Consider Benvo if

For clubs and event venues booking tours and viewings, Benvo's Appointments module ($49 a month per venue) is a third option. Each tour lands on the enquiry and guest record, and Emma can book it herself, though Benvo's booking page does not take payment and syncs to Google Calendar one way.
