How to connect to GetYourGuide?

Victor
  • Updated

The GetYourGuide integration allows you to offer tours, activities, and local experiences directly to your guests. Whether it’s a museum skip-the-line ticket or a food tour, you earn a commission on every booking generated through your links.

 

Steps to connect to GetYourGuide

  1. Sign up here to create your account
  2. Once logged in, locate your Partner ID. 
    1. You will find this by clicking your name in the top menu > Account Details. Example ID: XIBGHEV (Keep this handy!)

How it works

There are two ways to share these activities with your guests. You can use one or both, depending on your setup:

  1. Inbox: Message Automations: Activity recommendations sent as automatic links via Email/SMS/WhatsApp (e.g., "Check out things to do in Madrid").
    • 💡 Best for: All hosts, and the most effective way to drive revenue via Hostaway Message Automations.
  2. The Website Widget: A visual block on your direct booking site that shows activities near your rental.
    • 💡 Best for: Hosts with a direct site and those using the Hostaway Website Builder with properties in a specific city.

 

Option 1: Inbox: Message Automations

For use in Hostaway Message Automations.

  1. Generate the Link:
    • Log in to your GetYourGuide account.
    • Click Tools in the top menu > Links.
    • Select "Activities" or "City" to generate a specific URL (e.g., a search result for "Activities in London").
    • Copy the generated tracking link
    • OR copy and paste the following link, adding just your Partner ID and property location: 

https://www.getyourguide.com/s/?partner_id=YOUR_PARTNER_ID&q=PROPERTY_LOCATION_CITY 

  1. Add to Hostaway:
    • Go to Inbox > Automations.
    • Create a new automation or edit an existing one (Pre-arrival is best).
    • Paste the link using the template below.

 

Default Message Template

Copy and paste this directly into a Hostaway Message Automation. The variables have been updated to match Hostaway system fields.

The "Local Expert" Recommendation

  • When to send: When a new reservation comes or before check-in, based on arrival day/time
  • Trigger: Reservation or Guest Arrival (check-in)

Subject: Getting excited for your trip to {{CITY}}?

Default Message:

Hello {{GUEST_NAME}},

Your stay at {{LISTING_NAME}} is coming up soon, and we can’t wait to host you!

I know planning a trip can be overwhelming, so I wanted to share a few local tips to help you make the most of your time in {{CITY}}.

If you are looking to book tours, museum tickets, or unique local experiences, I highly recommend checking out this guide. It allows you to skip the lines at major attractions and discover hidden gems in the area:

Safe travels, and see you soon!

 

Option 2: Website Widget - Best Suitable for Hosts with a direct site

Step 1: Install the Global Script (One-Time Setup)

For the widget to function, your website needs to load the GetYourGuide JavaScript library. Copy and paste the following code into the <head> section of your website settings (often called "Header Scripts" or "Custom Code"):

 

HTML

<script async src="https://widget.getyourguide.com/dist/pa.umd.production.min.js"></script>

Note: You only need to add this script once per website, even if you plan to use multiple widgets.

 

Step 2: Place the Widget on Your Page

Copy the code below and paste it into the HTML Body of your page, exactly where you want the activities to appear.

 

HTML

<div data-gyg-href="https://widget.getyourguide.com/default/activities.frame" 

     data-gyg-locale-code="en-US" 

     data-gyg-widget="activities" 

     data-gyg-number-of-items="3" 

     data-gyg-cmp="hostaway" 

     data-gyg-partner-id="XIBGHEV" 

     data-gyg-q="Rome">

     <span>Powered by <a target="_blank" rel="sponsored" href="https://www.getyourguide.com/rome-l33/">GetYourGuide</a></span> </div>

 

Step 3: Customizing Your Widget

You can easily change what the widget displays by editing the text inside the quotation marks:

  • data-gyg-partner-id: Replace the example ID with the unique ID from your GYG account (e.g., XIBGHEV).
  • data-gyg-q: Replace the city with your property location. The format must be "City, Country" (e.g., "Madrid, Spain") or "City, State" for the US (e.g., "Miami, Florida").
  • data-gyg-locale-code: The default is en-US. You can change this to es-ES (Spanish), fr-FR (French), or other supported languages to match your site.
  • data-gyg-cmp: This is set to "hostaway" so you can easily track in your GYG analytics that these specific sales originated from your website.
  • data-gyg-number-of-items: Adjust this number (e.g., "3") to change how many activities are displayed in the widget.
