What Experience Time Configuration Controls
Experience time configuration determines how a trip behaves in your calendar and how clients select times during booking.
Depending on how you set it up, a trip can:
Block a guide for the entire day
Reserve a guide for a specific number of hours
Offer multiple start times for the same experience
Display clearly in the Trip Calendar and Daily Assignment timeline
Allow clients to choose available time slots when booking online
These options make it easier to support staggered scheduling, such as running morning and afternoon trips on the same day.
