Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
This website (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an independent visitor guide earning affiliate commission. This page explains how we handle your personal data.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links: tour and ticket links go to Viator or GetYourGuide, and room links go to Expedia through our partner Stay22. If you book through one of them we may earn a commission, and the price you pay is the same.
Important: Data Processing
Booking data (name, payment details, contact info) is collected and processed by Viator, GetYourGuide or Expedia, not by this website. When you make a booking, you give your information directly to that platform under its privacy policy.
Please review: Viator Privacy Policy and GetYourGuide Privacy Policy, and the privacy policies of Stay22 and Expedia on their own sites

- Server logs: Our hosting provider records standard access logs (IP address, requested page, browser type) for security and operational purposes.
- Email contact data: If you email us, we collect your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry.
We do not run analytics or advertising trackers of our own, and we do not collect, store, or process:

How We Use Your Information

Cookies
This website sets no cookies for purposes of its own. The GetYourGuide partner script it loads sets a session_id cookie on this domain, and GetYourGuide sets a visitor_id cookie on getyourguide.com; both serve GetYourGuide’s partner analytics and booking attribution. When you follow a link to Viator, Viator sets its own cookies on viator.com. Room links pass through stay22.com to Expedia, and some pages embed a Stay22 hotel map from stay22.com; Stay22 and Expedia set their own cookies on their own domains. The embedded booking widgets and maps, and any links you follow, are governed by each platform’s own cookie and privacy policies.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This may affect the booking widgets.
