How this site makes money

nineazores is free to read. This is our affiliate disclosure: exactly how the site pays for itself, so you can weigh the advice for yourself.

How that affects what you read

I pick the tours I would book myself, and I say plainly when one is not worth it. A tour is never recommended because it pays more, and “no” is a valid answer on any page.

Where I compare tours, the order is my judgement, not the commission.

What is not paid for

The island, place, trail and weather pages carry no affiliate links and earn nothing. They are here because they are useful.

No tour operator, hotel or tourism board pays to appear here or to be written about.
