Private tour guide receipts, expenses and final balances

Keep private tour charges, guest payments, attraction tickets and guide reimbursements tied to the same tour.

A private tour can have an agreed guest charge, a deposit, tickets bought by the guide, and a final balance. Record each once. A receipt describes the money received; the tour's costs and unpaid customer balance need their own records.

Create invoice

Create a free PDF invoice without an account. In the accounting workspace, Pro includes Daytime, customer records and managed invoices; Business adds costs, payment records and profit reports. Compare workspace plans. For the standalone generator, see invoice plans and availability.

What to record and review

Write down the tour date, guest or account customer, agreed charge, and any gratuity.
Record each deposit and final payment with a date and reference, then issue a receipt for the payment actually received.
Attach attraction tickets, parking, meals, and guide reimbursements to the tour before reviewing profit.

Worked example

A $500 private tour with a $100 deposit leaves $400 to collect. A $60 attraction ticket paid by the guide is a tour cost or reimbursement, depending on the agreement; it is not another customer payment.

Should a guest receipt include an unpaid tour balance?

A receipt should clearly show what was paid. You may also show the remaining balance if applicable, but confirm the amount against your records and do not describe an unpaid charge as paid.
