About TourScanner

TourScanner is your go-to platform for discovering and comparing tours and activities worldwide. We aim to make travel planning easy and enjoyable by providing a comprehensive selection of options from various providers. Explore, compare, and book your next adventure with us.

What is TourScanner?

TourScanner is a price comparison platform specifically for tours and travel activities. By using the TourScanner search engine, you can compare prices from over 30 different Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), ensuring you find the best deal for you.

Why use TourScanner?

Finding and booking tours and travel activities can often be a frustrating and time-consuming process, leaving you uncertain if you’re even getting the best deal. By using TourScanner, though, you will save time and ensure that you are paying the lowest price available on the web.

How does TourScanner work?

TourScanner simplifies your search for the perfect tour or travel experience by comparing prices from over 30 booking websites and ensuring you get the best deal. The price you see on our platform is exactly what you pay, with no hidden costs.

When you select a tour or activity, we provide a comprehensive list of options from our partner Online Travel Agents (OTAs). You can choose the OTA you prefer for booking, based on price, convenience, or any other factor that matters to you. TourScanner is designed to make your experience as flexible and user-friendly as possible.

In return for directing you to them, our partner provides us with a small referral fee. This doesn't lead to any markup on the prices you see – you're getting the exact same rates as if you went directly to the agents.

What can I find on TourScanner?

Through TourScanner, you can search almost any tour, attraction or travel experience, from snorkeling adventures in Bali and tickets for the Vatican Museums to helicopter tours over Las Vegas and guided excursions through the Loire Valley Castles!

Who is behind TourScanner?

TourScanner is brought to life by a diverse team of over 30 people representing over 10 nationalities from around the globe, all united by a shared passion for travel. To learn more about our journey and the people who make it happen, you can read about us and our mission statement.

How do I contact TourScanner?

For inquiries related to bookings, you should contact the online travel agency through which you made the reservation, as we do not directly manage bookings on our site. You can find the contact information of our partners on our contact us page.

Bookings and payments

Is TourScanner free to use?

Yes, TourScanner is totally free to use - there are no hidden strings, surcharges or subscriptions required. The prices shown on TourScanner are the same displayed on the partner websites.

When you make a payment for a tour or activity you found on TourScanner, the processing is handled by our partner Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), who act as the merchant of record. This means that the actual booking and payment transaction takes place directly with the OTA. For selected partners, we host a booking page on the TourScanner website to streamline your experience, but the booking itself, including payment processing, is still directly managed by the OTA.This ensures that your transactions are secure and handled by experienced professionals in the travel industry.
