GetYourGuide review

The site sells tours and also works as an online travel agency, which is how tours and ota lists it. That means activities, guides and booked experiences rather than the whole transport chain. Travellers who also need flights, rail or hotels will be shopping on more than one site.

Yes, GetYourGuide has a mobile app for browsing tours and completing bookings away from a desk. The app is published under GetYourGuide Deutschland GmbH, the company that operates the site, so the listings and the terms line up with the browser version.

Bookings carry Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, the term that matters most for anyone travelling with children or flexible plans. After that window the terms of each individual tour apply, so read the listing rather than assuming one blanket rule, and raise questions through email, phone and help centre.

Help is offered by email, phone and help centre, which covers email, phone and a help centre. A call is therefore possible, not only an email thread, though a live chat line is not listed. Travellers with a booking on the day of the activity get the most from the phone option.

The company behind the site is GetYourGuide Deutschland GmbH, founded in 2009 and based in Germany. It sells tours through its own listings and its app, acting as an online travel agency rather than a carrier of transport.

MoMo's product list is flights, rail and bus, so transport and hotels sit next to tours in one basket. GetYourGuide is listed as tours and ota, which makes it the narrower choice for anyone building a whole trip in a single place.

12Go lists flights, rail and bus, adding ferry, transfers and rail passes alongside tours. GetYourGuide covers tours and ota, so crossing regions by ferry or holding a rail pass sits outside its range. WayAway lists flights, rail and bus and also covers cruises and packages.
