Magpie's Take
Trusted Global Brand
Globally recognized, trusted brand with access to millions of accommodation customers and a relatively competitive 20% commission rate.
Limited Control
Limited control over cancellation policies. Hosts may owe commissions even if tours are cancelled. You cannot mix Airbnb guests with other participants on the same experience.
