Sometimes a single e-mail can remind you of the purpose of your work. 😍 Last week, Enno Lenze of The Story of Berlin, one of Berlin’s most visited private museums, informed me that he has now received over €1 million in payouts from GetYourGuide since the COVID-19 pandemic. That number is more than just revenue. It’s what allowed him to rebuild and grow his museum through some of the most challenging years for Berlin tourism — without a single euro of public subsidy. What keeps us excited at GetYourGuide is empowering local entrepreneurs like him: people who bring history, culture, and human stories to life, not with big budgets, but with passion and creativity. To all the creators, guides, and visionaries building unforgettable experiences on GetYourGuide: thank you for inspiring travelers and making the travel industry better one booking at a time. You are the heartbeat of what we do. ❤️
Stories like this remind us that numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Behind every payout or milestone are real people who refused to give up. This kind of impact goes far beyond revenue.
Oh wow Johannes, I clearly remember meeting you at WTM London back in November 2009 when you’d just started! I immediately signed up my then company, White Shark Projects, and still remember how contagious your excitement was ! Incredible to see how far GetYourGuide has come since then, stories like this are such a beautiful reminder of the why behind what we do.
Mega🤩 Love this story!
Love seeing this kind of story 🙌 some bookings have been rolling in here too for a few of my operators lately 😄 GYG really doing its things
This is beautiful, Johannes Reck. It’s not just about bookings or revenue. It’s about resilience and the power of storytelling through travel. Incredible to see local creators thriving again.
That’s an amazing email to receive. 👏
A very valuable reward!
What an inspiring story, Johannes! It's amazing to see how passion and creativity can drive success, even in challenging times. Enno's journey is a testament to the power of dedication.
Thank you for sharing this success story of your users - which is yours too - with us. GetYourGuide is, fundamentally, a story machine. You enable creators to create and share stories - of places, scenes, food. To live and thrive. You enable travelers to listen, experience, be inspired, inspire others. To live and thrive. Your sharing perfectly mirrors this. Closing exactly how I started: Thank you.
