The Berlin-based company said Thursday it had raised the funding through a mix of equity and debt, with $85 million of equity investment being led by U.S. asset management firm Blue Pool Capital. The investment values the company at nearly $2 billion, up from GetYourGuide's last publicly-disclosed valuation of $1.4 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. Total investment in GetYourGuide, including both equity and debt, now stands at just over $1 billion.

These experiences are offered through third-party suppliers on its platform, with GetYourGuide taking a commission on each booking.
