Cityfans General Terms and Conditions of Use

Hey there, welcome to Cityfans! These are the rules of the game for using our platform, so let's get started. These terms apply to you as soon as you use the platform. If you do not wish to be legally bound by these terms, then please do not access or use our platform.

Our platform is your go-to place for exploring cities, and we're thrilled you're here. We're all about making city exploration easy and fun. We're like the middle person between you and the cool experiences you want to do in a city. We work with awesome local suppliers, and everything you see on our platform comes from them. We don't make the experiences, but we help you book them. When you book something, you're not buying from us, but from the supplier. We're just here to make the connection. Please read the terms from the supplier carefully, because they may contain important information for you, e.g. regarding cancellation options and other conditions.

Got Questions? We're here: If you have any questions about your booking, feel free to reach out to our customer service. We'll do our best to help, usually within 24-48 hours.
