GetYourGuide
GetYourGuide is an online marketplace for booking tours, activities, and experiences in destinations worldwide for travelers exploring cities.
What is GetYourGuide?
GetYourGuide launched in 2009 with a focus on making it easy to book tours, activities, and attraction tickets online at a time when most travel experiences were still sold through hotel concierges, physical ticket booths, or low-quality local websites. The Berlin-based company grew into one of the largest travel experience marketplaces in the world, offering millions of bookable activities across thousands of destinations and reaching unicorn valuation status with backing from SoftBank. GetYourGuide also develops its own "Originals" experiences — exclusively designed and operated tours that differentiate the platform beyond simple marketplace aggregation.
The platform connects travelers with local operators through a marketplace model: operators list experiences, manage availability, and fulfill bookings, while GetYourGuide handles discovery, payment, and customer service. Integration with ticketing systems at major attractions — allowing GetYourGuide to offer skip-the-line access to places like the Colosseum or Sagrada Familia — adds a technology layer that requires ongoing maintenance as attraction systems change. The mobile app stores purchased tickets and QR codes, which some experiences require for entry.
Travelers face a particular vulnerability when GetYourGuide has platform problems: if ticket redemption systems are down on the day of an experience, digital tickets stored in the app may not display or scan correctly at the attraction entrance. Booking confirmation failures leave travelers uncertain about whether a reservation actually went through. Last-minute bookings close to an activity's start time are especially sensitive to payment processing delays. Operators managing their own listings through the GetYourGuide Extranet have a separate set of failure exposure if the operator portal goes down during availability management.
Outage.gg tracks GetYourGuide platform status with real-time community reports from travelers and experience operators. If bookings are not confirming, tickets are not loading, or the app is not working, the live status page shows current impact.
