GetYourGuide‘s mission is to make travel accessible to everyone. In 2009, four friends from high school—Johannes, Tao, Martin, and Tobias—had an argument that led to the conception of an innovative travel agency. John spent his first day in Beijing wandering around the city aimlessly. All of their goals for the trip were realised after Tao showed there to act as a local guide. The company’s founders relocated back to Zurich with the intention of revolutionising the tourism industry. How so, exactly? A hub for the world’s finest experiences and pursuits.
