Viator, a Tripadvisor company, lists 400,000+ tours, tickets, activities and travel experiences, each run by a third-party supplier rather than by Viator.
The rule that protects your money most is the cancellation window: most experiences refund you if you change or cancel up to 24 hours before the start time.
Viator's listings span city tours, skip-the-line tickets, food and wine tours, day trips and attraction entry around the world, with large catalogs for sights such as the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, the Sagrada Familia, the Eiffel Tower and Yellowstone National Park. Destinations range from US cities like Las Vegas, New York City and Chicago to Rome, Paris, Bali and Cancun.
The company, Viator, Inc., also publishes a travel blog, offers round-the-clock customer support and runs a loyalty program called Viator Rewards. Separate sign-up paths exist for tour suppliers, travel agents and affiliates. Prices are generally shown per person and converted from local currency, and local taxes, tips and extras are often not included.

Viator shipping, returns and perks
Who runs the tour
Viator isn't the tour operator; each booking is a contract with the third-party supplier who runs the experience.
Cancellation
Most experiences can be changed or cancelled up to 24 hours before the start time for a refund; nothing is refunded once it has started.
All Sales Final
Products marked 'All Sales Final' are non-refundable, and the policy on each listing is the one that applies.
Pricing
Prices are per person unless stated, converted from local prices at Viator's exchange rate, and usually leave out local taxes, fees, tips and extras.
Reserve now, pay later
Many experiences can be held now and paid for later at no extra cost, with free cancellation kept.
Viator Rewards
Bookings earn rewards that you can redeem on a later booking through the Viator Rewards program.
Codes and changes
Editing a booking made with a promo code or special-offer price may cancel that discount entirely.
A Viator promo code is tied to the booking it was used on, so settle the date, time and group size before you redeem it.
Changing a booking made with a promo code or a special-offer price may cancel the discount, which can wipe out the saving.
Read the listing's own cancellation policy as well, since it governs that product, and 'All Sales Final' experiences can't be refunded at all.
The per-person price usually excludes local taxes, fees, tips and extras, so compare the full cost of the day rather than the headline price.
More ways to save at Viator
Viator Rewards returns something on each booking to spend on the next one, which adds up when you book several activities for one trip.
Reserve now, pay later lets you secure a popular tour without paying up front while free cancellation stays in place, so you can keep comparing other suppliers.
Because prices convert at Viator's exchange rate, the amount in your currency can differ from the supplier's local price.
