That's a good tip. I rarely ever book through Viator but I like to use it to get a read on what kind of day trips are ideal from a destination.Pete_Coach wrote: ↑ Not that you should use Viator but here is a list of things to do in and around Miami

I use Viator frequently, not just for research but I used it to book tours (skip the line stuff) in quite a few places. I have almost always had good experience with the tour operators but when things did not go right, Viator has backed me up with refunds (a tour in New York City and another in Rome).56kbps wrote: ↑ That's a good tip.

Miami is a great place but it's a pretty laid back destination. A good place for relaxing on the beach, wandering South Beach, dining/clubbing that kind of thing. It isn't the kind of city where there are tons of attractions, museums and what not so don't expect that.

Interesting you should say that. I have compared prices between Viator and the actual site it offers and find the prices to be very similar if not identical. I chose Viator, as I said, because when or if there is a problem, it is easier to deal with Viator than a tour operator. Viator was far more cooperative then the tour operator.56kbps wrote: ↑ Yes, you're right, the distances can be vast and traffic a hassle in south Florida. What looks on a map like a short drive can easily turn out to be over an hour, especially when you hit traffic.
As for Viator, I find their prices to be a bit inflated. I like to get ideas from their site and then source the tours elsewhere. I tend to use them mainly for booking airport transfers but not much else.

Perhaps the spread between Viator and prices on the ground varies by market. In lower-cost European and Asian destinations, it strikes me that Viator often asks for the North American price while local prices are much less expensive. Maybe the difference is less pronounced in the US.Pete_Coach wrote: ↑ Interesting you should say that.
