Sightseeing, Tours

Whether you are a business traveler focused primarily on the business aspect of your journey or you are visiting a friend or relative on vacation, you probably haven't given any forethought to what you might like to see or tour during your free time.

Once at your destination, you don't really want to spend a lot of time researching "fun" because your time is limited. The result? Without adequate time to look at all activities, you may miss a really interesting and fun thing to do because you simply didn't know it existed, you didn't plan enough time to be able to include that activity or it's not available on the days when you are!

Doing your "homework" before leaving can greatly improve your trip, be much more convenient as well as save you some money like purchasing multi-admission passes in advance (for cities where they are available - See Go Card below). Sometimes, to book a popular tour or cruise in advance can be reassuring both regarding availability and desired time and date. This is especially true for entertainment like a show you would like to see.

These sites are quick and easy to use to check out popular tourist activities, especially if you don't have time to read any travel-planning guidebooks in advance.
