On this episode we are sharing some of our top tips for finding good guided day tours or special experiences when you are traveling. We will walk through how to find them, how to book, and tips for taking city tours. Episode Highlights On your arrival day, don't schedule a guided tour since your plane may not be on time and you may be tired from traveling. If anything, look at doing something impromptu like a hop on hop off bus or just walking around on your own. On your first full day in a city, it is helpful to take a guided tour to get the lay of the land and get recommendations from a local Some common tour booking platforms are Viator and Get Your Guide. Just understand that these are platforms advertising different tour companies or operators, the tours aren't actually run by Viator or Get Your Guide Often you can find the tour operator name on the listing and if you want, you can look up that company and book direct to support small businesses Be sure to read the details of what is included on the tour and whether or not you are going inside points of interest or just seeing it from the outside Pay attention to the meeting points and end point to choose ones that are fairly convenient for you based on where you are staying Make sure you look at the reviews and ratings before booking a tour Look at the number of people that are on the tour. It will often list the maximum number of passengers on a tour. Some tour companies, like Shore Excursions, offers a back-to-ship guarantee, which is great if you are booking cruise excursions Look at what tickets are included Put in the date when you are looking at pricing as it can vary depending on the season, day of the week, etc. Also, go through the full checkout screen to see what additional fees or taxes are added when building your budget Some other tour companies that we like are: Walks (or Take Walks), Livtours (small groups), Devour Tours (food tours), Eating Europe (food tours), Tours by Locals, The Tour Guy, and City Experiences You can also Google "free walking tours" to find pay as you go or tip-based walking tours by locals Always plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before the tour starts to check in Map out the meeting place before you go and know how you will get there Know if you need to be dressed a certain way (headscarf, covered shoulders, etc) or if you can't bring bags/backpacks, etc. Private tours are great for families or if you have mobility issues because it is easier to customize them Don't forget to tip a good tour guide. Group tour tip is typically $5 per person and a private tour is $10-20 per person if it is a half day or full day Have small bills handy for tipping Rick Steves has great audio tours for Europe, GPS My City has self-guided tours, and VoiceMap is another app for self-guided audio tours that are more cost-effective than a guided tour.
In this episode of The UX Consultants Lounge, Kyle welcomes her first-ever client into the Lounge: Susan Mercer. With over 30 years of experience in digital technology—including roles in UI design, product management, and UX research leadership—Susan brings a rare and candid perspective on what it's really like to hire and work with UX consultants.Kyle and Susan share their history of collaborating on two major projects, including one of the largest diary studies Kyle has ever led. From there, they dive into what clients think during the procurement process, how proposals get evaluated, what builds (or erodes) trust, and what makes a consultant stand out.Now that Susan is stepping into UX consulting herself, this conversation also touches on how her years on the client side are shaping how she approaches her new business, Perspecta Consulting.Whether you're a consultant trying to better understand your clients or a UX leader considering bringing in outside help this episode is packed with honest insights and practical advice.Topics include:What really goes on behind the scenes when a client is scoping and approving a UX research projectThe qualities that make a consultant stand out during the selection processWhy trust and communication are everything and what erodes them fastWhat clients wish consultants knew about proposals and pricingHow to set consultants up for success (and what happens when you don't)Susan's transition from research director to independent consultantNotable Quotes"I'm looking for a thought partner—not a salesperson. Someone who's going to help me solve a problem, not just sell me their services… If you tell me everything you can do before even asking what I need, it feels like a car salesman pitch. That's a turnoff.""I like hearing a lot of questions from consultants in that first call. Curiosity is a core skill for a researcher, and I want to see it right away.""If the methodology and reasoning are weak but the price is high, that's when I start to get skeptical.""Consistent communication is key. I'd rather have a little too much communication than be left wondering what's going on."“I want the consultant to make me and my team look good.”Connect with Us:Host: Kyle Soucy | Usable Interface | Linkedin Guest: Susan Mercer | Perspecta Consulting & Linkedin - - - - -Links and Resources Mentioned:Kyle's case study for the Viator diary study project Anna Kop (The UX research subcontractor Kyle hired for the Viator project)Submit a question or story: Have a question or topic that you'd like us to cover in a future episode and/or want to share an anonymous consulting story?

