Viator Scraper: Tours, Activities, Prices and Ratings

Viator Scraper turns Viator into structured travel data. Get tour and activity listings for seven major destinations and six tour categories, including prices, ratings, review counts, availability, images and source breadcrumbs, plus optional full product page detail with descriptions, complete image lists, recent reviews and itinerary stops. Pick a destination and category, or paste Viator listing URLs, then export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results straight into your app through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• Two ways to find data. Pick a destination and category preset (7 destinations, 6 categories), or paste Viator destination, category or search-result listing URLs directly. No need to build URLs by hand.
• Filters and sort work everywhere. Keyword, price range, currency, minimum rating, minimum reviews and availability all narrow and reorder results in both search mode and URL mode, including a pasted URL's results.
• Optional detail enrichment. Turn on Fetch details to open each product's own page for its full description, complete image list, up to 10 recent reviews and itinerary stops. Rows are still saved when a product page can't be opened.
• Nothing lost on a failed run. Every matching row is written to the dataset as soon as it's found, so a run that stops partway through still keeps what it already collected.
• Deduplicated pagination. Listing pages are walked until Max items is reached or a page repeats an earlier page's results, and the same product is never saved twice.
• Cost control built in. Max items and Max pages cap a run before it starts, and detail enrichment is billed only for the product pages that are successfully enriched.

Use Cases

• Travel research and itinerary planning: compare tours and activities in a destination by price, rating and availability before booking.
• Price and catalog monitoring: track how listed prices, availability and review counts for a set of products change over time.
• Market research for tour operators: see how bus tours, walking tours, day trips and attractions in a destination are priced and reviewed.
• Content and affiliate sites: pull activity names, images, descriptions and ratings to build destination guides or comparison pages.
• Outreach and lead lists: collect tour and operator names with source context for a destination or category to prioritize outreach.

Data You Get

Sample shape: values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live record.

Field	Example
name	"Boston Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour"
productCode	"5892HOHO"

addressCountryName	"United States" (parsed from the page's breadcrumb, when available)
offerPrice / offerCurrency	42.5 / "USD"
availability	"InStock"
priceValidUntil	"2027-01-01" (when present)
ratingValue / exactRating	4.6 / 4.6 (both read from the same source rating)
bestRating / worstRating	5 / 1
reviewCount	1280
description	full activity description (when Fetch details is on)
images	all product image URLs (when Fetch details is on)
reviews	up to 10 recent reviews with author, rating, date and text (when Fetch details is on)
itineraryStopCount / itineraryStops	stop count and stop names (when Fetch details is on)

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: search (destination and category preset) or url (paste Viator listing links).
2. Fill in the fields for that mode: destination and category for search mode, or one or more listing URLs for URL mode.
3. Optionally set keyword, price, currency, rating, review and availability filters, choose a sort order, and turn on Fetch details for full product pages.
4. Set Max items and Max pages to control run size and cost, then click Start.

  "maxPrice": 150,
  "maxItems": 30,
  "maxPages": 0
}

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/viator-com-scraper").call(
    run_input={"mode": "search", "destination": "boston", "category": "bus_tours", "maxItems": 20}
)
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["name"], row["offerPrice"], row["offerCurrency"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/viator-com-scraper').call({
  mode: 'search',
  destination: 'boston',
  category: 'bus_tours',
  maxItems: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe a capped subset of saved rows into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each row, not the full JSON. Each row becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where rows should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Plan Requirement

This actor bills per saved result, plus a small start charge per run and, when Fetch details is switched on, a charge for each product page that is successfully enriched. The Pricing tab shows current rates. Residential proxy is selected by default; it is recommended for this site, since other proxy groups can return fewer usable pages or get blocked.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay a small start charge per run and a fee per saved result, plus a detail-enrichment charge for each row that is successfully enriched when Fetch details is on. The Pricing tab shows current rates. Use Max items and Max pages to cap the cost of a run.

Is it legal to scrape Viator?

This actor collects only publicly available tour and activity listings. You are responsible for how you use it: follow Viator's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Reviews, photos and descriptions may be subject to third-party rights.

Do the filters and sort also apply when I paste a URL?

Yes. Keyword, price range, currency, minimum rating, minimum reviews, availability and sort order all apply to search mode and to a pasted URL's results alike. Only Destination and Category are search-mode presets; they pick the listing page that search mode walks and are ignored in URL mode, where the pasted URL is the source instead.

Can I schedule recurring runs, or get only new results?

You can schedule the actor from the Schedules tab to run automatically, but each run collects matching rows from scratch. There is no built-in incremental or resume mode that skips rows a previous run already returned; deduplicate on productCode on your side if you run this repeatedly against the same source.

Why did my run return 0 rows instead of an error?

URL mode needs at least one URL: if Mode is url and no URL is provided, the run completes with an empty dataset. A destination and category combination, or a keyword and filter set, with no matching live listings can also legitimately return 0 rows.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

If a listing page can't be loaded at all, even after retries and one proxy session rotation, the run stops with an error rather than reporting an empty result as if nothing was there. Rows already saved before the failure stay in the dataset. Try again, or switch the proxy group under Connection to residential.

Does URL mode work with a single product page link?

Paste a Viator destination, category or search-result listing URL, a page that shows a list of tours. A standalone product page on its own does not produce a row for that product; turn on Fetch details instead to pull full product-page fields (description, all images, reviews, itinerary) for the rows already found on a listing page.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push a summary of saved rows into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
