Experiences cannot be deleted, because past bookings point to them. Archive a trip you no longer sell instead. Archiving takes it off sale everywhere and hides it across Samba, and keeps its booking history intact.
Before you start
Samba refuses to archive while something is still live on the trip. Clear these first:
an upcoming departure with a Pending or Confirmed booking: cancel the bookings or wait until the trip has run
an upcoming departure with a traveler in the middle of checkout, or a GetYourGuide reservation in progress
an open booking request
A multi-day trip that is under way still counts as upcoming until it ends.
Archive an experience
Go to Settings → Experiences and open the experience.
Choose Actions → Archive. The same action is on each row of the list.
Read the confirmation. It says how many upcoming departures will be deleted and how many canceled.
Click Archive. If something blocks it, a notice lists what, and nothing changes.
Upcoming departures with no bookings are deleted, and restoring the experience does not bring them back.
What archiving does
What | Effect |
The experience | Unpublished and hidden across Samba. Its public page shows "not found". |
Upcoming departures with no bookings | Deleted |
Upcoming departures whose bookings are all canceled or refunded | Canceled, and kept for your records |
Recurring schedules | Paused |
Active GetYourGuide listings | Paused |
Past departures and all bookings | Untouched |
An archived experience stays in the folders it was in, but is never shown to travelers.
Restore an experience
Go to Settings → Experiences and open the Archived tab.
Find the experience and use Restore. This tab is the only place it is offered.
The experience comes back as a Draft, and nothing else restarts on its own:
Publish it again when you are ready.
Resume its recurring schedules and GetYourGuide listings yourself.
Departures deleted by archiving are not recreated, and canceled ones stay canceled.
A booking came in while I was confirming the archive. What happens?
A booking came in while I was confirming the archive. What happens?
Samba checks again when the archive runs. The archive is refused and the notice lists the new booking.
