Our take
Finding the best tours when traveling can be tough, with an enormous amount of marketplaces and conflicting information making the process overwhelming. Whilst comparison sites exist for single-day tours to help make the booking process easier, no such solution has currently arisen for multi-day adventure experiences.
TourRadar provides an online multi-day tour comparison marketplace, partnering with tour providers and marketplaces to list a variety of multi-day adventure experiences such as hikes, safaris, festivals, and sailing trips. The marketplace includes a variety of booking customization features such as a 'create your own' adventure option, as well as offering sustainable travel guidance and 24/7 customer service.
Whilst the company will face significant competition from travel marketplace giants such as Kiwi and Tripadvisor, TourRadar has been wise to find its niche in multi-day tours and experiences. Through its user-friendly customization and comparison features, the company aims to reduce the logistical complexity of booking multi-day tours and increase access to lesser-known experiences.
