GetYourGuide

GetYourGuide is the leading booking platform unlocking the world’s most unforgettable travel experiences for modern explorers.

GetYourGuide helps travelers discover a destination’s best activities and attractions and find joy in the authentic, extraordinary depth and spirit behind a pin on the map of the world.

GetYourGuide was founded in 2009 by Johannes Reck, Martin Sieber, Pascal Mathis, Tobias Rein and Tao Tao. The company is headquartered in Berlin, with 17 local offices globally (including the UK and USA).

 

GetYourGuide has built a marketplace that enables travellers to discover and book the best and most unique activities in any destination — including guided tours by local experts, culinary excursions, cooking and craft classes, skip-the-line tickets, as well as exclusive bucket-list experiences.

 

GetYourGuide currently offers more than 75,000 global experiences from 16,000 curated suppliers. The company has ancillary revenue partnerships with hundreds of airlines, hotels, transportation networks and online publishers, through which those businesses' customers can directly access its global inventory of tours & activities.

 

GetYourGuide is trusted by more than 60 million travelers from over 190 countries. The company recently launched Originals, a new collection of exclusive, one-of-a-kind experiences that are not bookable anywhere else. GYG also launched a ChatGPT integration that lets users initiate a search of GYG’s catalogue by way of natural-language queries.

 

GetYourGuide is backed by Battery Ventures, Temasek, Softbank, Spark Capital, KKR, Highland Europe, Swisscanto Invest, Blue Pool Capital, UniCredit, Searchlight Capital, BNP Paribas, Citi, KfW, and others. The company raised $194M (€182M) in a new round on Jun 01, 2023. The financing includes a $85M Series F and a $109M Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). This new investment brings GetYourGuide's total funding to $1.15B to date. The latest round pushed the company valuation to a $2B post-money.
