“I usually don't share reviews but felt I need to share my experience for the solo travelers. I booked 2 excursions through Viator for my once in a lifetime trip to Bora Bora to celebrate my military retirement. First tour was good. I didn't think anything about it when I was notified of the time change. When my 2nd tour was canceled I began to wonder. Hours prior to my tour I received this message "Thank you very much for your booking but we need to cancel our tour tonight, we are so sorry, the problem is about our unique guide for that tour he get the covid, he have…”

3.Antalya / Kemer : Mega Star Party Boat Trip w/ Lunch & Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $12Best value

Ride the Mega Star from Antalya to Kemer for swimming stops at Phaselis, Kiris, and Cennet Bay. Enjoy lunch, a foam party, music, hotel transfers, and family activities. Captain Ali bin Express and his crew add plenty of entertainment, while drinks cost extra.

“The tour was perfectly organized- the shuttle came on time, we did not have to wait anywhere. The ship was big and comfortable- everybody was able to find a seat or even change it on different decks:) The Captain was great as well as his crew:) it was so exciting to watch them dance and join the party:) The only thing one should keep in mind is that it is possible to land on condition you can jump from the ship and swim to the shore. The views are stunning:)”

4.Dubai VIP Dhow Cruise Celeste Enchanting Night Under the Stars

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · from $24

Spend about two hours aboard the Celeste catamaran from Umm Hurair 1, with an international buffet, welcome juice, live singer, international music, and Tanoura dance. Pickup is offered, vegetarian requests are accommodated, and the group can reach 150 people.

“I was really disappointed with this experience. The cruise was overcrowded, lots of small kids and the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than relaxing or luxurious. The food was below expectations—limited variety and not very enjoyable, especially if you’re not a fan of curry and rice. The waiters were nice and tried to please everyone. Thank you !”

7.Day Trip to Tatacoa Desert (Horseback, Boat, Stargazing, ..)

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3 reviews · 9 hours · from $265

From Villavieja, ride horseback through Tatacoa’s tropical dry forest, cool off in a mineral pool, cruise the Magdalena River with a local guide, then walk the gray and ochre desert at sunset. Guide Maristela is praised for her care and clear explanations. The private tour runs about nine hours.

“La nostra guida Maristela è stata premurosa e gentilissima. Molto preparata ci ha spiegato tutto nella parte di passeggiata a piedi nel deserto che è meraviglioso. La passeggiata a cavallo vale per la sensazione di quiete che si prova….anche perché il nostro accompagnatore in questa fase non ha proferito parola. Gli autisti dei tuk tuk sono simpaticissimi ed è stato spettacolare anche il giro in lancia sul fiume Magdalena. Anche qui guida preparatissima. Eravamo troppo stanchi per chiudere con l’osservatorio ma Maristela ci ha offerto un frappè di caffè buonissimo! Bella esperienza.”
