I can’t believe I’ve never selected Viator.com as the website of the week! I thought I had, years ago when they first launched. Foolish me!
Hopefully, you’ve heard about them and used their service in the past. If not, listen up. Viator.com has a comprehensive list of more than
4,500 destination activities for travelers, so that when you arrive wherever it is that you’re going, you’ll know what kinds of things you
can do there. It’s not just limited to U.S. travel either. In fact, their service targets more than 75 countries and over 450 cities around
the world! They really are the traveler's one-stop-shop for researching, planning and booking destination activities. What I like most is
that they provide access to reputable local operators, hand-selected by their in-house travel experts who routinely review and validate the
activities. But the best thing Viator.com can do for you is save you some serious time by helping you to avoid waiting in long lines at
popular attractions. For example, forget waiting two hours in the hot sun to see the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican Museum. For $38.90,
which is twice the regular entrance fee, (but even if it was triple the regular admission, it’d be worth it) visitors don’t have to
wait in the long line and get exclusive access before the general public does. Same goes for the
Front of Line Pass at Universal Studios Hollywood, The Academia Gallery in Florence,
Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, British Airways’
London Eye,
Madame Tussauds,
The Louvre in Paris and an exclusive
Alcatraz/San Francisco city tour. Heck, they can even get you
into the hottest Las Vegas nightclubs with no cover charge and no wait in line! Now that’s what I’m talking about! Log on to their
website to see how they can simplify your travels.
BONUS WEBSITE OF THE WEEK
This week, we’re featuring a site recommended to us by reader Suzanne Lowrie. Here’s what she had to say about her favorite cooking school in Chiang Mai, Thailand: “The Kao Hom Cooking School six-class complete course alone is worth making the trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is in a visually beautiful setting, with gorgeous gardens and wonderful architecture. Kao Hom has a full complement of sous-chefs and an executive chef who helps the students. The owner, Tim, is also there instructing. No student can fail to create wonderful Thai food. I also loved the graciousness and charming behavior of all the staff. They are trained to be superbly patient, positive and kind with all the students.”
