Founded in 1995, Viator is the most venerable and polished of the tour-and-activity sites. It lists 15,000 options, from walking tours to whale-watching trips, in 1,000 destinations across more than 150 countries. In 2012, this San Francisco-based operation also began selling shore excursions, or land-based trips for cruise-goers to take advantage of when their ships dock at port. Rather than pay for the generally more expensive cruise line-organised trips, travellers can pay up to 60% less and enjoy a broader selection of choices by booking through Viator, a site that also comes in several foreign-language versions: Japanese, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. The site also leads by providing more than 360,000 user-generated reviews of its tours and activities on offer – about three times more than other sites.
