I like other reviewers was abandoned after the proposed start time of my booked tour. The local supplier claimed to have cancelled the tour one week earlier, but GetYourGuide apparently knew nothing of this and we were left to sort out our own day while we wait for a refund. Won't be using them again, and I suggest you find an alternative supplier.

Run, don't give this site the time of day.
July 20, 2022

We purchased Aquarium tickets through GetYourGuide.com last summer.
Unfortunately one of my kids tested positive for Covid and we were unable to go. I called customer service to cancel the same day and was told I can get a refund. This was less than 24 hours of my purchase.

The customer service people were so friendly and SO willing to help, but in the end nothing was ever refunded.
I called this summer to see if I could get updated tickets and use them this year, they said sure, "we will send this to our resolution department, it should take about 5 days.
I had called in June to use the tickets mid July. I've heard nothing…8 calls and Emails with the same response of "Please send us your email and confirmation # so we can look at your case". I've complied every time.
Still zero resolution or communication from a human.
I'm out $160.

A Fraud!
October 2, 2020

I feel robbed and extremely sad that there're still companies like Get Your Guide which unprofessionally insult the consumer's trust.
I purchased a regular ticket to visit Acropolis, which resulted validated three days before. At the entrance, the security informed me that this unpleasant inconvenience happens often times when tickets get bought through Get Your Guide.

I called them five times and always received the same vague explanations. One time I've also trusted them when the customer service person promised me to send a new (hopefully valid) ticket. I was relieved... until I realized she sent me back the same invalid one, with the same booking reference and details. A complete mockery!

I booked a special 3 hour semi-private 3 hour luxury limousine tour as a surprise for my partner. No one turned up at meeting point and telephone numbers were unobtainable. I paid £168.00 for the two of us and was devastated. Will take it much further when we get home!

The best choice if you want to enjoy your trip and sightseeing without concerning about staying in line for tickets, entrance and so on.
The price offers are excellent and only few clicks away. You can book while having a coffe or drink.
Looking forward our next trip and colaboration.

Liars, terrible customer service. Their app gives random conflicting meeting points so you miss the pickup spot. Customer service does not refund and sends you a copy/paste email no matter what you say. We lost over 100 euro with their service.

Booked a tour for our family at Camp Nou in Barcelona for over 500 euro. Date was changed at time of booking to a week prior to our arrival. Had horrible time contacting an attendant to address booking error, but finally found a working phone number. We spoke with 2 different attendants that told us they would call the venue to reschedule, but they never did. I received an email an hour after speaking with the attendant more or less telling us too bad ( and camp Nou has not even opened for the day). They scammed us out of 500 euro. Don't use this company. Book directly with the venue. This is a terrible company.

Used twice
June 9, 2021

We used Get Your Guide for 2 tours during our recent vacation. We were very satisfied with both although we did not get to see everything we thought we would on our helicopter tour of Zion. That is not their fault but the advertising was a tad misleading. They should state that no flights can go directly over the park.
However the pilot was fantastic and made the experience memorable!

Booked a tour in Italy in April 2023. Our guide didn't show, we called, texted, emailed and got no response. They blamed it on us, saying we were late even though we have time stamped phone calls and text messages asking where the guide is. We still haven't received a refund. During the same trip we booked 4 Viator tours...all excellent. Stay away from Get Your Guide!

Love get your guide!
October 18, 2023

I can't say enough good things about get your guide. They really came through on all my excursions and transfers booked through them. There customer service line is excellent and were always very helpful and understanding.
I accidentally booked an excursion on wrong date my fault they were able to cancel (last minute) and gave me a credit for future booking. They didn't have to do anything but they were really nice and made it work being that it was so last minute they couldn't book a other day during my stay. I appreciate all there help and patience. Travel can sometimes be hectic and they are really there for you.

We recently visited Charleston SC, and because of the extensive history, I decided to book some tours to learn more while seeing sites. This is the first time I have actually used Get Your Guide and it was extremely easy. We booked the Magnolia plantation and historic city tour, which made for a very long day, but glad we did both. We also booked ft sumter, and a haunted carriage ride tour. The staff were super knowledgeable about the history and also shared knowledge of things to see present day. If you are going to visit a city, I would recommend checking out Get your guide for tours they offer, especially if it is a city you want to know more about like the history.

Read before using GYG
September 24, 2023

1. Inexcusably long hold times for online chat support (see photo—not sure if support ever answered)
2. Phone support is outsourced, and email follow ups are not always sent when there is an issue
3. GYG usually does not have actual relationships with the provider companies and cannot get in touch with them in a timely fashion despite bookings being time-sensitive—in other words, if something goes awry, they are unreliable when it comes to assistance. They will state that they are sending an email to the provider, but you will likely have to keep calling for updates. The time to get a substantive response to sent emails is very poor.
4. Will state that provider will not refund if you miss receiving a service, but neither will GYG refund or give you credit for their additional booking costs (sometimes as high as 40 Euros)
5. Most importantly—use GYG to look up providers and contact the providers directly to avoid the GYG extra fees and/or schedule change headaches

Great product.

I love Get Your Guide. They have a great app which is beautiful and easy to navigate. I always know I can easily find my vouchers when I need them. It is also very to make an order after reviewing tbe many options they offer throughout the world.

While on vacation, booking my tours via the Get Your Guide site was easy and efficient. My girls and I had amazing experiences and knowledgeable tour guides. A verification email was sent as well as reminder texts and follow ups on our tours. Will definitely use again!

A scam
February 19, 2024

We booked a tour of the Alhambra in Malaga, Spain and when we received the confirmation it indicated that our tour was in French. I love the language but we don't speak it or understand it enough to have a tour, so we immediately contacted the site through their chat option and they told us we can only receive 50% refund. The request we made when booking the tour was for an english tour. This must surely be against the law, but we simply didn't have the time to deal with hours on the chat line and slow responses so we decided to forgo the $80. I do not recommend their services and we surely will never do business with them again.

Great trip
September 14, 2023

Very easy booking process, and ticketless through mobile or app. Map and joining instructions clear and helpful.
Cocktails were good and service quite quick, good selection to choose from.
I've used Get your guide before in other countries and not been disappointed either with value, trip or communications.

Great evening and I recommend this tour.

Careful with them!
September 27, 2023

This company cares about profits first and people second - be careful with them. We were five minutes late for a skip the line tour of the Louvre in Paris. We found our guide and tried to join the tour. We were advised we could not join because we didn't have tickets. All we had were vouchers. My inference is that they actually sold the spots to others who had waited on standby. I wrote them after requesting a refund and they pointed to the fine print that you have to arrive early. What frustrates me is that I think they must have actually resold our tickets - otherwise I don't understand why we weren't allowed to join the tour. Suggest you proceed with caution before scheduling tours with this company!

Buyer Beware - Horrible Service
April 12, 2022

We booked a tour in Edinburgh Scotland with this company and have been horribly disappointed. The pandemic hit and we rescheduled everything from out flights, other tours, rental cars, hotels etc. and every other company was most accommodating except Get Your Guide. Their communication was terrible and when promised they would allow us to reschedule they then cancelled the tour and refused to give us a refund. We explained international travel was impossible for the original booking and reminded them that we were told we could reschedule only to be told they would not refund us even though they canceled the tour. We would not recommend this company to anyone! Shame on you Get Your Guide! You've lost us as customers and we will be sharing with all of our blog followers. BEWARE! Do NOT use this service!
