Get Your Guide is one of the hottest startups in the tours and activities sector, selling over 3,000 products. They look for direct operators who offer tours, attractions, activities, nightlife, cooking classes, shows & events, city cards, ground transportation, winter sports, and shore excursions.

Distribution network: Own website, partner websites, mobile apps and more. Partner websites include travel websites, online agents, hotel websites, and tourism boards. They also provide a “Book Now” button on your TripAdvisor profile.

The easiest way to get a “Book Now” button is to register on GetYourGuide and upload all tours. They do a periodic syncing with Tripadvisor to make sure that accounts that have both a Tripadvisor listing and an active account on GYG receive a “Book Now” button on their Tripadvisor listing.

Suppliers pay Get Your Guide an agreed commission per successful booking.
