GetYourGuide

Seed Round in 2012
GetYourGuide is an online platform that facilitates the booking of tours, attractions, and activities around the globe. Founded in 2009 by Jochen Mattes, Johannes Reck, Martin Sieber, Pascal Mathis, Tao Tao, and Tobias Rein, the platform provides a wide range of services, including tickets to tourist attractions, cooking classes, and various experiential activities. By acting as an intermediary, GetYourGuide allows customers to book these experiences at no direct cost to them; instead, tour providers pay a percentage of their revenue to the platform. This model not only streamlines the booking process for travelers but also includes a customer review system that helps users assess the quality of tour providers. To maintain high standards, GetYourGuide removes consistently poorly reviewed providers from its offerings, ensuring a reliable selection of experiences for users.
