Reviews For Trips, Your Company, And Guides
Before your customers pay for a service or product, they read the reviews. They want to know if they’re making a good decision and if they can trust you. If a visitor can’t read reviews through your Fareharbor widget, they’ll go elsewhere for the social proof.
Origin lets your guests leave reviews for your trips, your company, and your guides. Fareharbor doesn’t.


Empowering Your Guides
We understand the need to get away from a desk and into the outdoors.
Instead of wrangling your guides, empower them.
With Origin, guides can create accounts, design their schedules, and edit their availability. We’ve even made it so they don’t have to be at a computer to accept a booking with automatic trip requests via text.
