What does #bookdirect Mean?

Booking your travel through a big agency like Tripadvisor or booking.com means that local tour and activity companies have to pay large commissions to those websites. 

We are teaching the world to #bookdirect, to support independent business and keep money in local economies.

More and more businesses are offering better deals to people who #bookdirect. It's time to shop around. Find a hotel's website. Google the name of the company that you want to book a tour with. See what they are offering.

You should never be afraid to contact the business and tell them you prefer to #bookdirect to save them the commission, and see what deals they can do. 

If you make a booking here on cyclecities.tours, there is no commission payable. It's the same as a direct booking, so you can be sure you're getting the best deal, and supporting local businesses.