Hyatt is expanding its all-inclusive resort business globally, targeting regions like Europe, North Africa, and Asia, while maintaining an “asset-light” strategy to reduce capital demands. Meanwhile, the TSA is trialing a policy at select U.S. airports that allows travelers to keep their shoes on, as part of broader efforts to streamline security screening with new technologies. Activist investor Starboard Value has acquired a 9% stake in Tripadvisor and may pressure the company to sell off brands like Viator and TheFork to increase shareholder value and simplify its structure for potential acquisition.

Welcome back to the Sunshine Travelers Podcast. Today's episode is a special one — it's not about a dream destination or a luxury getaway, but about the powerful impact travel can have when it's driven by purpose. Today we're talking about a different kind of journey — one that involves hammers, teamwork, and a whole lot of heart. Melissa recently returned from Paraguay, where she joined a Habitat for Humanity build, helping to construct safe and affordable housing for a family in need. This wasn't about sightseeing or sampling local cuisine — it was about rolling up your sleeves, connecting with a community, and making a tangible difference. So in this episode, I'll be turning the mic toward Melissa to hear all about her experience — what the work was really like, and what she brought back with her that no suitcase could hold.

United Airlines and JetBlue have announced a new domestic partnership called “Blue Sky,” enabling customers to earn and redeem frequent-flyer miles across both carriers and access shared loyalty benefits. Tripadvisor CEO Matt Goldberg suggested that Viator might partner with the relaunched Airbnb Experiences, though the fit with Airbnb's curated approach is uncertain. Meanwhile, IATA's Willie Walsh highlighted how airlines are adapting to increasingly restricted global airspace due to geopolitical tensions like those between India and Pakistan and the ongoing closure of Russian airspace.

