GetYourGuide

We are an online marketplace for booking travel experiences, tours, and attractions globally. Founded in 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, we launched our website in 2010. Travelers can find activities in over 12,000 cities, including tours from local experts, access to attractions, and immersive experiences through our Originals by GetYourGuide offering.

We have sold over 200 million tickets and work with more than 35,000 partners. We specialize in online travel, tourism, e-commerce, and technology. We’ve raised $883 million, including a $484 million Series E round in 2019 that made us a unicorn, and a $194 million Series F round in 2023. Our headquarters are in Berlin, and we have 15 other offices worldwide, including Rome, Zurich, and Bangkok.

Our mission is to help people discover unforgettable travel experiences and reconnect with their sense of wonder. We operate with determination, humility, and a passion for creating extraordinary experiences.

GetYourGuide has over 850 team members from more than 75 nationalities across 17 offices. It operates a hybrid work model, with three in-office days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) and two optional remote days. Employees can also work from anywhere for 30 days per year.

Teams are cross-functional mission units, including engineers, designers, data scientists, and product managers. The work environment values collaboration, experimentation, data-driven decisions, and a customer-centric approach. The culture encourages challenging assumptions, creativity, and continuous innovation. Professional development is supported through mentorship programs, learning budgets, and opportunities for career shifts.

We offer a range of employee benefits, including a monthly transport allowance (Deutschland ticket) and bonuses for successful referrals. Employees receive virtual shares and we contribute to personal pension plans.

Health and wellness benefits include a discounted Urban Sports Club membership, mental wellbeing services from nilo.health, an in-house gym with fitness classes, and annual flu shots.

For professional growth, we offer a 1,000€ yearly budget for courses and training, language course reimbursement, regular meetups, workshops, hackdays, and a mentorship program. Employees also get access to AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, 10 days of paid educational leave every two years, and an annual personal growth budget.

Other perks include 30 days per year for remote work, a 20% discount on GetYourGuide activities for friends and family, 25 vacation days (plus one for each additional year, up to 28), weekly catered brunches, lunches, and snacks, extra days off when winter holidays fall on weekends, annual GetYourGuide Summits, and partner discounts. Our hybrid approach means three days in the office (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) and two optional days working from home. We also have quarterly team events and yearly company-wide gatherings.
