Affiliate Disclosure

Daytrip.paris operates as a free travel information resource supported by affiliate partnerships. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn commissions, and how this affects you as a visitor.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you book tours, tickets, or services through our partner platforms. When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, the booking platform pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.

This is a standard practice in online travel publishing and allows us to provide comprehensive, free travel guides without charging subscription fees or placing content behind paywalls.

Our Affiliate Partners

We partner with reputable booking platforms and service providers in the travel industry. Our primary affiliate partners include:

GetYourGuide: Tours, activities, skip-the-line tickets, and experiences throughout Paris and France
Tiqets: Museum tickets, attraction passes, and cultural experiences
Viator: Tours, day trips, and travel experiences

These platforms are established, trusted companies in the travel industry with secure booking systems, customer support, and clear cancellation policies.

We may also partner with:

Transportation booking services (train tickets, transfers)
Accommodation booking platforms
Travel insurance providers
Other travel-related services relevant to day trips from Paris

All affiliate partnerships are clearly disclosed, and we only partner with companies we believe provide value to our readers.

How Affiliate Commissions Work

No Extra Cost to You

Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. You pay exactly the same price as if you booked directly with the service provider. The commission we earn comes from the booking platform's marketing budget, not from additional charges to customers.

For example:

Tour price on GetYourGuide: €50
Tour price through our affiliate link: €50 (same price)
GetYourGuide pays us a small commission from their portion
You pay the same €50 regardless of how you book

When We Earn Commissions

We earn affiliate commissions when:

You click an affiliate link on our website
You complete a booking or purchase through that link
The booking is confirmed and not canceled within the refund period

We do not earn commissions from:

Simply clicking links without making purchases
Bookings that are canceled and refunded
Links to non-affiliate resources (official attraction websites, SNCF, etc.)

Our Editorial Independence

Honest Recommendations

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We maintain strict editorial independence and provide honest, unbiased information based on:

Research and analysis of destinations
Practical travel experience and knowledge
Reader needs and interests
Objective evaluation of attractions and services

We recommend destinations, tours, and activities because we believe they offer value to travelers, not because they generate higher commissions.

What We Don't Do

We do not:

Recommend tours or services solely because they pay higher commissions
Hide or downplay better alternatives that don't offer affiliate programs
Exaggerate benefits or hide drawbacks of affiliate products
Create fake reviews or testimonials
Guarantee availability, pricing, or quality of third-party services

Balanced Information

Our guides include:

Both affiliate and non-affiliate resources
DIY travel options alongside organized tours
Free and paid alternatives
Honest assessments of when tours are worth it vs. when independent travel works better

How Affiliate Revenue Supports This Website

Affiliate commissions allow us to:

Provide comprehensive travel guides free of charge
Research and update destination information regularly
Maintain website infrastructure and hosting
Create detailed itineraries, maps, and practical advice
Respond to reader questions and feedback
Expand coverage to new destinations and topics

Without affiliate revenue, we would need to charge subscription fees, place content behind paywalls, or rely on intrusive advertising to sustain operations.

Your Choices

Using Affiliate Links

Using our affiliate links is entirely optional and voluntary. You can:

Use our links: Support our work at no cost to you while getting the same prices
Book directly: Navigate to booking platforms yourself if you prefer
Use our information for research: Read our guides and book through any method you choose

We appreciate when readers use our affiliate links as it helps sustain this free resource, but we understand if you prefer to book directly.

Ad Blockers and Tracking Prevention

Some ad blockers and privacy tools may prevent affiliate links from working properly. This is your right, and we respect your privacy choices. Our content remains freely accessible regardless of whether affiliate tracking functions.

Transparency and Disclosure

We believe in transparency about our business model. You'll find:

Clear distinction between editorial content and affiliate links
No hidden relationships or undisclosed partnerships
