The Platforms
Where I Book Tours
Not all tour platforms are the same. Here is what each one does best and when I reach for it.
My go-to for city tours, cultural experiences, and family-friendly activities worldwide. Wide selection, reliable operators, and a generous cancellation policy that makes booking ahead stress-free. Most of my specific tour recommendations below are booked through GetYourGuide.
Browse GetYourGuide →A wide selection of activities and shore excursions with strong cancellation policies and verified reviews. A reliable option when I need more variety or when a specific experience is not available elsewhere.
Browse Viator →My pick specifically for cruise shore excursions. Project Expedition works directly with cruise passengers and offers a great selection of port day experiences that complement any itinerary, from active adventures to cultural explorations.
Browse Project Expedition →The platform I reach for when depth matters. Context Travel tours are led by local scholars, historians, architects, and subject matter experts, not scripted guides. Groups capped at six people, with private options available. Worth every penny for destinations with rich history or culture.
