GetYourGuide vs Viator for Algarve tours

Both platforms resell the same local operators. The price is what changes. Here is the gap on every Algarve tour listed by both.

Of the 40 tours listed on both sites, GetYourGuide is cheaper on 17 and Viator is cheaper on 23. Neither wins often enough to be worth defaulting to.

The practical answer is to check both for the specific tour you want. That is what this table is for. The difference is usually a few euros, but on longer day trips it can be considerably more.

Cancellation terms are set per listing rather than per platform, so read those on the tour page as well as the price.

Common questions

Is GetYourGuide or Viator cheaper?
Neither is consistently cheaper. Both negotiate their own rate with each operator and add their own fee, so the winner changes tour by tour. The table on this page shows the actual difference for each tour rather than a general rule.
Is it the same tour on both sites?
Usually yes. Both platforms resell the same local operators, so the boat, the guide and the meeting point are identical. What differs is the price, the cancellation window and the voucher.
Which has the better cancellation policy?
Both commonly offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but it is set per tour, not per platform. The comparison table on each tour page shows the policy for that specific listing.