In this episode, Jess, Pam, and Alex break down their recent spring break trips to Costa Rica—highlighting three unforgettable resorts, two different travel styles, and one shared love for how easy (and affordable!) this country is to explore with points and miles. Flights on Points Alex and Jess both flew Southwest—Jess from Houston and Alex from Salt Lake City—and Pam chose United. Between Southwest Companion Passes, smart rebooking, and good timing, Jess got a great deal for round-trip flights for four people. Pam, always loyal to United for the elite-status perks, flew out of Denver and got a free upgrade to first class on the way home. Where They Stayed: Andaz Papagayo, Rio Perdido, and Tabacón Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort (Hyatt Category 8): A luxury resort with monkeys, pools, and a new beach club you access by boat. Jess scored a Bay View Suite with a birthday upgrade, while Alex's family enjoyed connecting rooms with a rollaway for the kids. Rio Perdido (Hilton SLH): Jess took her family here for a more boutique, off-the-grid experience. Set in the rainforest with private bungalows, thermal rivers, and mud baths, Rio Perdido offered a quieter, more immersive vibe. Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa (Hilton SLH): Pam and Alex's family stayed at this jungle escape near La Fortuna. Booking via Hilton points and free-night certificates, they enjoyed connecting rooms, views of the Arenal Volcano, and unlimited access to the hot springs. Rental Cars, Shuttles, and Driving Tips The Squad breaks down everything you want to know about whether to rent a car or book a shuttle service in Costa Rica and how to decide which option is best for your trip. They even advise on what kind of vehicles to avoid renting and recommend a great woman-owned transportation service if you don't want to drive yourself. Activities: Adventures for All Ages Alex's crew went full-on jungle mode with: A zipline and rappelling canyon tour through Maquique Adventure A night walk with frog and snake sightings (not for the faint of heart!) Exploring La Fortuna Jess and Ella did a canyon adventure at Rio Perdido, complete with a pro photographer tagging along. Meanwhile, everyone raved about thermal pools and monkey spotting! Whether you're team luxury resort or jungle bungalow, this episode proves that Costa Rica is made for points travelers—and families.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, Laurel Greatrix and I explore why today's travelers are seeking out the experience first and planning trips around it. She shares the top types of experiences that travelers are searching for and explains why they allow visitors to explore a destination more deeply. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why today's travelers are increasingly planning trips around experiences rather than destinations, and what this shift means for destination marketers What types of travel experiences are trending right now, from outdoor adventures to immersive, small-group offerings like cooking and craft classes How Viator supports both large and small experience operators and helps them reach wider audiences through powerful distribution partnerships Why authenticity matters in travel experiences and how travelers are seeking unique, non-mass market interactions to go deeper into destinations What roles collaboration and strategic partnerships play in Viator's business model, including the relationship with TripAdvisor and broad third-party distribution The Experience-First Shift in Travel Planning Historically, travel planning centered around destinations, accommodations, and flights. Travelers picked a location, locked in their hotel, and then considered what activities to do once on site. But according to Laurel Greatrix, Vice President of Marketing at Viator, the world's largest travel experiences marketplace, that approach is rapidly evolving. Increasingly, travelers are first setting their sights on unique and memorable experiences and building their trips around them. What sets the experiences sector apart isn't just its offline-heavy operation or diversity, but the sheer pace of its growth. Since the pandemic, demand has soared for outdoor and active experiences, with destinations like Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and Banff seeing impressive spikes in bookings. Simultaneously, activities such as cooking classes and craft workshops are seeing consistent double- and even triple-digit growth rates. These trends show travelers craving meaningful engagement with destinations, a trend accelerated by the global prioritization of health, wellness, and authentic encounters. Authenticity and Personalization “Authentic” is a buzzword often used in travel, but as Laurel points out, it means something different to every traveler. Viator's data shows that while classic attractions, think the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower, remain bucket-list essentials, growth is skewing toward bespoke, local, and hands-on experiences. Travelers increasingly seek opportunities to connect with local culture, meet passionate guides, and try their hand at activities like perfume making in Paris or chocolate crafting in Belgium. For marketers and operators, this means a growing need to communicate what makes their experiences unique, accessible, and “authentic.” Reviews, detailed product descriptions, and visually rich content can help set expectations and attract customers seeking depth over breadth. Collaboration in the Experiences Ecosystem Viator's success is rooted in collaboration, internally and through partnerships. Its acquisition by TripAdvisor shows how powerful collaborations can transform an entire market segment. By powering bookings across thousands of partner sites ranging from airlines to travel agencies and even Amazon, Viator helps even the smallest operators achieve global reach. Collaboration also extends to working with destinations and other experience providers. By joining forces, they can disperse visitor traffic, reduce overcrowding at major sites, and promote lesser-known experiences that contribute to local economies and more sustainable tourism practices.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade that rocked the NBA world. (1:00) Bo starts the show by trying to compute this massive trade and ask why the Dallas Mavericks would trade a 25 year old superstar, that basketball fans actually pay to see play? (7:47) Bo also makes sure to point out that Anthony Davis is still a great player and should be given some credit instead of being crushed online. (20:56) Bo then looks at the Los Angeles Lakers perspective, where LeBron James now is no longer the centerpiece of the team, and why Rob Pelinka had to hide this trade from Rich Paul. (29:02) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving litigation against sports gambling, DeepSeek, and Bryan Johnson's weird medical test with his son. (38:31) Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the craziest thing you've heard a coach say in the locker room.

On today's episode, the guys start off by talking about Christmas after Domonique sees Bomani's festive Christmas hat. (0:30) After discussing the cold weather, which could be a big variable for College Football and the NFL playoffs (4:24), the guys transition to the news of the United Healthcare CEO who was murdered in NYC this past week. They breakdown the details of the assassination and how it sounded like hit job from aa movie. That inevitably leads to a conversation about health care, capitalism, and market economies in 2024. (8:54) After the break, the guys come back to have a discussion about Jameis Winston who has been pure comedy the last few weeks. What in the hell is going on with that man?! (28:00) From there they talk about other assassinations involving celebrities like Tupac and Biggie, and also bring up Joe and Hunter Biden and whether or not you would pardon your own son. (38:05) And finally, Bomani asks Domonique why he prefers the Eagles vs the Lions when it comes to the Super Bowl contender for the NFC. (53:20) . . .

