TourRadar is a travel website where travellers and tourists can book a group tour, as well as featuring user-generated reviews of individual tours and of the Tour Operators. It claims to have more than 20,000 tours available from more than 250 different tour operators worldwide, and acts as an online marketplace for third party tour operators to list their tours so that users can find them. As well as offering booking and reviews of tours, they also allow travellers to meet before their tour departs through their iOS and Android apps.
Founded in 2010, the website was set up by brothers Shawn Pittman and Travis Pittman, and was spun off from their social travel website BugBitten. The website has since grown to include reviews, the Meet app, and the annual award titled ‘World's Most Amazing Tour’. In June 2013, TourRadar announced a round of angel funding from investors including ex-CEO of Expedia, Erik Blachford. In May 2014, TourRadar appeared on Austrias version of Dragons' Den, "2 Minuten, 2 Millionen" (2 Minutes, 2 Million), and secured $500,000 in funding led by former chief executives from Expedia and HolidayCheck, as well as funding from SpeedInvest, an Austrian Investment Company. In September 2015 TourRadar launched into North America with Christian Wolters, former VP of sales and marketing at Intrepid Travel, as the North America managing director.
