like payment method, currency, and the organizer’s configuration. These fees are always shown before completing the payment so you can review the total cost in advance.
That said, we appreciate your perspective and will continue working to keep pricing as transparent and fair as possible. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your specific transaction or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] - we’re happy to help.
I booked a diving trip with another company. They sent me a link to pay for the booking with WeTravel.
There is a service fee of $8.50 I have to pay extra. After I payed notice they charge me $42 service fee, instead of $8.50. This is not the price I saw and agreed on.
Update: to add insult to injury they invited me to talk to a chatbot.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience - we’re really sorry to hear about the confusion around the service fee.
WeTravel provides the payment platform used by travel organizers, and fees can vary depending on factors like the payment method, currency, and how the organizer has configured their checkout. That said, the total cost should always be clearly displayed before payment is completed - so what you’re describing doesn’t sound right.
We’d really like to look into this for you and make sure everything was charged correctly. Could you please reach out to us at [email protected]? We’ll review this in detail and help clarify or correct anything that’s off.
We appreciate you flagging this and hope to resolve it for you quickly.
Lied to when signing up as a provider. The things I asked for and was assured were present aren't. I wanted to drag and drop trips and I insisted that we needed to access our trip calendar on our phones. We were sold quite hard to take the system moving from Fareharbor, but now regret it. It's also not simple to have a widget that displays all trips. Almost impossible. No WeTravel built system for Wordpress buttons either, so it's at best clunky if you use a wordpress site. On the mobile calendar, I have been informed that I can develop my own solution to have a mobile calendar and only have to pay £80 per month to do this - pretty steep for a feature they should have (it promised it was coming soon over 6 months ago). Interface is lovely on the positive side, but that's about it. Very disappointed.
Edit: response to reply. The Wordpress widgets are based on a third party plug in, which is what I was referring to. There’s no simple way of having all trips on one link to put on a button either. In fact I’m sure they said that wasn’t possible. I would also add that mobile use is near impossible because of the reliance on Authenticator apps and how poorly designed for mobile the site is. Worst part is the attitude you deal with though.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re really sorry to hear that things haven’t met your expectations.
We’d like to clarify a couple of points, as some of the functionality you mentioned is available on the platform. WeTravel does provide embeddable booking widgets, including “Book Now” buttons and an All Trips widget, which allow you to display and sell trips directly from your website, including WordPress, via HTML embed. While this setup may require some initial configuration, it is actively used by many organizers.
That said, we understand that you were expecting a more plug-and-play experience and that this may have felt limiting, especially when transitioning from another system. We also recognize your concerns regarding mobile access and evolving features, and we’re continuously working on improvements in these areas.
We’d really appreciate the opportunity to better understand your setup and help you get the most out of the platform. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] to assist you better.
We wish you every success with your business moving forward.

I inquired about working with wetravel for my business and was rudely denied with no reasoning. My business is groups exclusively. I spoke with someone else who was also treated the same way. They purposely spelled my name incorrectly as well and that felt passive aggressive.

Hi Britney,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience - this is not the impression we want to leave, and we sincerely apologize if the interaction felt rude or dismissive, including the misspelling of your name.
As a payments platform, we must follow strict verification and risk requirements set by our banking partners. This includes reviewing a company’s operating history and online presence, and in some cases requires a minimum period of active business activity. These criteria are compliance-driven and not something we can override.
You can find more details about this process here: https://help.wetravel.com/en/articles/1619345-guide-to-getting-verified-on-wetravel
We appreciate your point about clearer expectations and will continue working to improve transparency in our onboarding process. We wish you every success with your business moving forward.

I went to my bank in Canada and wasted two days trying to send payment for my tour and then when I asked THE BOT to send the necessary info so we could transfer payment direct to their bank, they never responded. I waited TWO hours and finally left the bank on the second day.
Impossible to speak with a real person, Terrible way to do business.
Pleas enjoy working with a BOT.
Because of this lack of service, in future I will make travel arrangements with a real person!

Hi there,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience - that sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after spending so much time at the bank.
We want to reassure you that we are here to help, and you can always speak with a real person. Our support team is available to assist you directly with payment details or any questions - you’re not limited to interacting with a bot.
For security reasons, your payment details are always available in your booking dashboard, and our agents can guide you step by step on where to find them or how to complete your payment.
If you’re still trying to complete your payment, please reach out again and we’ll make sure one of our team members supports you as quickly as possible.
There is almost no support. They leave out certain things, like when 2 people sharing a room, the account only opens for the lead name and the person needs a random link each time to make their own payments. I have asking question regarding the automatic billing on someone's credit card, when they have decided to pay the tour in full by personal check, which I have been told I need to add manually. Right now for one week I have been unable to transfer funds. They have NOONE to help you, AI Bots, that's it. They close early, east coast time, but I am on the west coast. I would recommend no one on the West Coast use them. I have been trying to reach someone for over 10 days, no luck yet. I am stuck.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
To clarify, our support hours are officially 4am–5pm EST, but we do extend coverage until 10pm EST to better support customers across time zones, including the West Coast. We’re also actively expanding our team to further improve availability and responsiveness.
I’ve taken a closer look at your case and can see that multiple team members have been assisting you over the past days, not just our automated tools. That said, it’s clear we haven’t resolved this for you as quickly or smoothly as we should have, and we understand how frustrating that is, especially when funds are involved.
We absolutely want to make sure you’re not left stuck or without clear guidance.
Please rest assured that our team will continue following up on your case and work with you toward a resolution. If there’s anything still pending or unclear, we’re here to help every step of the way.
I used the free version of this website for years then they made you get verified in order to use anything. I did the verification only to be rejected without explanation and my account locked. What kind of company locks you out of yoru account to immediate effect and sends an email not to ask any questions. I'm convinced they are stealing people's ideas and work in order to launch their own group travel and doing research for th emost popular trips based on their data. Watch, in a few years they'll be offering We travel trips.

Hi Fred,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
Account verification and re-verification is required to keep the platform secure and compliant with regulations, and in some cases, access may be restricted if verification cannot be completed successfully. While we’re limited in the details we can share, these decisions are not taken lightly and are never related to using customer ideas or data in the way described.
We’d be happy to take another look at your case, please reach out to our support team so we can review this further with you.
we had a great service from we travel, cant drop this review without highlighting our hero from wetravel Mohammed Amleh - who helped us by doing everything like our own staff and did a great job, amazing customer service and super flexible with timings - literally did meet our expectations - Thanks Mo