In today's episode, Bomani Jones recaps everything that went down this weekend in College Football and the NFL. He starts the show by sharing his frustration with the current Thanksgiving week schedule in the NFL. Having the Thursday games, along with the Friday game, completely devalues the Sunday slate. (0:50) That leads Bo to breakdown the one good game on Sunday; Bengals vs Steelers, where we have two teams going in completely different directions this season. (4:30) Then Bomani discusses the Bills and the Ravens which includes a conversation about the MVP Award. The Bills beat up the 49ers with Josh Allen winning the game for his team, while the Ravens lost to the Eagles and Lamar Jackson was not at his best. Lamar wasn't the reason his team won or lost but at some point this season you have to be the reason either way. (6:08) From there, Bomani finally transitions to this wild weekend in College Football that involved way too many flags being planted. His take stands firm on the idea of outlawing Flag Planting because it leads to fighting. And if fighting is allowed, then flag planting is cool but this weekend showed that whenever an opposing team plants a flag, it automatically leads to a fight. It's the height of disrespect, and disrespect will not be tolerated. (17:33) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and Bomani answers three voicemail questions about anything.

Bomani Jones is joined by Joel Anderson, of The Ringer, who starts the show by revisiting the “greatest Texas athlete you've ever seen in person” question from an earlier episode. Then Bomani reveals he's been saving a topic for Joel, why is Ne-Yo is the Big-12 Championship Game halftime performer? The guys wonder if there was literally anyone else who was available to perform. With the news of Joe Douglas getting fired, Bomani and Joel have a conversation about Aaron Rodgers and Jet's owner Woody Johnson. The guys wonder whether or not Tyrod Taylor should replace Rodgers and also if Woody Johnson is actually good at anything? And finally, the guys reflect on the 20th Anniversary of the Malice at the Palace. Where were they when it happened and how has their reaction to it changed from then to now? . . .

Bomani Jones is joined by Nate Tice, of Yahoo Sports, to discuss all things NFL. Bomani catches up with Nate, the pair discuss the current state of weather between NYC and Las Vegas, and realize just how old they are with this conversation. (0:35) That inevitably leads to a discussion about cold weather football and how smaller players, especially quarterbacks, are not built for the cold vs bigger guys. From there, Bomani asks Nate to help him decide whether or not the Steelers are legitimately good this season. Nate breaks down their defense, offensive live, and admits that even with Russell Wilson as quarterback this team can make some noise in the playoffs. (7:51) After briefly touching on the Chargers and the Bills, the guys transition to Anthony Richardson's performance this past weekend. (16:22) They discuss why the Colts can't give up on him, which leads to a conversation about former big boy QB's like Daunte Culpepper and Donovan McNabb who have succeeded in the league. (33:35) Finally after reminiscing about Mike Vick's prime, Bomani ends the episode by asking Nate to speak praises about his Detroit Lions. (53:20) . . .

Bomani Jones kicks off today's episode by reveling in the Detroit Lions victory of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 52-6 beat down helped prove that Bomani's Lions are the best team in the NFL and Bo asks the question why Doug Pederson still has his job following that loss? (0:50) From there, Bomani highlights the Bills defeating the Chiefs from two perspectives. The first being, the Chiefs finally met their match after barely squeaking by with victories over the last few weeks, which reminded Bomani of Tim Tebow. Secondly, the Bills win will create the narrative of Josh Allen for MVP even though he hasn't been as good as Lamar Jackson. (3:40) Then Bomani transitions to the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight earlier this weekend which ultimately ended up as a disappointing event all together. Bomani explains why you automatically lost by even deciding to watch the event, why the fight was so mediocre, and what this says about the sport of boxing. (16:04) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your Voicemails on the dumbest person you've worked on a group project together with.

Bomani Jones is joined by David Aldridge, of The Athletic, to discuss his new book called “The Basketball 100.” The guys begin the conversation by talking about the process of making the book and some of the forgotten bucket getters in the league like Elgin Baylor and David Bing. (1:00) They also examine the 1970s which could go down as the most forgotten and democratic era of the NBA. From there, David brings up dynasties and it leads Bomani to ask him whether he prefers dominance or parity following his conversation with Mina Kimes earlier this week. (9:35) Then Bomani goes through the list of 100 players and asks David his thought process on them while writing this book. Players like Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Irving, and whether or not Scottie Pippen was underrated or overrated. (28:50) And finally, the guys chat about Moses Malone's boring game, Jimmy Butler being #99 on the list, and why Charles Barkley was easily the best player on the iconic Dream Team.

