Find your next experience with GetYourGuide in one click

The idea started during a trip to Beijing, where four friends found themselves stuck, unsure of what to see or how to book it. Back in Zurich, they wanted to solve this frustration for other travelers. That effort led to the creation of GetYourGuide, a platform for booking activities and entrance tickets, founded in 2009 in Germany by Tao Tao, Martin Sieber, Johannes Reck, and Tobias Rein.

A diverse catalog of things to do

The platform acts as an intermediary between you and local providers like rental companies, tour guides, parks, and museums. You can book an infinite variety of products, including museum entry, historical site tours, cultural or culinary experiences, nature excursions, sports, and city passes. In total, the site offers more than 75,000 activities across more than 150 countries.

The catalog is easy to use, allowing you to filter experiences by your destination, interests, budget, and the duration of the activity.

GetYourGuide is designed for travelers who want to plan specific outings at their destination. It works for a wide range of people, offering age-specific pricing for children, seniors, and students.

Savings, reliability, and support

While prices on GetYourGuide generally match those on official provider websites, the platform does feature promotions and bundled offers that can save you money.

Other key strengths include the ability to read reviews from previous travelers to gauge the quality of an experience. You also get cancellation flexibility, allowing you to cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled time. The company also provides responsive customer support to handle issues, along with an Android and iOS mobile app that makes it easy to manage bookings and scan entry tickets on the go.

My travel must-have

It is very simple: I have never had a bad experience with GetYourGuide, and I always use it at least once on my trips. Whether it is for day trips or one-off activities, it is always solid and simple to use. I once had a provider in Poland who forgot about me, but the GetYourGuide customer service was available on a Sunday at 8:00 AM to call them and try to help me out. Honestly, for my part, I recommend them with my eyes closed!

Convenient but be careful

GetYourGuide is convenient to use when traveling abroad. You have access to all possible activities on one single site. Before booking, be careful to read between the lines. Some providers add extra fees without you even realizing it sometimes.

Super convenient

I have used GetYourGuide several times to book tours during trips abroad.
The site is convenient because you can easily find many types of activities with user ratings.
It is reliable and simple to use.
On the other hand, the prices are not necessarily better than elsewhere.
I also often use it to find activity ideas, without necessarily booking directly on the site.

Avoid at all costs

They sell activities for which you aren't given priority.
Scam.
Cancellation by the site 2 days before.
Watch out.

A comprehensive and very handy site

I use GetYourGuide often to book tours abroad (monuments in Rome, Universal Studios in Los Angeles, a boat ride in San Francisco...). The site is really comprehensive, and I always find tons of offers quickly. The prices are pretty good, even if I haven't noticed a huge difference compared to other platforms. You get the ticket easily with a QR code, and I have never run into any issues. The reviews also help you get a good idea of the quality of the activity beforehand.

It was better before...

When I started using GetYourGuide, the prices were so good! You could find real gems for peanuts during the off-season. Now, all the local tour operators are on GetYourGuide and the rates are pretty much the same.
When you click on an attractive offer, there is usually a catch, like extra fees. I advise you to look closely at the reviews and the fine print, but I still recommend it.

Guided tours with great guides

The prices for "stand-alone" tickets for museums or monuments are generally neutral, neither more expensive nor cheaper than tickets sold directly on-site.
The big advantage is being able to book guided tours with professional guides who teach you a huge amount of things.

Super convenient

A very complete selection for museums, monuments, excursions, and guided tours. An app where you can download e-tickets, and the option to cancel in quite a few cases (and you are warned when it is not possible, beforehand).

Interesting guided tour of Berlin

We used this site to book a walking tour of Berlin in English with a small group. Everything went pretty well overall, and the guide and the locations were interesting. The anecdotes and the explanations about the history of this city with such an unusual past really make a big difference compared to exploring on your own. A small downside, we didn't always understand the explanations in English, and it would have been annoying for the rest of the group to always have the guide repeat things.
