Make Room for the Experiences You’ll Remember

Flights get you there. Hotels give you a place to settle in. The experiences you choose help make the journey your own.

After exploring 98 countries and counting, my advice is simple: leave room to enjoy the destination. A guided walk, a food tour or a day exploring beyond the city can add something special without filling every hour.

Viator is one place to browse tours and activities. Before booking, look beyond the headline and photos.

Choose an experience that fits your trip

• The pace: How much walking, travel time or physical activity is involved?
• The group: Would you prefer a private experience or a shared tour?
• What’s included: Check admission tickets, transportation, meals and other costs.
• The meeting point: Confirm where you need to be and how you’ll get there.
• The booking terms: Read the cancellation policy for the specific experience.
• Recent reviews: Look for details that matter to your own travel style.

For cruise travelers, also check the tour’s timing against your ship’s schedule and allow time to return.

You don’t need to do everything. Choose the experiences that matter most to you, and leave room for discoveries along the way.
