A few of our top resources:
Winedering – The best marketplace for finding and booking wine tours, hands down. These guys have direct relationships with wineries all over the world. They focus on authenticity, small wineries, family-run estates, and independent guides. You won’t find these tours anywhere else. Enjoy winery tours, tastings, wine with lunch, and more on a Winedering tour.
*Filter the “pickup and drop-off service” option to “customer meeting point” to find tours with transportation.
Viator – We found Viator over a decade ago, and it’s still one of the sites that we always check for tours. We’ve done everything from kayaking and hiking to guided museum tours, river cruises, wine experiences, and airport transfers on this site.
GetYourGuide – A tour marketplace that is growing every day. Compare tours and reviews to find the best one for you. We typically find tours for larger historical sites and museums here.
VoiceMap – Get local experts in your ear. No big tour groups or straining to hear the guide. Download a walking history tour, museum tour, or even a walking food tour, then put your earbuds in and your phone away. This is our new favorite way to see a city!
Walks – This company curates some of the best and most exclusive VIP and small group tour opportunities. We use this company to find extra special experiences.
Devour – This tour company is obsessed with finding the most authentic and tasty food. We think that’s the best approach to a food tour! A food tour usually takes you to multiple locations to try the best foods in town, and they often include drinks. We highly recommend a food tour anytime you visit a new country or region.
DiscoverCars – These car rentals are not only competitively priced, but they are in just about every destination you might be headed to. A bonus: they have a high customer satisfaction rate, and we love that.
