Viator Travel App Review
For most travelers, the local experiences often make or break a trip.
Viator,
Inc., the leading resource for nearly 9,
000 tours and activities in 750 destinations in 150 countries, today introduced two free apps to help travelers uncover the best experiences at the best prices anytime, anywhere -- whether they are planning ahead from their living room or standing in a hotel lobby looking for something nearby in the next few hours. The Viator
Tours and Activities App for iPhone and the Viator
Ultimate Experience GuideSM for iPad are uniquely different apps that capitalize on the native features of each device to inspire travelers and help them find unique things to do around the world, offering more last-minute inventory than previously available and new mobile e-vouchers for paperless confirmation.
Each app provides access to Viator's vast tour and activity portfolio, which includes a broad range of experiences for every taste, like a private, after-hours tour of the Vatican and
Sistine Chapel; surfing lessons on
Sydney's
Bondi Beach; a 4x4 desert safari in
Dubai, a private hot-air balloon ride over
Barcelona; and even a
Grand Canyon helicopter wedding officiated by
Elvis. All local tour operators are hand-selected and vetted for quality, value and service and are validated by more than 260,000 traveler reviews and photos.
Close relationships with these local operators allows Viator to create exclusive deals and promotions, bookable in five currencies ($US, $
AUS, $CAN,
GBP and Euro) and backed by a low-price guarantee.
The Viator Tours and
Activity App for iPhone is designed for travelers on the go, making it easy to find, share and book unforgettable activities around the world -- in advance or up to the last minute -- in just a few taps. The iPhone
GPS instantly detects the traveler's location or they can opt to change to one of the hundreds of supported destinations worldwide.
