GetYourGuide Audio tour of Edinburgh castle

I thought I was booking an audio tour of Edinburgh castle as their website stated highlights Edinburgh castle and Crown Jewels. Apparently this tour doesn’t include admission to the castle. How on earth can you see the Crown Jewels without admission. I was refused a refund.

This company should not be allowed to operate, as it is providing false information.

GetYourGuide False perception creation on ticket information and unhelpful service desk

I had received as online "Barcelona: Sagrada Familia Fast-Track Access Ticket" and 1 day valid. Believe me, it is not valid for one day! You have to enter the basilica at the time you choose as a starting point&time! Also the staff at Sangrada Familla said there is no original page and tickets are more expensive here. When we called the support line, we could not get any help. I passed the refund, no ticket change or anything that could help! In my limited time travel, my almost whole day was wasted with this problem! Everyone should be careful to buy tickets from the original and oficial page.

Thanks for the heads up. I used to think that GYG was great but then again I only would use them at the day of a last minute event and it was for small $$ amounts, never a high priced event. Until recently this year I decided to give GYG a try at a pre-event booking costing me over $350 for 4 people. It has been 4 months now and I still have no satisfactory resolution about my refund that was requested from the cancellation done within the GYG's policy and the merchants policy. Can we say Scam all the way. There are too many middlemen suppliers and customer service agents involved in the process, making any complaints or cancellations/refund request futile. Save yourself the headache. Order your event tickets through other sources or if overseas use a local tour guide that can be found at the hotels information or by googling the closest tour agency in town. I t did that and the 9 hour tour was actually cheaper than GYG and hassle free. GOOD LUCK out there.

GetYourGuide Tour

Booked a tour asked for a refund and Ofcourse was denied like everyone else below. Their excuse was the tour operator does not allow refunds but when I spoke to the tour operator they allow credit for 6 months after the missed tour but GetYourGuide had no policy in place for such event. They just give any answer to get away with keeping your money. No desire to fix the problem just run in circles with excuses.

Desired outcome: Refund money

GetYourGuide Tour wrongly booked by their app - refusal to refund money

We booked a trip in Rome via their app but we received the wrong confirmation, for another tour, which was in 30 mins. We were explaining for 2 hours to their support why it's the wrong tour and that we wanted them to change it to the initially booked. They didn't do that and now that it's passed, they refuse to refund our money. At the same time they keep explaining their 24 hours cancelation policy, but we didn't want to cancel the trip, just to get the trip we paid for, which we didn't because of the issue with their app.

Desired outcome: Refund money for wrongly booked trip by their app

GetYourGuide refused refund after cancellation tickets in France due to changed Covid requirements

I ordered 3 tickets (60 eu in total) at 8.30 h in the morning for a visit the same day. As we arrived at the venue's entrance gate, entrance was us prohibited; reason : France has changed again his restrictions and regulations about Covid. As we were not able to show documents at that time, I cancelled the tickets immediately before using them at the gate. And asked for refund. The spokeswoman told me that my file for refund was pending; they will call us back with the answer. I asked 'Answer? Why OMG? Just refund us by the Paypal account. They refuse. I can come back on a later date they said. I am absolutely not pleased with this because their website mentions : "Easy cancellation after modified plans prior 24h before the event? Contact us so we will restitute your tickets".
Yes; I just want my money back.

Desired outcome: full refund (60 eu)

GetYourGuide Two trips in Dubai

Booked two attractions in Dubai through get your guide.
Both attractions closed due to covid-19 so we were unable to visit both attractions.
Get your guide stated on their website we would get refunds, however, they are now refusing to do this and are only offering gift certificates.
We would have loved to attend the attractions that's why we booked them. This was out of our control. I'm sure get your guide had full refunds from the Burj Khalifa and the Atlantis aqua park. The fact they won't give us our money back is surely theft?

GetYourGuide tour kutna hora: gran excursion bohemia desde praga 5 horas

The complaint is about the fraudulent information you provide at the website because you show all the information in spanish and in the website it doesn't say the tour will be in english anywhere. Also in the reservation form you provide to the client it does not say the language of the tour is english. We demand a refund of our money since most of the group doesn't speak english at all and they will no be able to enjoy the tour.

