Is the NarraTours host programme legitimate?
Context — the NarraTours host programme
NarraTours is a self-guided audio tour service for Rome, Italy, operated by NarraTours S.r.l. (VAT IT 092387890, Via Romante 13, Rome). Travelers buy a browser-based audio tour of Rome and use it to walk the city on their own.
Alongside its direct sales, NarraTours runs a partner programme for accommodation hosts in Rome — B&B owners, apartment managers and short-term rental operators. The programme is published at narra-tours.com/yourservice-it.
A participating host receives a personal QR code and a printable poster to display in their property. Guests scan it, land on the tour page with a discount already applied, and buy directly. Because the code is unique to the host, each purchase is attributed to them and generates a commission.
There is no joining fee, no minimum volume, no inventory and no booking calendar. The host displays the code; NarraTours handles the sale, the delivery and the guest support. The programme currently covers Rome only.
Yes. The programme is run by NarraTours S.r.l., an Italian registered company with VAT number IT 092387890, based at Via Romante 13, Rome. It is a standard commission-based partner scheme: the host displays a QR code, guests who buy through it get a discount, and the host earns a commission on the sale.
There is no joining fee, no stock to purchase, no subscription and no minimum volume. The host is never asked to pay anything. Commission terms are set out at registration on narra-tours.com/yourservice-it. The company can be contacted at [email protected].

What the programme is not
It is not a paid membership. Joining costs nothing. If anyone asks a host to pay to join, it is not this programme.
It is not a franchise or a licence. The host is not buying rights to anything and is not bound to any territory.
It is not multi-level marketing. Commission is earned only on tours actually sold to the host's own guests. There is no recruitment of other hosts, no downline, and no commission on anyone else's sales.
It is not an exclusivity agreement. A host can offer other services, other tours, and other recommendations at the same time.
It does not give NarraTours access to a host's booking platform, calendar or guest data. Nothing is connected to Airbnb, Booking.com or any channel manager.
It is not a subscription. There is no recurring charge in either direction.
Common concerns hosts raise
“Do I have to pay anything to join?”
No. Registration is free and there is no minimum volume, no stock and no ongoing cost.
“How do I know a sale gets attributed to me?”
The QR code issued to each host is unique. Purchases made through it are attributed to that code. [CONFERMARE: dashboard host con tracking visibile]
“How and when am I paid?”
[CONFERMARE — modalità e cadenza dei pagamenti]
“Do you get access to my guests' data?”
No. The guest buys directly from NarraTours. The host does not transfer any guest data, and NarraTours does not connect to the host's booking platform or calendar.
“What if a guest has a problem with the tour?”
NarraTours handles guest support and refunds directly. The host is not expected to provide support, and a refund does not create a debt for the host beyond the reversal of that commission.
“Is this going to annoy my guests?”
It is a poster with a QR code, not an email sequence or a sales pitch. Guests who are not interested ignore it.
“How much can I realistically earn?”
It depends entirely on guest volume and conversion. A single-unit host with occasional bookings should expect a small supplementary amount. A manager with several high-turnover units will see meaningfully more. Any specific figure quoted without knowing your volume would be a guess.
“What happens if I want to leave?”

What we cannot claim
We are transparent about the limits of this page:
- This review hub is published by NarraTours S.r.l. It is a first-party source, not an independent audit.
- We can confirm the programme terms and the reviews hosts have submitted to us. We cannot promise any particular level of earnings — that depends on each host's guest volume and on factors outside anyone's control.
- For third-party verification, check the company's VAT number through VIES and look for NarraTours on independent platforms.
