How we ranked it

We read each excursion's public star rating and review count on Viator, Tripadvisor and GetYourGuide on October 15, 2026. Viator's counts include Tripadvisor reviews, so we used one Tripadvisor or Viator figure per tour plus GetYourGuide as a separate pool, then weighted by the number of reviews so a handful of perfect scores can't outrank hundreds of strong ones. We don't copy reviews: follow the links to read them on each site. No operator paid to be listed or ranked.