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you in advance

GetYourGuide transfer from széchenyi spa full-day entrance pass back to hotel

Through Get your guide we purchased Szechenyi spa for 3 people. The
confirmation below confirms pick from your hotel and drop off at the same
place as pick up, however after the spa we were informed the pick up was
not included after the people at the help desk checking this.
This is extremely disappointing after booking this and it stating this.
I would like to know why this was stated in the confirmation email below
and would like a refund for the cost of the transfer along with the
inconvenience caused and request a review of the confirmations sent out in
future so no one else is left in this situation as we were.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards

GetYourGuide eiffel tower summit access and interactive experience

We booked the "Eiffel tower summit acces and interactive experience" because there was no way to book Eiffel tower acces in advance from the official Eiffel tower website (official tickets were supposed to be sold out). Prices for the summit acces were as follows:

- Official Eiffel tower website: 25.50€ (supposedly sold out)
- Getyourguide website: 49€

What we got from getyourguide was just a guy who guided us to the Eiffel tower ticket post, he buyed for us the tickets (at the price of 25.50€, they were not even reserved) and he guided us to the Eiffel tower second floor. Neither tablets nor headphones were provided as it was supposed.

So, please don't book the tickets in getyourguide. You will pay extra 23.50€ and you will not get any added value from that. You will have to wait to buy the tickets and have the "risk" of being sold out as you would do if you buy it by yourself over there.

If you are not able to book the tickets through eiffel tower website, buy it there directly and you will save 23.50€ per person.

GetYourGuide statue of liberty

Getyourguide fraudulenly refers to themselves as the official ticket retailer to the statue of liberty in their google ads. This is fraud. Statue Cruises is and they are in violation of google's terms. Get Your Guide charges between $5.00 to $8.00 fee per ticket and DO NOT disclose this. IN fact, they lie and say they charge no fees and if they did they would list them at checkout. MORE LIES. This company should be shutdown

GetYourGuide visit to the coliseum in rome

We went as the time required 12 noon to skip the queue as stated on the voucher but it was a 4 hr wait in 42 degree heat and was very annoyed as no one could stand in that heat so we didn't get in and wasted money in booking this attraction.It said that when we booked it we would skip the queue and didn't need to wait but feel that it was false information.

GetYourGuide full-day ethical elephant care tour from phuket to phang nga

We were picked up from hotel and was told that it was a long drive, but that it should take 1 and a half hours to 1 hour 45 minutes. However the journey there took us over 3 hours, and the journey back even longer. I understand there was traffic approaching Patong, but it would be better if we were told how long it would actually take.

As someone travelling to Thailand I did not look into how far away the adventure camp was, and there was nothing beforehand to suggest how far away this excursion was.

The guide also told us we would spend 4 hours with the elephants, but this was more like two.

Me and my boyfriend were paired with a large family (8 in total). It felt like we did not get the same experience that they did, as they were more dominant in the group, and therefore we felt like we could not interact as much.

We had really high hopes for this place, having been to an ethical elephant sanctuary the previous week, but we was really disappointed. When feeding the elephants I noticed that there were elephants trekking, the uniforms they they were wearing were the same as the people in the camp cafe...so I assume they were all part of the adventure camp.

Again, hugely disappointed and hope that you take my concerns seriously.

GetYourGuide harry potter warner brothers studio tour

Reservation number gyg51889200 for Dec 3 2018 Harry Potter family package tour with transfers from London. While there was some discussion about canceling this, GetYourGuide representatives absolutely refused to cancel or refund our 389$. Given no alternative, I called and said we did not want to cancel. I was assured we had the tickets. I was sent a voucher and a reminder o n December 2 of our upcoming tour. Only when we attempted to board the bus were we informed that our voucher was worthless and our tour had been cancelled by GetYourGuide leaving our family, especially our grandchildren, traumatized. I called GetYourGuide from the bus station. They didn't offer to correct the mistake. Nor could they:everyone knows these tickets get sold out which is why we reserved months ahead.They said it was a "misunderstanding". They did nothing for us but offer a refund and a worthless 15% discount on future tours with them. Their behavior was disgusting and ruined our trip.

