GetYourGuide Reviews Summary

GetYourGuide's reputation is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from poor customer service and unreliable booking practices. Many customers report issues with cancellations, lack of refunds, and ineffective communication, leading to feelings of frustration and undervaluation. While some users appreciate the ease of booking and competitive pricing, these positives are overshadowed by widespread complaints regarding accountability and responsiveness. Overall, the feedback indicates a pressing need for GetYourGuide to enhance its support systems and address operational shortcomings to improve customer trust and satisfaction.

Disappointed
May 27, 2023

We bought 3 tickets to visit Disneyland Paris choosing date 29 May 2023 and after we purchased nonrefundable to use on May 29 we noticed that there is no availability for that day and the nearest available date was May 31, which we we're going back to the UK! Customer service didn't help at all and we paid extra to to buy tickets that we can't use! This company fools people buy misguiding them.

Leider sind sehr viele von uns vorab gebuchte Touren abgesagt worden. Die Erklärung in der App war Stromausfall. Vorort haben wir dann erfahren, dass es derzeit in Florenz zu wenig deutschsprachige Guides gibt. Das Storno war teilweise so kurzfristig, dass wir keine Alternativen buchen konnten. Die Führungen, die stattgefunden haben, waren in der gewohnten guten Qualität

Profesionalidad
May 21, 2023

Organización exquisita, cumpliendo con las horas y muy completa la información detallada de los tours
Destacar la profesionalidad de Bianca, que fue nuestra guía en el tour al Coliseo, Foro y Palatino, fue excepcional la visita gracias a ella.
Y el tema de descargar las entradas y la forma de pago, muy fácil de realizar, con la posibilidad de anulación casi hasta horas antes de realizar el tour.
Confianza plena. Recomendable 100%

We booked 2 tours through Get Your Guide - a Versailles guided walking tour (1.5 hours) and a Louvre guided walking tour (3 hours).

Both tours were outstanding. The booking/payment process was clear and easy, the meeting point was easy to find, the punctuality was excellent, and best of all, both our guides were thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and at the same time kept it light and enjoyable as well.

Our guide for the Louvre was Maxim - he was absolutely fantastic. He had very deep knowledge about the museum and its key exhibits. He probably just told us just a fraction of what he knew (he had clearly studied his material very, very deeply), and it was just the right balance between depth and breadth.

Our guide for Versailles (unfortunately I forgot his name) gave us the whole history and back story of the palace. It was a complete eye-opener and revealed an aspect of the French royal house that was completely new to me.

Get Your Guide is an aggregator, but they seem to have curated their offerings well, and partnered with some really good agencies. I would definitely use them again.

Don't even think about buying a ticket on get your guide. They are just fooling on you. It is supposed that you buy an individual ticket but they put you on a group.

Freundliche Führung weitab vom Massentourismus! Freundliche und nette Begleitung durch unseren Guide! Es wurde uns viel erklärt und vieles gezeigt, wo wir so NIE hingekommen wären! Die Fahrt ging durch enge Gassen und Gässchen, sowas habe ich noch nie erlebt! Einfach Großartig!
Wir waren begeistert! Diese Tour würde ich jederzeit wieder machen!

The tour guide for my fashion tour was 25 min late, and he was not very informative. He wasn't prepared at all.
The climb to the duomo was at 4:30, but I scheduled the 3:35 climb of the duomo.

Déception
May 15, 2023

Bonjour, je suis très déçue de la prestation car nous avons payé pour une excursion "tout compris" comprenant trente minutes en bateau vers Marken et la visite d"une maison traditionnelle. MAIS nous n avons pas eu le droit car l'agence ne nous avait pas fourni le bon bracelet. C 'est donc cher payé pour nous trois!

I purchased two tickets from GetYourGuide for a visit to Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Specifically, the tickets were for SKIP-THE-LINE: PETRONAS TOWERS E-TICKETS We arrived 40 minutes prior to our scheduled time. However, the staff could not scan the QR code provided by GetYourGuide. Thus, we need to buy replacement tickets. Also, we were told that there is no such thing as skipping the line. So, we paid for something that was worth nothing. I have repeatedly asked GetYourGuide to reimburse me, but they have not done so. The $65 loss is not going to change my life; it is going to change my attitude about GetYourGuide. Perhaps my one star is too generous?
