4 Top Tours & Activities Companies

Choosing a tour or activity provider

This category covers day activities booked online, multi-day group tours, and park or campsite reservations. Some sites are marketplaces selling tours run by local operators. Others run their own trips. Find out who will actually lead the tour, because that company is responsible for your safety and the experience on the day.

• Meeting point and inclusions. Check exactly where to meet, which transport, meals and entry tickets are included, and what is extra.
• Group size and pace. Small groups and fast itineraries suit different people. Read the daily plan.
• Cancellation terms. Weather and minimum numbers can cancel a tour. Know whether you get a refund, a voucher or a new date.
• Permits and insurance. For adventure activities, ask whether the operator holds the permits and insurance required where it works.

What goes wrong and how to prepare

Reviews in this category often mention guides who did not show up, unclear pickup points and tours that differ from the listing. Save your voucher offline, note the operator's local phone number and arrive early. For long trips with a large deposit, check the seller's CandorRated page: you can see how long the domain has existed, who appears to run the site, the contact details found and reviews from past travelers.
