With their site optimised for mobile booking, you can plan in advance or on the go with Viator.
The time of your life is waiting at Viator, so let’s tell you how you can book your dream tour, trip or activity.
How to use Viator
The best way to find tours and activities on Viator is by entering a destination, such as Paris or New York, in the search box on the home page. You’ll also have the option to add a travel date if you know when you want to do the activity. This will help you find what’s available on that date.
Once you’ve clicked Search, you’ll be taken to the main page for your chosen destination, which will show you the most popular tours and activities in that location.
You can then filter the available tours and activities by date, price, duration, customer rating or whether there are deals & discounts available, as well as whether they offer free cancellation, are likely to sell out, offer skip the line, are private tours and even whether they’re Viator exclusives or new to the site.
“Very good website, excellent choice, good prices,” was how one happy TopCashback member described their experience of booking with Viator.
You’ll also be able to use the left navigation bar to narrow your search down to specific types of activities, which is great if you’re looking for cultural tours, day trips, food tours or child friendly excursions.
All of the activities you’ll see are offered ‘as is’, which means they can’t be customised. However, there’s plenty of choice, with some tours having multiple options.
If you’re making a list of tours to look at later, be sure to write down the tour code, which can be found near the bottom of the tour information page — in the questions section. Then, if you want to return to the tour page, you can simply search for the code.
You may also click Save to Wishlist at the top right corner of the product page. This will save the tour or activity to your wishlist, which you can access through your Viator account.
How to get hold of your tickets
There are various ways in which you can access your ticket once you have booked a tour or activity.
If you opt for email, you’ll usually receive it in your confirmation email within 15 minutes of booking your activity, although it can sometimes take up to 48 hours.
Alternatively, you can access your ticket through your Viator account (they’ll create one automatically using your email when you book).
Someone who left feedback on our site said: “Booked five trips in Tokyo — all were superb and exactly as advertised.”
If you’re logged in on your computer, click on the Bookings link in the top right corner of Viator.com and you’ll see all your bookings. All you’ll have to do then is click Get Tickets to retrieve it.
If you’re on the mobile website or Viator app, click on the Menu icon in the top left corner of the screen and then the Bookings section. You’ll then see all your bookings and tickets.
One handy tip you should bear in mind is if you don’t expect to have Wi-Fi or internet access during your trip, it’s a good idea to print your tickets before you travel.
Now you know exactly what to do, get booking your dream tour, excursion or activity — and save yourself by earning up to 10% cashback with us this week.
