You have to use a front end form. The documentation is here.
Basically, you change the settings below to fit your needs and add the acf_form($settings); where you want the form to appear.
It involves programming, so you have to have access to the WordPress theme files.
If you want this to appear on the Edit-tours.php page you have to add the coding to that file.
This: <?php acf_form_head(); ?> goes at the top of your file ahead of get_header();.
$settings = array(
/* (string) Unique identifier for the form. Defaults to 'acf-form' */
'id' => 'acf-form',
/* (int|string) The post ID to load data from and save data to. Defaults to the current post ID.
Can also be set to 'new_post' to create a new post on submit */
'post_id' => false,
/* (array) An array of post data used to create a post. See wp_insert_post for available parameters.
The above 'post_id' setting must contain a value of 'new_post' */
'new_post' => false,

A special placeholder '%post_url%' will be converted to post's permalink (handy if creating a new post)
A special placeholder '%post_id%' will be converted to post's ID (handy if creating a new post) */
