Pros and cons
Adrenaline USA
Pros
- Gift certificates are flexible, so the balance can be exchanged towards another Adrenaline product or adventure.
- The catalogue runs to 1,452 to 1,700 experiences, from driving days to attraction tickets.
- Adrenaline USA sells experience days, driving, adventure and more, so the same voucher can cover several kinds of day out.
Cons
- Refunds on gift certificates sit inside a 14 day change of mind window from the purchase date.
- The starting price of $14.75 is quoted for scenic cruises, so it is a poor guide to a driving or adventure day.
- The experiences are sold in the United States, so a gift for someone living in another country is a poor bet.
Guiders
Pros
- Entry price of €13 matches the median across the experience-days field, €13, and sits just under the attraction-tickets median of €15.10.
- Product types span experience days, adventure and food and drink, wider than DealToday, which lists experience days, spa and food and drink.
- A catalogue of 113 experiences gives buyers room to compare themes before they settle on a date.
Cons
- No refund cushion sits behind a purchase, because the return window is 0 days.
- Availability is limited to DE, a single market, so a voucher covers what happens in Germany and nowhere else.
- Guiders' product types, experience days, adventure and food and drink, leave out spa, which Jochen Schweizer and mydays both carry.
Who each suits
Adrenaline USA
Who it suits
- Anyone buying a birthday or anniversary gift for someone who would rather pick the day than be given a fixed plan.
- People who enjoy driving days and adventure activities, with 1,452 to 1,700 experiences to browse.
- Gift givers who buy well ahead of the occasion, since the voucher stays valid for 60 months after purchase.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs to change their mind long after buying, since a certificate refund has to be requested within a 14 day window.
- Buyers on a tight budget who read $14.75 as a typical price, since that figure is quoted for scenic cruises.
- Anyone set on a booked day rather than a gift they can exchange can look at Turbopass instead.
Guiders
Who it suits
- Buyers planning a German day out or attraction visit who would rather pick the price before they pick the date.
- Gift shoppers who want a themed range in one place, since experience days, adventure and food and drink covers food, driving and attractions together.
- People who prefer calling to waiting, given email, phone and help centre includes phone alongside email and a help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone with a trip outside Germany, since DE is a single market and a voucher only covers experiences there.
- Spa days, which DealToday and mydays list and experience days, adventure and food and drink leaves out.
- Anyone who wants a refund route, since the return window is 0 days.

Questions about each
Adrenaline USA
How much does an Adrenaline USA experience cost?+
Scenic cruises are quoted from $14.75. That figure belongs to scenic cruises, which makes it a useful entry point for a gift but a poor guide to a driving day or an adventure activity. Each experience carries its own price, and a gift certificate lets the recipient decide which one to book.
How long does an Adrenaline USA gift certificate last?+
A voucher stays valid for 60 months from the purchase date, which suits a present bought well ahead of the occasion. If the recipient never gets around to it, the balance can be exchanged towards another Adrenaline product or adventure rather than simply lapsing.
Guiders
What does a Guiders experience cost?+
Guiders lists a starting price of €13, and that is the figure to budget from rather than a typical spend. Across the experience-days field the median starting price is €13, and for attraction tickets it reads €15.10. Guiders ranks 23 of 53 brands tracked on that measure, so the entry point sits in the middle of the group.
Do Guiders prices change when a voucher renews or repeats?+
Guiders sells vouchers rather than a repeating plan, so €13 is the price of the voucher itself rather than a first payment that later moves. Nothing in the pricing indicates a renewal step, so the amount shown at checkout is the amount for that experience, and a repeat purchase is a new decision at the price in force then.
