Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• GetYourGuidecoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorGetYourGuide is Pub Crawl's primary ticketing and distribution partner for public scheduled tours. Pub Crawl embeds GetYourGuide booking links (with tracked affiliate partner ID) throughout its website and city pages. GetYourGuide handles payment processing, customer service, and ticket delivery for public tour bookings. The partnership provides Pub Crawl with access to GetYourGuide's millions of monthly users searching for city activities and tours.
• Amazon EU (Amazon.de)minorGTM or Marketing PartnerPub Crawl participates in the Amazon EU Affiliate Partner Program. The company displays links to Amazon products (books, merchandise) on its website. When users click affiliate links and make qualifying purchases on Amazon.de, Pub Crawl earns a commission. This is a low-touch, passive revenue stream with no deep integration.
• Spreadshirt (sprd.net AG)minorGTM or Marketing PartnerPub Crawl participates in the Spreadshirt affiliate partner program, displaying links to branded merchandise on its website. When users click through and purchase from Spreadshirt.de, Pub Crawl earns a commission. This is a low-priority affiliate revenue stream.
• Local Venue Partners (Bars, Clubs, Pubs)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPub Crawl works with a curated selection of bars, pubs, clubs, and venues in each of its 26 operating cities. The company negotiates free or discounted entry, reserved seating, and welcome drink arrangements for tour participants. Venue partners benefit from guaranteed foot traffic on tour nights. These are informal, likely non-exclusive commercial relationships essential to the tour product.
• Local Activity Providers (JGA Network)minorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorThe JGA (bachelor party) planning service networks Pub Crawl with local third-party activity providers — including paintball centers, escape rooms, party boat operators, restaurants, party bus services, and strip shows — across 40+ cities.
