Depuis sa fondation en 2008, Civitatis est devenue une plateforme de réservation d’excursions touristiques en ligne d’envergure, similaire aux plateformes GetYourGuide, GetYourGuide, et TripAdvisor.
Civitatis offre la possibilité de réserver :
Civitatis fait affaire avec des compagnies et des guides locaux pour offrir des expériences de qualité qui débutent avec une réservation en ligne facile et rapide.
I did a first test of the platform during my visit to Paris last November. I wanted to see what kind of activities were offered there, so I started my search by inserting “Paris” in the search bar, to get to the destination page.
From this page, you can filter according to several criteria such as the type of product (tickets, tours, excursions, shows, etc.), date, price, duration and other characteristics.
J’ai ensuite choisi l’activité qui m’intéressait, dans ce cas-ci c’était la “Croisière sur la Seine” (lisez notre guide sur les plus belles croisières sur la Seine pour vous inspirez).
Sur la page de l’activité, il est possible de lire la description complète, d’obtenir plus de renseignements et de lire les avis des utilisateurs. Puisque les avis étaient majoritairement positifs, j’ai procédé à la réservation en choisissant la date et l’heure de la visite.
Once the date and time have been chosen, we enter the reservation process.
After completing the Personal details section, you will be taken to the payment page. Here you can choose which currency to pay with.
To avoid foreign currency conversion fees, which often amount to 2.5%, I chose to pay with my Scotiabank Passport™ Visa Infinite +* Card. So I simply looked up the exchange rate of the day for each currency to see which price was better between the U.S. dollar, the euro and the British pound.
By paying with this card, I can then use my Scene+ points to get a credit on the account at the ratio of 1,000 points = $10 since it is a travel expense.
Once the payment was completed, I arrived on the confirmation page.
I then received the email confirmation with the barcode that allowed me to get my access to the boat for the cruise later. Everything went as advertised on the product page.
My first activity with Civitatis was very positive. The experience was exactly as described and all the information I needed had been provided. The audio guide during the visit was available in French, which is normal since I was in Paris.
I would advise you to check in which language the experience you choose will be offered before booking as this can vary from country to country.
In the end, Civitatis is a trusted tourism platform that allows you to choose your destination experiences based on verified customer reviews at a great price. For example, I would have paid 18 euros without a reservation when I went to the Seine River Cruise. So I saved 1.50 euros by booking in advance on the Civitatis website or app.
