Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: June 15, 2026

Touring Star participates in affiliate advertising programs. When you book a tour or experience through links on this site — including links to Viator and Tripadvisor Experiences — we may earn a referral commission from those partners.

No Additional Cost to You

Affiliate commissions are paid by the tour operator or booking platform, not by you. The price you pay for any tour or experience is identical whether you book through a link on Touring Star or navigate directly to the operator's site. You will never be charged more because of our affiliate relationship.

Independent Recommendations

Our recommendations, rankings, and editorial coverage are based on the quality, safety record, traveler reviews, and overall experience we believe a tour provides. We do not accept payment for favorable placement, and affiliate commission rates do not influence how tours are ordered, rated, or described on this site.

Which Partners We Work With

We currently link to booking platforms including Viator (a Tripadvisor company) for cruise-port excursions and destination tours. Additional affiliate partners may be added over time; this page will be updated to reflect them.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a "Book on Viator" or similar link on Touring Star, your browser is redirected to the partner's booking page. That link contains a tracking code that identifies Touring Star as the referring source. If you complete a booking within the partner's attribution window, Touring Star receives a commission. No personal information from your visit is shared with us as part of this process — the partner handles all booking and payment data directly.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships wherever affiliate-linked content appears on this site. Look for the "Affiliate Partner" label near booking links or tour listings for an at-a-glance reminder of this relationship.
