Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2025

We believe in being straightforward about how this site works financially. Here's exactly what you need to know.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on Best Things To Do In Paris are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and then make a purchase or booking through that link, we receive a small commission from the company you booked with.

The commission comes from the company's marketing budget — it does not add anything to the price you pay. You pay exactly the same whether you book through our link or go directly to the company's website.

Which Companies Are We Partners With?

GetYourGuide

We link to tours, activities, and attraction tickets through GetYourGuide's affiliate programme. When you book an Eiffel Tower ticket, a Louvre skip-the-line entry, a Seine river cruise, or any other activity through a GetYourGuide link on this site, we may earn a commission. GetYourGuide is one of the largest activity booking platforms in the world, operating in 170+ countries.

Viator

We also partner with Viator (part of the TripAdvisor group) for tours and activities. The same principle applies — you pay the same price, we may earn a commission if you book through our link.

Booking.com

Our hotel recommendations link to Booking.com through their affiliate programme. When you click a "Check availability on Booking.com" button and make a hotel reservation, we may receive a commission from Booking.com. Again, the price you pay is not affected.

How We Choose What to Recommend

We only recommend things we genuinely believe are worth your time and money. The editorial content on this site — the descriptions of attractions, restaurants, neighbourhoods, and experiences — is written based on knowledge of Paris, not on what pays the highest commission.

The fact that we have affiliate relationships with GetYourGuide, Viator, and Booking.com does not mean we recommend all their products, or that we recommend their products over alternatives. Where a free or lower-cost option is better, we say so.

We do not accept payment from tour operators, hotels, or restaurants to be featured on this site. We do not write sponsored content. Our recommendations are independent.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this site typically appear as buttons ("Book tickets", "Check availability", "Browse tours") or clearly labelled booking calls to action. All external affiliate links open in a new tab and carry the HTML attributes rel="noopener nofollow sponsored" in accordance with Google's guidelines for paid links.

A disclosure banner appears at the top of every page on this site confirming that we use affiliate links.

UK Advertising Standards

This disclosure complies with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) guidelines on affiliate marketing. We are required to be transparent about commercial relationships, and we take that obligation seriously.
