📌 What This Actor Does

This Apify Actor is a GetYourGuide reviews scraper. Give it a GetYourGuide activity — as a full URL or just the numeric activity ID — and it collects that activity's public traveler reviews as structured data.

For every review you get the star rating, the full text, the reviewer's display name and country (name and ISO country code), a machine-readable ISO date, the traveler type (couple, family, friends, solo), whether the review came from a verified booking, which language it was originally written in, whether GetYourGuide translated it, and any photos the traveler uploaded — with every CDN image size.

For every activity you also get the average rating, a full star-by-star breakdown, and counters that tell you how complete the run was.

No programming is required. If you can copy a link, you can run this Actor.

✨ Key Features

• Two ways to enter an activity — paste the full GetYourGuide URL, or just the numeric activity ID. Both work; mix them freely.
• Bulk scraping — queue as many activities as you like in a single run.
• Completeness passes — GetYourGuide serves different visitors different subsets of the same review list. This Actor runs several passes with fresh visitor identities and merges the results, then reports what each pass saw so you can verify completeness instead of hoping.
• Real dates, not display strings — every review carries an ISO 8601 date (2026-09-07) plus the full timestamp, so sorting and filtering just work.
• Translation-aware — each review records the language it was served in, the language the traveler actually wrote in, and whether GetYourGuide machine-translated it. Useful when you need authentic original-language text.
• Reviewer context — country name, ISO country code, and traveler type (couple, family with young kids, family with older kids, friends, solo).
• Verified bookings flagged — know which reviews came from a confirmed booking.
• Review photos included — every traveler photo with all eight CDN sizes (thumb through desktop), so you can pick the resolution you need without rewriting URLs.
• Computed stats — average rating and a star-by-star breakdown, calculated from the data you actually received.
• Date filter and caps — keep only reviews newer than a date, or cap the total.
• Consistent schema — every review has the same 18 fields in the same order, so CSV and Excel exports line up and nothing shifts between runs.

🧠 Why This Actor Is Different

Most GetYourGuide scraping attempts quietly return a fraction of the reviews. This one was built around three failure modes that were measured, not guessed:

1. It doesn't trust GetYourGuide's "load more" cursor. The site's own pagination cursor is missing 7 times out of 12 even when more reviews exist. Following it truncated a 110-review activity to 20. This Actor paginates by offset itself and only stops when two consecutive pages return nothing new.

2. It detects failures that arrive as successes. GetYourGuide's API can return an error block with HTTP status 200. A naive scraper reads that as "end of list" and stops early. This Actor recognises the marker and retries — and uses the one page size (20) measured to produce a 0% error rate. At page size 50, half the requests fail this way.

3. It defeats the A/B split on the review list. GetYourGuide buckets its review list by visitor identity, and the bucket is sticky: one identity returned 98 reviews where another returned 110 for the same activity. Scrape once and you may never know you're missing 12 reviews. This Actor runs multiple passes with fresh identities, merges them, and publishes each pass's count in the output.

Plus: no headless browser anywhere in the pipeline. That makes runs fast and cheap, and removes the flakiness that browser-based scrapers carry.

⚙️ Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	What it does
startUrls	array	required	GetYourGuide activity URLs, or bare numeric activity IDs
maxReviews	integer	0	Cap on total reviews across all URLs. 0 = no limit
targetDate	string	—	Keep only reviews newer than this ISO date (e.g. 2025-01-01)
language	string	en-US	Participant language sent to GetYourGuide
currency	string	EUR	Required by the API; does not affect review content
visitorIdAttempts	integer	2	How many completeness passes to run (1–5)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy	Optional. The API answers direct requests too

Choosing activities

Any of these work:

https://www.getyourguide.com/toulouse-l288/toulouse-cite-de-l-espace-e-codes-t672631/
https://www.getyourguide.com/paris-l16/eiffel-tower-summit-t12345/?ref=search
672631

The activity ID is the number after -t in the URL. Query strings and tracking parameters are stripped automatically.

Language options

en-US (default), fr-FR, de-DE, es-ES, it-IT, nl-NL, pt-PT.

This controls which language GetYourGuide serves reviews in — some come back machine-translated, others in their original language. It does not change how many reviews you get. Every review tells you which happened via its language, originalLanguage and isTranslated fields.

Currency options

EUR (default), USD, GBP, CHF, MAD. The API rejects requests without a currency, but it has no effect on review content — leave it alone unless you have a reason.

💡 Tips for best results

• Leave visitorIdAttempts at 2. Two passes covered the full review set in every test. Raise it to 3–5 only when bucketSizes in your output shows the passes disagreeing a lot.
• Turn the proxy off for short runs. GetYourGuide's API answers direct requests and showed no rate limiting across sustained runs, so on a handful of activities a proxy is cost without benefit — and it will not fix a 403 (see the FAQ). Keep it on when you queue a lot of activities in one go.
• targetDate filters, it doesn't speed things up. GetYourGuide returns reviews in a non-deterministic order, so the Actor completes the walk and then filters. Same for maxReviews.
• Queue many activities in one run rather than one run per activity — it's fewer runs to manage and the same total work.

stoppedBy	string	"targetDate", "maxReviews", or null if nothing was cut
requestsMade	number	API requests used — useful for cost tracking
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp of the run
reviews	array	The reviews, newest first

Review fields

Field	Type	Description
reviewId	number	Stable GetYourGuide review ID — use it to deduplicate across runs
rating	number	1–5 stars
author	string	Display name. Anonymous reviewers appear as "GetYourGuide traveler"
authorCountry	string	Country name as displayed, e.g. "Italy"

▶️ How to Use

Step 1 — Open the Actor

Click Try for free on the Apify Store page. You'll land in the Apify Console.

