9 Best Tour Booking Sites of 2026

GetYourGuide takes the top spot because it pairs a very large catalog with the simplest cancellation promise on this list. Its about page says it offers over 150,000 experiences in 12,000 cities and has sold over 200 million tickets, and that you can enjoy free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance, no questions asked. Support runs 24/7 in several languages. Originals by GetYourGuide is its own line of curated tours, such as early entry to the Sistine Chapel. The site lists ratings and review counts on each tour, and a currency switch lets visitors outside the US see prices in dollars. Viator has the larger catalog, at over 300,000 experiences, and Klook offers more rewards and transport products for Asia. Some operators set their own rules, so a listing can still carry a stricter policy than the 24-hour standard. For most city trips in Europe and North America, GetYourGuide is the easiest place to start.

Viator ranks second because it has the deepest catalog on this list. Its partner pages describe over 300,000 global experiences in 2,500 destinations, backed by over 1,000,000 reviews. That breadth is the main reason to search it, especially in smaller destinations where other marketplaces carry only a few tours. Viator's partner documentation says the vast majority of products fall under its standard, flexible cancellation policy, which reads: for a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The other two policy types are custom and all sales final, and every deadline is set in the local supplier's time zone, which matters if you book from home. Viator's consumer pages blocked our automated checks from our location, so we could not confirm a US dollar price quote and we scored its value conservatively. GetYourGuide edges it on the clarity of its cancellation promise, but Viator is the better second search for any trip.

Klook ranks third and is the strongest pick for trips in Asia. Beyond tours and attraction tickets, its help center covers Japan Rail Pass, Japan, Korea and Taiwan trains, Thailand and Vietnam ferries, airport transfers, eSIMs and the Klook Pass, so one app can handle much of a trip. Every completed booking earns KlookCash: 0.10% to 0.80% of the amount paid at the Explorer tier, rising to 0.48% to 4% at Platinum, and the balance expires 365 days after you earn it. Klook sells a Satisfaction Guarantee upgrade that can refund up to 100% of a booking that did not meet expectations, subject to proof, though the upgrade fee itself is not refunded. Activities carry one of three policies: free cancellation, which you can request yourself from the Bookings page; conditional cancellation, handled by support; or no cancellation. The US site shows prices in dollars. Travelers sticking to Europe will usually find more choice on GetYourGuide or Viator.

Airbnb Experiences ranks fourth and is the easiest option for travelers already booking a stay on Airbnb. Experiences sit in the same app as homes and services, are priced per guest and show ratings and review counts on each listing. Airbnb's guest help article says most services and experiences use a 1-day cancellation policy, so you can cancel until 24 hours before the start, in the experience's local time, for a full refund. Some hosts may choose a 3-day policy instead. You see the refund amount before you finalize a cancellation, and eligible refunds arrive within 10 business days. If the host cancels, you are refunded in full, and the Major Disruptive Events Policy can override a listing's terms when a large-scale event stops the activity. The weakness is scale: Airbnb does not publish a catalog size, and outside large cities the choice is thinner than on GetYourGuide or Viator.

Headout ranks fifth and has the best documented pay-later option on this list. Its Book Now, Pay Later feature confirms your booking with no upfront charge and bills your saved card just before the cancellation window ends; Headout's help center says the price is the same whether you pay now or later, and it sends reminders 12 to 24 hours before the charge. Headout's November 2025 announcement says pay later is live across all cancellable experiences in 150+ cities. Each listing uses either a flexible policy, with a full refund if you cancel 24 to 72 hours before the start, or a strict policy with no cancellations or changes. Headout says it has served 57 million+ guests from 196 countries across 400+ cities. The limits are clear too: pay later does not apply to experiences starting in less than 4 days, and those bookings cannot be rescheduled for now. Its catalog is more curated and smaller than GetYourGuide's.

Tiqets ranks sixth and is the specialist for museum and attraction entry rather than guided tours. Its about page lists 70M+ tickets sold, 6K+ venue partners and 5M+ app downloads, and says Expedia Group acquired the company at the beginning of 2026. Tickets are mobile and usually instant, with skip-the-line entry at many venues, and iOS users can book from Apple Maps. Tiqets advertises flexible cancellation options on all venues, but its terms say cancellation is only possible if the product description mentions it, and some venues allow no changes after purchase, so check each ticket. If a supplier cannot deliver your tickets, it has a 48-hour window, after which your order is refunded fully. Refunds can be requested until 28 days after the ticket date. Travelers who want a guide, a food tour or a day trip will find a wider choice on GetYourGuide, Viator or Headout.

Context Travel ranks seventh because it costs much more than a marketplace, but it has the highest guide standard on this list. Context says over 80% of its guides hold a master's or PhD, and its FAQ says small-group tours are always 10 travelers or fewer. Private tours are priced at a flat fee for up to two people, and Context matches you with an expert based on what you tell it when booking. On its Rome page, the Signature Colosseum Tour costs US$189 per person in a group and US$662 private, and all transactions are in dollars. Context says it has run over 250,000 tours in 80+ cities. Its cancellation terms are the strictest of the tour sites here: 100% refund or credit 30 or more days out, 50% from 29 days to 48 hours, and no refund within 48 hours, with venue tickets non-refundable. Book Context for a few deep tours, and use a marketplace for the rest.

Withlocals ranks eighth and fills a gap the big marketplaces leave: every tour is private. Its homepage says it is always just you and your local host, with no strangers or groups, and that hosts tailor the experience to your wishes. City pages list dozens of options in places such as Lisbon, Paris, Amsterdam and Athens. Withlocals publishes the most detailed refund rules on this list. You get a 24-hour grace period after booking to cancel for a full refund, including the service fee, as long as the tour is at least 24 hours away; last-minute bookings get a 1-hour window instead. After that, you can recover the experience price minus the service fee until 7 days before the tour, and nothing after. The catalog is far smaller than GetYourGuide's, and prices showed in euros from our location, so compare costs carefully. Book Withlocals when a private guide matters more than choice.

Fever ranks last as a tour site but earns a place for evening plans. Its app is built around events: Candlelight Concerts, music festivals, immersive exhibitions such as the Van Gogh Experience, and a smaller tourism and attractions section. City pages cover places such as New York, London, Paris, Madrid and Mexico City, so travelers can find a concert or show in the city they are visiting. Support runs 24/7 in 11 languages by email, live chat or call. The trade-off is flexibility. Fever's terms say its tickets are not refundable, and that event organizers' policies prevent exchanges or refunds by default. If an event is postponed, moved or significantly changed, you must contact Fever by the Monday after the event to request a voucher for a later date or another option. For daytime tours and day trips, GetYourGuide, Viator and Headout offer far more choice and better cancellation terms.
