'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit" Movie Set Tours from Viator.com
'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit" Movie Set Tours from Viator.com

Viator has been involved in the tours sector longer than anyone in online travel, and that most definitely brings a certain set of perks we deliver right to the traveler. - Ms. Barrie Seidenberg, CEO and President of Viator

Post this

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2014 -- Ever dreamt of touring the Vatican without the crowds, stepping beyond the velvet ropes into secret rooms at Versailles, or enjoying the raucous revelry of Mardi Gras from a private balcony in New Orleans? Viator.com – the leading resource for researching and booking tours and activities worldwide – and its global team of insiders are making those travel dreams a reality. Thanks to long-standing and unrivaled partnerships with the best tour operators everywhere, Viator has a collection of travel experiences – many you can’t book anywhere else – that feature “typically-reserved-for-the-rich-and-famous” exclusive benefits like:

• Unprecedented access to VIP, private and off-limits areas
• Early-morning and after-hours private tours of the most iconic attractions (no crowds)
• The ability to skip the lines
• Opportunities you didn’t even know were possible – like watching a baseball game with a Yankees legend or holding a precious panda cub
• World-class expert guides to lead the way

“Viator has been involved in the tours sector longer than anyone in online travel, and that most definitely brings a certain set of perks we deliver right to the traveler,” said Ms. Barrie Seidenberg, CEO and President of Viator. “Insider experiences like after-hours-access at an iconic attraction like the Vatican have historically been reserved for celebrities and heads of State. But our fantastic team has worked very hard with our partners to bring these exclusive opportunities well-within reach – both in terms of ease of booking and price – for all travelers.”

TOP VIPs and Exclusives

As travel has become much more of a considered purchase with travelers wanting to make every moment (and every dollar) count, the popularity of Viator’s VIP and Exclusives category has soared through sales on Viator.com and the Viator Tours & Activities App, and many count among the Viator tours most likely to sell out. The following listing is a collection of some of Viator’s most popular and most exclusive experiences for travel in 2014.

Europe

• Viator VIP: Sistine Chapel Private Viewing and Small-Group Tour of the Vatican's Secret Rooms(a Viator exclusive) includes entry through a reserved entranceway, a rare private tour of the Sistine Chapel after its closed to the public (with guide commentary - normally forbidden!) and a visit to hidden corridors and secret rooms that are usually closed to the public like the Niccoline Chapel or the Bramante Staircase.
• Viator VIP: Palace of Versailles Small-Group Tour with Private Viewing of the Royal Quarters includes a private viewing of the palace’s Royal Quarters, priority entrance through a reserved door, access to off-limits private rooms like Louis XVI’s library, and first entry to the State Apartments and Hall of Mirrors.