Step 2 — Add your activities

Paste one or more GetYourGuide activity URLs into Activity URLs. A bare numeric ID works too.

Step 3 — Set your filters (optional)

Set Only reviews newer than for a date cutoff, or Max reviews to cap the total. Skip both to get everything.

Step 4 — Run it

Press Start. A typical activity finishes in under 10 seconds.

Step 5 — Download

Open the Dataset tab and export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML — or pull it straight from the Apify API.

Common workflows

Track new reviews daily. Schedule the Actor to run each morning with targetDate set to yesterday. Deduplicate on reviewId.

Benchmark competitors. Put your activity and 5–10 competing activities in one run, then compare averageRating and ratingBreakdown across the dataset records.

Build a multilingual sentiment dataset. Run with maxReviews: 0, then filter to isTranslated: false so you only train on text travelers actually wrote.

Pull traveler photos. Filter to reviews where images is non-empty and grab the url of each — every CDN size is included.

📈 Use Cases

1. Competitive analysis for tour operators

Scrape every competing activity in your city and compare ratings, complaint themes, and traveler types. Find the gap your experience can fill — and the recurring complaint that's costing a competitor bookings.

2. Review monitoring and quality alerts

Run daily with a date cutoff and pipe new reviews into Slack or a spreadsheet. A run of 2-star reviews mentioning the same guide shows up in hours, not at the end of the season.

3. Sentiment analysis and AI training data

Reviews arrive with a numeric rating, the original language, and a translation flag — a labelled, multilingual dataset that needs almost no cleaning before it goes into a model.

4. Travel market research

Aggregate reviews across a destination to measure seasonality, which traveler types book which experiences, and how satisfaction differs by nationality using countryCode.

5. Marketing content and social proof

Filter to 5-star reviews with photos and verifiedBooking: true to source authentic testimonials and user-generated images for landing pages and ads.

6. Due diligence on suppliers

Marketplaces and investors can measure a supplier's real review volume, trend, and rating distribution — including how many reviews are text-free ratings.

🛠️ Advanced Tips

Performance and throughput

Each completeness pass costs about 8 API requests per 100 reviews. A full 2-pass run on a ~100-review activity takes roughly 6–7 seconds end to end. Activities are processed sequentially, so 10 activities ≈ 10× that.

Tuning completeness vs. speed

visitorIdAttempts is the only real throughput lever:

• 1 pass — fastest, half the requests, but may under-collect
• 2 passes (default) — covered the full set in every test
• 3–5 passes — extra redundancy for high-value activities

Check bucketSizes in your output. If the numbers are identical, the extra passes found nothing new and you can drop to 1 for that activity. If they differ, keep them.

Keeping costs down

• Turn the proxy off on small runs — the API answers direct requests, so it's cost with no benefit there.
• Use visitorIdAttempts: 1 for quick exploratory runs, then re-run important activities with 2.
• Use targetDate on scheduled runs so you store only what's new (it won't shorten the run, but it keeps your dataset clean).

Proxy usage

Apify Proxy is prefilled, but optional — GetYourGuide's API answers direct requests and showed no rate limiting in testing. When it's on, the Actor takes a fresh proxy session for each retry attempt and logs the session ID so you can trace a failure. A proxy will not fix a 403 — see the FAQ.

Scaling to many activities

Queue activities in a single run rather than launching many runs. For very large jobs, split them across several scheduled runs so each run's dataset stays easy to export.

Automation

Use Apify's scheduler for recurring runs, and webhooks to push finished datasets into your warehouse, Google Sheets, or a Slack channel.

❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting

Do I need a GetYourGuide account or API key? No. The Actor uses publicly available review data. No login, no key, no cookies.

Do I need a proxy? No. GetYourGuide's review API answers direct requests and showed no rate limiting across sustained testing. Apify Proxy is switched on by default because it keeps a long run from hammering one IP; clear it and the Actor runs direct.

Why did two runs of the same activity return slightly different review counts? GetYourGuide splits its review list by visitor identity — one identity sees 98 reviews, another sees 110 for the same activity. That's the site's behaviour, not a bug. The Actor works around it by running multiple passes and merging them; bucketSizes shows you exactly what each pass saw. Raise visitorIdAttempts to 3 or more for maximum coverage.

Why do many reviews have no text? Roughly half of GetYourGuide reviews are star ratings with no written review. Those come back with text: null. The rating, date, country and traveler type are still there.

Why doesn't maxReviews make my run faster? GetYourGuide returns reviews in a non-deterministic order and publishes no total count, so the Actor completes the walk and then keeps the newest N. Stopping early would drop newer reviews that happen to sort later. The same applies to targetDate.

Can I scrape all activities from a supplier, a city, or a search page? Not yet — this Actor takes activity URLs or IDs. Collect the URLs you care about and queue them in one run.

Can I get the activity's name, price, or availability? No. This Actor covers reviews. GetYourGuide's review API returns only the activity ID alongside the reviews, and the Actor deliberately never loads the product page.

I got a 403 error. Should I turn on a proxy? No — a 403 here means GetYourGuide changed the shape it expects from a request, not that your IP is blocked. Rotating IPs won't help. Report it (see Support) and it'll be fixed in the Actor.

I got a 404 / "activity does not exist". The activity ID wasn't found. Check the number after -t in your URL — GetYourGuide retires activities, and retired ones stop returning reviews.

How far back do reviews go? As far back as GetYourGuide publishes for that activity. Reviews come newest first.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler, and set targetDate to your last run date to keep each dataset focused on new reviews.

Is the data legal to use? The Actor collects publicly visible review data. How you store and use it — especially personal data such as reviewer names — is your responsibility under GDPR and GetYourGuide's terms. When in doubt, aggregate, and drop the author field.
