Pros and cons
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.
US Ghost Adventures
Pros
- Vouchers are exchangeable, and validity of 12 months matches the site median of 12, ranking US Ghost Adventures 12 among the 31 brands compared on that measure.
- from 350 experiences sit behind attractions, food and drink and gift cards, so a gift can be aimed at a single interest with more depth per option than a long general list allows.
- Support runs on phone, chat and email, so a booking question can go by phone or chat rather than waiting on an inbox.
Cons
- Next day delivery is not offered, and shipping adds $9.90 to a physical order, so a voucher for a near date has to be sent well ahead of the day.
- The catalogue is narrow at attractions, food and drink and gift cards against experience days, spa and driving at Jochen Schweizer, so a buyer wanting spa or driving options has to look elsewhere.
- It runs in a single market, US, so a voucher bought from outside the US has nothing to redeem.
Who each suits
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.
US Ghost Adventures
Who it suits
- US buyers who want a gift with a strong theme and time to spare, since vouchers run for 12 months and can be exchanged when dates move.
- Group bookings where a phone call beats a form, since support runs on phone, chat and email.
- Buyers who would rather have depth in a single interest than breadth across categories, given from 350 experiences behind attractions, food and drink and gift cards.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a broad category list, since Jochen Schweizer covers experience days, spa and driving including spa and driving as well as attractions.
- Buyers shopping for a mixed household that wants options side by side, since mydays lists experience days, spa and driving.
- Buyers who need a voucher in hand the next day, since next day delivery is not offered and shipping costs $9.90.

Questions about each
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.
US Ghost Adventures
How much does a US Ghost Adventures voucher cost?+
Entry pricing starts at $4, so a small add-on gift is inexpensive. Physical orders also carry $9.90 in shipping, which on a low value voucher can outweigh the voucher itself, so the total at checkout is worth a look. Exchangeable vouchers help here too, since an experience can be swapped rather than replaced by a second gift.
How long is a US Ghost Adventures voucher valid for?+
Vouchers run for 12 months, matching the site median of 12, and that places US Ghost Adventures at 12 among the 31 brands ranked on validity. A gift bought at the start of a trip or a season therefore has room to be redeemed later in the cycle.
