How booking works today
Every pick on The Colchis is booked with someone else: a booking platform such as GetYourGuide, or the operator’s own site. We sell nothing ourselves, take no payment and hold no booking.
- You pay the partner, at the partner’s price, and the booking is made under the partner’s terms.
- The partner handles changes, cancellations and refunds. Their terms decide what you get back, so read them before you pay. To change a booking, contact the partner you booked with: we cannot change or cancel it for you.
- We may earn a commission. If you book through one of our links, the partner may pay The Colchis a commission. The partner pays it, at no extra cost to you: using our link does not add anything to the price you pay.
As of 29 September 2026, our only paying partner is GetYourGuide, through its partner programme. Links to GetYourGuide on the shortlist pages can earn us a commission. Links straight to an operator, a venue or another booking site pay us nothing.
How paying links are marked
Every link that can earn us money is marked in two ways:
- On the page: a line next to the link says that we may earn a commission if you book through it.
- In the code: the link carries the attribute
rel="sponsored", which tells search engines that it is a paid link.
A price shown on a pick carries the date we checked it. Where the operator publishes no price, for example a trip quoted for your dates, the pick says “Priced on request” instead. Prices change, so the partner’s page always holds the live price.
What never changes
A pick is never on a page because a partner paid for placement. A partner cannot buy a place, a higher position or kinder wording.
Later: resale and our own trips
One day The Colchis may also sell days that other businesses run, or run trips of its own. Neither exists today. If either starts, the listing will say so, and the terms, including who handles changes and refunds, will be published before the first booking.
