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.

I had two minor problems with my purchase. One was that the app kept crashing and I was unable to access my tickets. Luckily I did. Screen shots of the print option. The only other issue was that the catamaran tour could not find me listed for the tour. Eventually they did take me. Otherwise, no problems. I've used Get Your Guide in the past and have been completely satisfied with the service. I will continue to use this product. Good service; good options!

I have only used Get Your Guide once as recommended by a friend. It is easy to use and would definitely use it again. I have actually recommended it to a few friends already.

Long but very good
September 24, 2020

A really good and informative tour with a pleasant and knowledgeable guide ( Dennis I think) his knowledge of The Forum, Palletine Hill and the Collesseum was good although the audio system used to communicate to the tour group of 17 was poor quality and intermittent when the group were walking. Whole tour took close on 4 hours, it was hot it was tiring but was necessary to squeeze everything in

Easy to use app with efficient staff phoning to check if we wished to buy tickets for the castle. No pushy sales. Our trip was with Timberbush tours who were outstanding particularly our tour guide Chris. Would definitley recommend and use again.

GYG coordinates everything from questions to the local partner, to a refund on a tour that needs canceled. Great company that I will continue to use!

Excellent
September 16, 2020

Our guide was excellent he was very interesting and informative
You could tell that he really enjoyed informing you of the historical facts and was just not churning it out
We really enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend this tour
Would not have enjoyed it half as much or learned the correct facts without this tour
Highly recommended

Booked an Ouse Cruise through GetYourGuide.
The process was fairly straightforward, but I was unable to book the tickets I wanted.
Both my wife and I are old enough to qualify for Senior ticket prices, but the website would not allow us to book two senior tickets. One traveller had to be classed as an Adult. We can, (sort of), realise why this may be so (don't want two people who need carers booking without the requisite support), but as we are both able-bodied (at the moment), felt it was a bit of a swizz (Google "swizz" it if it's too old-world for you).
However we both understand that it is for the protection of both staff and other customers so weren't overly bothered.
Excellent tour and we will be using GetYourGuide again.

Get Your Guide is a very easy website to book attractions and activities on when going out of town. I booked activities for Las Vegas this past week and it was a smooth process. They provided all the necessary information including pick up location, time, description of activity, and duration in length. One of the activities I booked was unable to complete the obligations of the tour, they called Get Your Guide and informed them of this. In turn, Get Your Guide sent me an email and stated I would receive a full refund as discussed with the tour company. The refund was in my bank account very promptly. I was pleased with the experience and would book other tours with them in the future.

Nothing to worry about
September 16, 2020

We used get your guide multipul times for our trip in Krakow. I downloaded the app so I had all my bookings in one place with ref codes etc. It ment we had departure times and places at the tap of a button. When we were unable to locate our tour guide we had access to phone numbers via app. 100% will recommend to others
