GetYourGuide: Travel & Tickets

Experiences for your next trip

View

Super-smart travel companion GetYourGuide knows the best places to go, the best times to go there and the information you need to make your trip terrific. It opens with one simple question: where are you going? Choose a destination and date to discover what’s on, and to book everything from airport transfers to guided tours.

What we love: Rock-star access. If you’re planning to visit the Vatican on your next trip to Rome, for example, the app often has discounted tickets for various guided tours up for grabs. Many of these tickets don’t just get you in, they also enable you to bypass a queue that can be hours long.

Quick tip: Looking for foodie hotspots in New York or a Harry Potter tour in London? Handy filters can help you find what you’re after. Head to the Discover tab, type in your destination then scroll down to the “All activities” section. Tap the Filters icon to narrow your search, selecting from options such as Time, Destinations, Categories and Languages.

Meet the creator: GetYourGuide was conceived in 2007 by Johannes Reck and Tao Tao. After Reck landed in Beijing a day earlier than Tao, he spent the time wandering the streets, not knowing where to go. It was only after Tao arrived that Reck was finally able to experience the best parts of the city, with the help of his friend’s local knowledge.
