Empty seats, meet spontaneous travelers.
Stand-by Tours is a live marketplace for unsold tour and activity seats. Operators post what's left; you grab it at a stand-by price — sometimes 70% off list.

FAQ
Why are the prices so low?+
Operators would rather fill an empty seat than send a bus, boat or guide out half-full. We help them monetize inventory that would otherwise vanish.
How close to departure can I book?+
Up to 30 minutes before the tour starts, depending on the operator. Each deal shows its cutoff time.
Are bookings refundable?+
Stand-by prices are non-refundable and non-changeable. If you can't make it, you can't get your money back — that's the trade-off for the discount.
How do I know the operator is legit?+
Every supplier on Stand-by Tours is verified and rated by real travelers. We remove anyone who dips below a 4.2 average.
