To book without commission, contact directly the person or organization running the activity, by phone or email, rather than going through a booking platform. Ask for the total price, any fees, cancellation conditions and payment method before confirming: booking directly avoids the middleman, but does not always guarantee a lower rate, as the provider sets their own prices.
For an outing in the Maremma Park, you can book a guided tour with the park's visitor center or contact directly an authorized environmental guide. The park states that authorized guides can accompany groups all year round, by reservation, between 8:30 a.m. and one hour before sunset; in summer, a specific calendar of guided excursions is offered from June 15 to September 15. For a horseback ride, a boat trip or a tasting, look up the name of the local operator then check that you are indeed dealing with them, and not with a reseller. If you cannot find a reliable contact, the local tourist office can point you in the right direction; simply ask whether the booking is made directly with the provider.
