“Legoland itself was great. Highly recommend for families but not viator. There was a glitch in their system and my tickets were wrong and there was no help. Legoland said they would change them but needed viator too and viator help and support were definitely not that helpful. Book direct with legoland”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,820 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $145

Guides such as Cameron, Phil, and Sheila have earned praise for lively storytelling.

“I had no expectations going into this. My objective was to avoid the inconvenience of driving myself. I’ve wanted to visit Canterbury for a very long time, and the Dover Cliffs are a marvel. Usually these types of tours are targeted towards the retired. I was surprised to discover I was not the only one below the age of, say, …45. Would I do it again? Probably not. Time spent at each location was much too short; especially our time at Canterbury. Visiting Dover was a joke. Much too short to even 10 minutes. The view of the cliffs was barely visible. Why not make a visit to Dover Castle…”

Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

10.Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness and Glencoe Day Trip from Edinburgh

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,793 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $74

Leave Edinburgh at 8:00 a.m. for a 13-hour coach trip through Perthshire and Cairngorms National Park to Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, and Glencoe. A local English-speaking driver-guide such as Alan, Terry, Ben, or Graham provides history and humor. The optional Loch Ness cruise and castle visit cost £30 per adult, cash only.

“The driver and guide were excellent. However, according to what the itinerary says, our first stop was supposed to be the hairy coos. It actually was our LAST stop which was annoying since it was dark and the photos weren’t great. It actually seemed as if they did the entire itinerary backwards from what was shown on the tour schedule on viator. Also, there was no mention that the boat ride & castle visit was CASH ONLY. That was very inconvenient especially for people that needed to have a currency exchange. And HAIRY COO food was CASH ONLY, also not disclosed on viator’s site when i signed up.”
