Everyone loves a good deal—especially when it means
saving on unforgettable experiences.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a bucket-list adventure,
getting the most value out of your trip starts with smart booking.
At Viator, we believe that exploring the world should be both exciting and affordable.
That’s why we’re sharing insider tips to help you spot the best deals on tours and activities—no matter where you’re headed.
1. Book Early (But Not Too Early)
While last-minute spontaneity has its charm, booking too close to your travel date can limit your options or cost more. Viator offers thousands of tours with real-time availability, but the best-value tours often fill up fast. Booking a few weeks in advance helps you secure lower prices and top-rated experiences—especially for popular destinations.
Pro Tip: Use Viator’s date flexibility filter to compare prices across a few days—you might save more by shifting your activity by just one day.
2. Take Advantage of Limited-Time Discounts
Viator regularly features limited-time deals and seasonal promotions on popular tours. These discounts are clearly marked on the site and app, so keep your eye out for banners like “Special Offer”, “Save Now”, or “Limited-Time Deal.” These offers can slash prices without compromising on quality.
Pro Tip: Sign up for the Viator newsletter and turn on app notifications to get first dibs on exclusive sales and promo codes.
3. Compare Similar Tours
Let’s say you want to explore the Grand Canyon or cruise the canals in Amsterdam—chances are there are several tour options. Use Viator’s comparison tools to check ratings, duration, inclusions (like meals or hotel pickup), and traveler reviews. Sometimes, the lower-priced option offers nearly identical value for a fraction of the cost.
Pro Tip: Check what’s included—a cheaper tour might not cover entrance fees or transportation, while a slightly higher-priced one might be all-inclusive.
4. Travel Off-Peak for Lower Rates
Traveling during the off-season or midweek often means fewer crowds and better prices. Many tours on Viator are priced dynamically—meaning they cost less when demand is low. If your schedule allows, book activities for a Tuesday or Wednesday instead of a weekend and you might snag a great deal.
Pro Tip: Use the Viator app to search for tours based on date and sort them by price or traveler rating.
5. Bundle Experiences or Opt for Multi-Day Tours
Viator offers combo packages and multi-day experiences that combine multiple attractions or cities at a discounted rate. These are perfect if you want to maximize sightseeing without the hassle of booking everything separately.
Pro Tip: Look for “Combo,” “All-In-One,” or “Multi-Day” in the title—these often represent major savings over booking tours individually.
Your Adventure, Smarter.
Finding the best deal doesn’t mean sacrificing the experience—it means traveling smarter. With Viator’s user-friendly platform, verified reviews, and transparent pricing, you’re always one step closer to the adventure of a lifetime—at a price that feels just right.
