An air conditioned bus, nice elevator music in the background, and meeting fellow explorers are some of the reasons why going on a tour is a good option for experiencing an area. Not only do you get a chance to learn about an area but you also get a chance to learn it from locals and experienced professionals. Personally, I love going on hiking tours, sight seeing tours, and food/drinking tours and here are the best sites to book the tours. 


Tripadvisor 

Tripadvisor is one of the most popular sites to book tours. It’s great because of the amount of reviews you can see and the amount of tours available to book. You can easily find tours for any area that you want to visit and you can also find recent and credible reviews for the tours. If you are looking for a more traditional tour such as hiking, zip lining and etc, this is your go to site. 

Viator 

Viator is similar to Tripadvisor in that there are a lot of tours available and reviews available. However I do find that Viator is occasionally cheaper and has more interesting options. I see more helicopter, hot air balloon tours and etc on Viator. I always use this site to find interesting hidden gems. 

Withlocals

Withlocals is great to find tours that are created by locals for tourists who enjoy authentic experiences. It is also a great site to use to find locally led online tours. Withlocals options are not as plentiful as Tripadvisor and Viator, but it is a good site to use to find tours that are created by locals that like to teach about their hometown.



Using a combination of these 3 sites will ensure that you get the perfect tour for your vacation. Whether you are hiking in the mountains or riding in an air-conditioned bus, these sites will give you plenty of options to chose from.
