A provider is shown on a place page only where its coverage of that place, its airport or its country is on record.

How to compare airport transfers

  • Note the meeting point the provider gives and the phone number or chat it lists for the day of travel.
  • Check whether tolls, parking and airport fees are inside the quoted price.
  • If you land outside daytime hours, read what the provider says about night pickups.

How to compare places to stay

  • The same room can be sold room-only or with meals, so read the board type.
  • Some rates charge your card at once and others at check-in; the rate details say which.
  • Read recent guest reviews on the site, and note the review date as well as the score.

How to compare tours and activities

  • Entry-only tickets and guided visits are sold side by side; make sure you are comparing the same thing.
  • Read what the price includes: entry fees, transport, meals and equipment are listed separately on most platforms.
  • See where the activity starts and whether pickup reaches the area you are staying in.

How to compare car rental

  • Read the deposit and payment-card requirements before booking.
  • Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.
  • Note the pickup location type: in the terminal, a shuttle ride away or in town.

Before you book

  • Whatever a summary says, the conditions at checkout govern your booking.
  • Note the billing currency; your bank may add a fee for a foreign-currency charge.
  • Keep the confirmation email and any voucher where you can open them without a connection.
  • Only the provider can change a booking, so contact it directly.
  • Recent reviews say more about current service than an overall score.

7: Viator, Chukka, GetYourGuide, Tiqets, WeGoTrip, Kkday and Klook. Each qualifies through an active link and verified coverage in Aurum's partner database.

Who delivers the activities on this page?

The operator named on each listing delivers it. Aurum links to the booking platforms and runs no tours.

Where do I see the price for travel services?

No. Aurum shows no prices for travel services. Each provider shows its own price for your dates on its own site, and that price is the one that applies.

What if I need to cancel a booking?

Contact the provider you booked with; its terms for your offer decide whether and until when a change is free. Aurum has no access to bookings.

When is the best time to compare travel services?

Providers release and price their own availability. Look once your travel dates are firm, and read how late each offer can be cancelled.

What is the Where line on each card?

It is the provider's verified coverage as recorded in Aurum's partner database: a country, named places or airports, or worldwide. It is not a promise that every address inside that area is served, so confirm yours with the provider.

A provider I expected is not listed. Why?

Either it is not one of Aurum's partners or its coverage here has not been recorded. You can still use the checks on this page with any provider.

Is this page advice?

No. It is information, not a recommendation. Your own needs decide, the provider confirms the specifics, and professional questions belong with a qualified adviser.

Why are these travel services providers shown and not others?

A provider is listed from Aurum's partner database when it has an active link and coverage on record for the page. Where no coverage is on record for a place, no provider is shown for it.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. Prices, availability and terms are always the provider's, shown on its own site.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Use the provider's own support channel for changes, because it holds the booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
