Answers.Body: <p>Sorry, I can't answer your question but 4 tours per day 7 days a week doesn't get your 800 events a month - only approx 120 per months.  You don't have 30 weeks in a month but only 4 to 5 weeks.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>An alternative to generating the events in CiviCRM itself would be to use the <a href="https://github.com/christianwach/civicrm-event-organiser" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CiviCRM Event Organiser</a> plugin. This would enable you to sync Events provided by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Event Organiser</a> plugin with Events in CiviCRM. Using Event Organiser would give you a calendar and list of events in WordPress out of the box and, IMO, its UI for generating repeating event schedules is rather good.</p>

Body: <p>We are a small museum now installing CiviCRM on Wordpress. We conduct walking tours for museum visitors: 4 tours/day, 7 days/week. We would like to offer on-line registration for the tours. I'm imagining a form that would let on-line visitors select the date and the time-of-day (10am, 12, 2, 4pm) and pre-pay the tour fee. This type of repeating event doesn't seem appropriate for CiviEvent's Repeating Event mode of operation because we would have upwards of 4x7x30=840 events per month and only a small portion would have any participants. Is there a work-around for what we want to do.</p>

  I recommend to **use CiviEvent's built-in repeat-function** in order to achieve this.
  
  Define one template per timeslot (<https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/events/event-templates>) and batch-create the child-items (<https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/events/repeating-events/>).
  
  We handle 5000+ events/year like this without any problems.
