About Xplore

A trip starts with what you'll do there

Almost every travel tool starts with transport and the hotel, and leaves for last the only thing you'll remember. We do it the other way round: we start from what you like, look for what's on for you those days and build the trip around it.

Discover.

What you like decides where you go.

Save.

We compare the price across the sellers we check. The final price is confirmed with the seller.

Live it.

From the idea to the itinerary. And a guide when you get to Barcelona.

Three things, and all three matter

How we choose what we show you

In the conversation with the guide, the order of suggestions is decided by what you asked for: your requirements first, your tastes second. In each destination's listing we use the seller's relevance order. Any commission we may earn does not affect that order. If we ever show a paid placement, you'll see it labelled as sponsored.

Activities currently come from Viator's catalogue, with traveller reviews, and we're adding more sellers by category and by city. Each card says who sells and what the reference price is.

How we make a living

Plainly: when you book an activity from Xplore, the seller pays us a commission. You don't pay it and it doesn't change the price. If you book nothing, the service still costs you nothing.

Searching, comparing and planning in writing is free and needs no account. Talking to the guide by voice or video requires an account and a subscription, and that one you do pay for directly.

We say it this plainly because a comparison site is only worth something if you trust it, and you can't trust someone who won't tell you how they earn.

Where we are now

Accessibility

We design with WCAG 2.2 level AA as the target: sufficient contrast, keyboard navigation, text that grows without breaking and screen-reader compatibility. If something doesn't work for you, write to support@tryxplore.com and we'll fix it.
