Artviva Affiliate Program

Earn money simply by linking to us!

Earn money simply by linking to us!

What is it?

In addition to increasing the value and functionality of your website, it is a great way to increase profits.

Simply place one of our specially-designed banners on your website. You’ll then earn money each time a booking for our tours in Italy is generated from your site!

The Artviva Affiliate Program is particularly ideal for websites that focus on travel, wine, food, shopping or Italy in general.

How does the Affiliate Program work?

1. After completing our online application form, we will send a formal contract and a request for information including bank details to pay your commission for sales of our Italy tours booked via the banner on your site. You will also receive a list of commission rates we offer for each visit.

2. Once the completed contract is received and approval of the affiliate has been made, we will forward via e-mail special webmaster HTML code to install our Affiliate Program banner or link on your website. It only takes a few minutes to complete this operation.

3. All reservations made through your website as part of the Affiliate Program will go directly to our booking system to be processed. A special encryption code will keep track of which affiliate website the booking was made through. These reservations are automatically added to a quarterly report that we create for affiliates of reservations made through their websites and the amount of commission to be received.

4. Each month you will receive a statement from our company listing bookings completed via your site. You will simply need to send an invoice for the amount listed that this can be paid to you. After receiving your invoice, we will pay the commission owed to the account details provided, directly to your bank account.

Why join Artviva?

  • Featuring Artviva Tours on your web site increases visibility on search engines and aids search engine ranking.
  • A link from your site directly to our booking engine can increase the overall appeal and quality of your website.
  • Help regarding the Affiliate Program is available by phone or e-mail to help manage the program.
  • We ensure quality offering the best tours in Italy. Artviva manages and keeps track of all reservations made, complete from the day the reservation is accepted until the day the tour booked through your website takes place.

Commission on sales

To receive commissions on Artviva tours, all you have to do is install a link to our booking engine on your website, and we will do the rest while you earn money from each sale generated from your own site.

Commissions on sales of Artviva tours are paid at the end of the next calendar month after the customer has traveled. So if someone books an Artviva Tour through your website for June, the payment of your commission will be made at the end of July.

All the tours on our Affiliate Program are managed by Artviva. This means that bookings are made directly with Artviva, rather than through a third party.

cooking class

I took the Cooking Class and Market tour (in San Lorenzo Market). It was awesome! The market had the most incredible fresh ingredients, and the most amazing seafood selection I have ever seen. The cooking class was extremely professional, and the lunch afterwards was great! I recommend this class for anyone.Mark

A truly life changing experience

Absolutely amazing.Words can hardly express how much we enjoyed our experience with ArtViva! From the minute we stepped in their lovely office, we felt attended, looked after and taken care of. The friendly staff advised us in detail of what would suit our tastes and knowledge best, and as they have so many beautiful tours to choose from, that help was very appreciated. Florence's cultural richness can be overwhelming, but relying on ArtViva made everything easy and utterly enjoyable for us.The small group walking tour of Florence exceeded all expectations. Our guide Paul was tremedous: a true Florence insider, with amazing knowledge of arts and culture, engaging story telling and great local tips you won't find in a guide book. The memories of the tour will stay with me and my sister for many many years. Booking with ArtViva is the best single thing you could do to have the ultimate Florence experience.Thank you, ArtViva.

Friendly and Knowledgable.

An essential part of visiting such an historical city as Florence is a smart, knowledgeable tour guide. Artvivas guides are fun, friendly and really know their stuff. Plus they know all those great places not on most guidebooks that only a passionate local world know. Dont even contemplate a visit to the Uffizi or Michaelangelos David without one!

Hightlight of Italian Trip

Thanks so much for the great walking tour we did in Florence in May. It was fun, informative and we were treated like VIPS! The guide made us feel welcome and got to know exactly what we were interested in seeing to make sure all was covered. If we had tried to do everything we did on the tour on our own, we would have spent days getting hopelessly lost! I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in the art, architecture, history and the culture of Florence.

Feels like you have hired a first-class guide from a first-class outfit – at a fraction of the price.

If you are the type to shy away from “packaged” tours, preferring to go it alone in a brand new city, Art Viva might just be your new BFF (best friend forever) when on tour in Florence. Comfortably small groups - instead of large crowds moving en-masse. Personalized insights by well-educated guides – instead of canned presentations. ArtViva’s walking tours are the next best thing to hiring a private art historian to walk you around this fabulous city – at a fraction of the price. Their 3-hour walking introduction to Florence’s history and a follow-up tour of the Uffizi dispelled all my preconceptions that tour groups were not for me. Even if you’ve been to Florence before, start your vacation off right in 3 quick hours. It will set the stage for a perfect stay.

Incredible!

My husband and I had the good fortune of taking ArtViva tours of Florence while on our honeymoon. We started with the walking tour, followed by the David tour. We were so impressed we immediately signed up for the Uffizi tour the next day. The guides we had (Sasha/Sylvia & Brenda) were all amazing; they were incredibly knowledgable, friendly and spoke perfect English. What was best was their genuine enthusiam and love of the arts and history of Florence; their excitment was contagious and inspired us to want to know and learn more! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.Brigitte Reynolds