The problem start because I current live in Dublin Ireland, but I'm Brazilian and the Immigration of Ireland have a delay to give me my IRP. I'm in process of renew my visa them I'm not allowed to go out of Ireland until I take this card if I do that I can have serious problems with Immigration.
That is the kind of thing is not in my hands. I call to office of GetYourGuide and explain the situation but they are not open to try help or understand the situation. They just say me they can not cancel or do anything. I call today because just today I had a booked in Immigration Office to ask what is wrong and they explain me about the delay and I need to wait, and the tour is in 5 days! I think if the GetYourGuide want help they can but they just doesn't matter.
I'm very upset with the situation it's a thing I was looking forward since I was 8 years old and now I just feel bad. Is like if was not enough had all this headache with the delay of delivery of my documents I waste 90€ with a Company who doesn't care with costumers!

GetYourGuide booking#gyg44010924

Hi,
I would like to fail a complaint regards with the tour that I participated this morning.

Our tour guide, Ms. Myra is an irresponsible person. During our visit to spice souk, we've been left behind by our tour guide. Me and my friend were actually waited at meeting point earlier that time given and we're standing beside tour guide. While waiting group members to be there to move to next destination, we walked to the stall just in front of us (am sure tour guide aware of this) to have a look to scarves.

After checking the price, we decided not to purchase and tour guide has had disappeared.

We waited at meeting point (at spice souk) for about 1 hour and expecting our tour guide to come and get us back to the group. Unfortunately, this wasn't happened. How can tour guide left behind customer without counting number of headcount and moved to next attraction? Don't she realize there are 2 missing?

Later than, I called total of 5 times (2 times no pick up, 2 times responded busy and last she picked the call. She wasn't admitted was her fault and pushed the mistaken by claiming we're not following her instruction. In additionally, we've been required to take cab/taxi by our own to Dubai frame while our belongings are in the vehicle.

I'm here writing a complaint and do expect some actions/investigation from Get Your Guide company.

Thank you
Chia Ling

GetYourGuide early access to statue of liberty and ellis island

Having been diverted due to an event around the battery park area and road closures on the day of our tour . I tried to call the emergency number several times to no avail. After arriving at the meeting point finally, there was no guide there to meet us . I'm sure you can imagine our disappointment and frustration. I tried to recontact the emergency number. After finally getting through 45 minutes later I was told they were unable to fit us on another tour that day and my only solution was for them to put us on a tour the following day and that I would have to pay 18 dollars on top for each of us. Having had to pay 25 dollars on the cab already to get there and having phoned from a uk mobile as well for a call that didnt really solve anything and took ages to finally get through to an agent to talk to.
As we were traveling the next day back to the Uk it was a huge disappointment for myself and my sister to miss out on the tour.
We ended up having to purchase other tickets on top.
I feel that the communication was terrible there was no direct contact number to get in touch with the tour guide to let them know we were held up due to the road closures. As it was a main event surely the tour guide should have been aware that it was going on that weekend. It was a huge dissappointment and expense on top of what I had already payed. The agent I spoke to was not really able to help me other then to give me a German contact number. Having spent so long on the previous phone call the last thing I wanted to do was spend even more time on hold to no solution.
I'm sure you can imagine my frustration the sole reason I pre booked with you was to alleviate any stress on our holiday and to make things easier and more organized. Frankly it was a huge let down and we were just left standing. I feel it only fair that I am fully reimbursed for the tour I purchased with you as it was inconventient frustrating and stressful trying to get in touch with anyone that day. I hope that you will restore my faith in your company by this gesture of goodwill.

Regards

Chrisoulla Neocleous

GetYourGuide Unable to locate guide at vatican / sistine chapel

Hello there,

I booked a tour for Friday the 28th of September from 12 until 2pm Voucher number GYG47774846 (3 ADULTS) € 99.00. When we arrived in good time as indicated, we were unable to locate our guide. The tour had left without us. I had brought my daughter and my elderly mother all the way to the location, in really hot temperatures only to discover the tour had left without us. I felt very disappointed by this outcome. I work hard, don't make a great deal of money but I wanted to take my family to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. I am wondering is there any way to claim back the 99 euro?