Bomani Jones is joined by Mina Kimes, ESPN NFL Analyst and Host of the Mina Kimes Show with Lenny, to discuss all things NFL. But first, Bomani tells Mina about his weekend which involved a Puzzles convention and the pair chat about their love and competitiveness for all things puzzles. (1:00) Then after hearing about the news regarding Anthony Richardson becoming the starter again, they breakdown this move and what it means for the Indianapolis Colts moving forward. (19:15) After briefly teasing it on social media, Mina and Bomani argue about what they prefer in sports, Parity or Dominance? Bomani argues that he loves dominance in most sports whereas Mina prefers parity especially in football. (32:04) And finally, they somehow begin discussing the dominance of the white defensive players in the NFL and wonder if we are in the midst of a renaissance at those positions. (40:00) . . .

Bomani Jones kicks off today's show by discussing the slippery slope that is losing. (1:00) He begins the discussion on losers by talking about the Dallas Cowboys who continue to look really bad. With Dak Prescott out for the year, the Cowboys future is bleak behind Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. Plus Jerry Jones is crashing out after his stadium caused CeeDee Lamb to drop a touchdown catch. Are the Cowboys too far gone to try and salvage this season? (3:15) Then Bomani briefly brings up the New York Jets who are also down bad and unsalvageable, before finally talking abut the Winners for this week. (13:45) Are the Chiefs the least impressive 9-0 team of all time? (15:55) And does this week confirm that the Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFL following their comeback win over the Houston Texans? (19:15) From there, Bomani speaks on the recent news in the NBA and why he wishes there was more physicality. After the scuffle between Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bomani wishes there was more of a fight following that incident. And with Chet Holmgren's injury, Bomani sends flowers to one of his favorite players who embodies the dog mentality. (23:07) Finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and Bomani answers your Voicemail questions.

Before they get into hoops, they first discuss vacation destinations and their mutual love/hate for Detroit. (1:15) From there they kick things off in the east with the biggest question heading into the season. Will the Celtics repeat? They breakdown Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Browns' offseason, and whether or not they have enough motivation to win it again. (11:50) Staying in the East, the guys briefly talk about Karl-Anthony Towns and if he'll thrive in New York, and who will win the trade when it's all said and done. (31:25) They finally transition to the West to examine if the Nuggets window might have officially closed, why Anthony Edwards will continue to shine this year, and where Cooper Flagg could end up.

Joel Anderson joins The Right Time with Bomani Jones to first clarify their statements regarding Shedeur Sanders from the last episode together. From there they give a message to Travis Hunter, who injured himself last game, to stick with one position. Everyone knows it's really cool to play on both sides of the field but you're doing two scholarships worth of work for just one scholarship. (4:50) Then the guys react to the clip of Jerry Jones crashing out on local radio following the big loss to the Detroit Lions. (21:26) And following the news of Amari Cooper being traded to the Bills, Joel and Bomani discuss the Browns and how bad Deshaun Watson has been this season. (35:38) Finally the guys somehow start talking about QB's they were wrong about which leads to conversation about why players should stay in college for longer. (46:15) . . .

Clicking a button to book vacation tours might feel normal today, but Rod Cuthbert helped create that future through his company, Viator. Founded in the early days of the internet boom, Viator emerged almost by accident from a failed partnership with another company. As online booking grew, Rod correctly predicted that travel agents would become outmoded, and began working with local providers to help travelers book anything from skip-the-line tours of the Sistine Chapel to cooking lessons in a Thai kitchen. Viator was purchased in 2014 by Tripadvisor for $200 million–and remains a top virtual destination for anyone headed to a real one.This episode was produced by Devan Schwartz with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

Bomani Jones starts today's show by recapping the Cowboys vs Lions matchup. (0:50) He reiterates his Day 1 fandom of the Detroit Lions, while reveling in the blow out win over the Dallas Cowboys. Bomani explains that he had Super Bowl aspirations for this team right until the Aidan Hutchinson injury, which has certainly hurt the teams morale. Speaking of morale, the Cowboys look terrible following that loss and Bo discusses why they showed zero fight in that game. (9:30) From there, Bomani transitions to Nick Sirianni and the Eagles, who despite the win over the Browns, have a coach who should be fired. Bo stresses his disdain for bringing your kids up to the podium during a press conference especially when they're being used as human shields. (16:40) Then Bomani briefly talks about Lincoln Riley who has lead the USC Trojans to three straight losses. And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard stories and your Al Bundy voicemail stories.
