Our take

Booking holidays and travel experiences can be time-consuming, expensive and stressful. GetYourGuide solves this problem by making it easier for customers to book and organize tours and activities.

While there are many tour providers and travel agents out there, the area of travel experiences has remained largely untouched by the digital revolution. GetYourGuide has successfully built an attractive and easy-to-use online marketplace that offers users an alternative to out-dated booking sites. The company has managed to thrive despite a significant downturn in the tourism industry.

GetYourGuide's impressive funding up to Series F is a testament to its solid footing in the travel market. What's more, a partnership with travel giant Expedia means that GetYourGuide is set to expand into the US market, which could prove to be a game-changer for the company.

Company values

  • We use curiosity as our compass: Our customers’ needs guide us on each and every journey. We serve them with an open mind and the intention to understand before being understood
  • We choose growth over comfort: We embrace challenges and change as opportunities for personal growth. We grow by perpetually stepping outside our comfort zone, and turning uncertainty into clarity
  • We build bridges, not islands: We value effective collaboration as the key to achievement. We don’t build empires; we forge strong bonds and get the right minds involved at the right time to align our efforts
  • We navigate with agility: We move at speed, adapt on the fly, and turn curveballs into wins. Our optimism and flexibility keep our competitive edge sharp
  • We aim high and follow through: We lead by example and drive what we own with conviction, focus, and a can-do attitude. We set ambitious goals, celebrate bold choices and empower each other to achieve excellence
  • We act customer-first, not me-first: We give trust upfront and work hard to maintain it with ownership and accountability. We put our long-term commitment to each other and our customers before short-term gain
