Are you a tour guide, a culinary or arts workshop host, the owner of a treetop adventure park, or something else entirely? Whatever activity you offer, you can list it on the well-known GetYourGuide platform in just a few clicks. Here is everything you need to know to get your business on GetYourGuide.
What you need to know about GetYourGuide
GetYourGuide is an activity resale platform that was launched in 2009 in Zürich, Switzerland. The site grew steadily before attracting strong investor interest. In 2012, GetYourGuide relocated to Berlin and completed its first funding round, raising $14 million.The company then embarked on major marketing campaigns, going as far as plastering its ads on London buses. At the same time, its activity catalog expanded remarkably, and now features more than 150,000 experiences across 12,000 cities. You will find guided tours, museum and show tickets, airport transfers anywhere in the world, as well as tickets for helicopter flights, hot-air balloon rides and sidecar tours. There is something for every taste and every budget!
In 2026, the site employs more than 700 people worldwide and is available in 37 languages, including French. It has also continued to raise funds: from 2009 to spring 2026, GetYourGuide completed a total of 26 funding rounds amounting to nearly €2 billion. At the start of 2026, the company was valued at around €2 billion.
GetYourGuide has firmly established itself as one of the must-use platforms for activities and guided tours. Its revenue passed the €1 billion mark in 2024, and in October 2025 the site proudly announced it had sold more than 10 million tickets in the first quarter of 2025 alone. Why not join them?
How do you list your activities on GetYourGuide?
GetYourGuide is keen to keep growing its catalog, and the site does everything it can to help activity suppliers sign up and list their offerings on the platform. The process is simple, fast and free. You will find that just a few minutes are enough to get your business live on GetYourGuide!You need to sign up through the dedicated supplier section. You will need to fill in a form with your contact details, a description of your activities and your cancellation policy. You will also need to provide proof that you hold the necessary insurance to run your activities.
Got a question? GetYourGuide provides a knowledge base . There you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Once your account has been validated by the GetYourGuide team, your activities will appear on the platform within just a few days. You will of course see all the information you entered, along with your photos and, very importantly, your name at the top of your listing. You will then need to manage your availability manually and constantly adjust the number of open spots, tour by tour and day by day. If you make a sale on your own website, you will need to reduce the available capacity on GetYourGuide accordingly. This is the most tedious and draining part of the day-to-day work. Fortunately, Explorates is here to help!
With Explorates, you can access theChannel Management tool for activities , built with GetYourGuide's approval. You can then manage availability and pricing centrally, across your own website and GetYourGuide at the same time. For example: a customer books 2 spots for a guided tour on July 25 on your website, and those 2 spots are instantly deducted from both your site and GetYourGuide simultaneously. The same applies to cancellations: availability is automatically updated and the spots go back on sale everywhere. You will no longer need to log in to GetYourGuide every time a sale or cancellation happens on your site!
How much does it cost to be on GetYourGuide?
GetYourGuide does not charge any fixed fees: it only takes a commission on your sales. The standard commission is 30% of the all-inclusive price. If you generate a high volume of sales, you may become eligible for a reduced commission, which can drop as low as 20%.Before getting started on GetYourGuide, it is therefore worth reviewing your pricing in advance to make sure your margins remain acceptable. One important point to be aware of: GetYourGuide does not impose a set price, and you are perfectly free to charge more on GetYourGuide than on your own website. This can allow you to offset the commission, partially or in full.
Here again, Explorates has you covered! You can configure an additional amount in Explorates to be applied to your GetYourGuide rates. For example, you could decide that your prices on GetYourGuide will be 15% higher than on your own site. The choice is yours!
And if you have any questions, the Explorates team is of course on hand to help.
