Affiliate disclosure

Last updated: July 2026

This website is funded through affiliate marketing. This page explains exactly what that means, in plain language, because you deserve to know how a site that recommends things to you makes its money.

What affiliate links are

Some links on this site — typically buttons that take you to book a tour, ticket, hotel, transfer or experience — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the provider pays this site a small commission. You never pay more because of this. The price you see is the same price you would get going to the provider directly.

Who we partner with

This site participates (or has applied to participate) in the affiliate programs of: GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, Tiqets, and Travelpayouts (through which hotel links may go to Booking.com and transfer links to providers such as Welcome Pickups). Affiliate links on this site are marked with the sponsored link attribute, as search engines require.

How it affects our recommendations

It doesn't, and here is the honest logic: this site's only long-term asset is your trust. A commission on one booking is worth far less than a reader who comes back and recommends the site to friends. So: we recommend what we would tell a friend to book, we say when the free or official option is the better choice, and we mark anything we have not yet verified in person. Where an article compares options, the comparison criteria are stated openly.

EU disclosure

In line with EU consumer-protection rules and advertising-transparency requirements, commercial relationships on this site are disclosed on this page and flagged in each article containing affiliate links (see the note at the top of those articles).
