GetYourGuide. Berlin, Germany, was founded in 2009 by Johannes Reck, Martin Sieber, Tao Tao, and Tobias Rein. Johannes Reck notes that GYG remains very committed to the idea of selling human-led group tours. That means: no self-guided tours, no virtual tours, and no generative-AI-created tours are on its roadmap today. “Our mission just doesn’t happen if you are glued to your smartphone,” he said. He speaks not just from opinion but experience: “We’ve tested so many alternative formats, including virtual experiences,” Johannes Reck said.
