Things To Do: bookable experiences and the best places, by trip style

Enter where and when, who is going and the kind of trip: family, adrenaline, nightlife, food and wine, culture, nature, romantic and more. It returns bookable experiences from Airbnb Experiences and Viator (tours, shark diving, paragliding, wine tours, pub crawls, boat trips) with from-prices, ratings, review counts and links, ranked by rating and reviews within each style.

It also returns the top-rated places to visit for those styles from Google Maps (beaches, viewpoints, gardens, museums) with ratings, review counts and opening hours, so free and walk-in sights sit next to the ones you book.

What you get

Field	What it holds
Bookable experiences	Title, style tags, from-price and basis, rating, reviews, duration, source and booking link.
Places to visit	Top-rated sights for your styles with hours, rating and reviews.

What people use it for

• Travellers: What is worth doing, and booking, for your kind of trip.

Output

Each result is one row in the run's dataset (download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the API). An example row (values shortened):

{
  "kind": "experience",
  "rank": 1,
  "title": "Example penguin colony and cape day tour",
  "styleTags": [
    "family",
    "nature"
  ],
  "priceFrom": 810.0,
  "currency": "ZAR",
  "priceBasis": "per person",
  "rating": 4.9,
  "reviewCount": 3814,
  "source": "Viator",
  "url": "https://example.com/tour"
}

Example row from a real Cape Town search on 19 October 2026 (30 experiences, 30 places, 34 requests); the title and link were replaced. SUMMARY records each source, its search link and what it returned.

Pricing

• $0.49 per completed search, experiences and places together.
• A search that returns nothing is free.

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

Job	Cost
One destination	$0.49
Five cities	$2.45
Nothing found	$0

On Apify's Scale and Business plans the per-event prices are lower (Store discounts). Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached: you never pay more than that.

Tips

• Pick one to three styles; each adds its own searches.
• From-prices are per person unless the row says otherwise.

Use it through the API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/things-to-do").call(run_input={"destination": "Lisbon, Portugal", "startDate": "2027-03-15", "endDate": "2027-03-20", "tripStyles": ["food-and-wine", "culture"], "currency": "EUR"})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('zaiq/things-to-do').call({"destination": "Lisbon, Portugal", "startDate": "2027-03-15", "endDate": "2027-03-20", "tripStyles": ["food-and-wine", "culture"], "currency": "EUR"});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

HTTP (one call, results back)

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~things-to-do/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"destination": "Lisbon, Portugal", "startDate": "2027-03-15", "endDate": "2027-03-20", "tripStyles": ["food-and-wine", "culture"], "currency": "EUR"}'

Integrations and schedules

• Schedules: run it every hour, day or week from the Apify Console (Schedules) and keep a history of results.
• Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable: connect it through Apify's integrations, or send each finished run to a webhook.
• Datasets: results stay in the run's dataset; export them or read them by API whenever you need them.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. The agent can find this Actor and run it for you: ask it for "What adrenaline activities can two of us book in Cape Town next month, with prices?". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

Limits

• No login, CAPTCHA solving or forged challenge tokens; a source can withhold public data, and the run says so.
• Prices are public snapshots for your dates and party, not held reservations; check again before booking.
• Viator from-prices are general, not for your dates; Airbnb date labels are listing availability, not reserved slots.
• Age rules and meeting points are on each booking page.

FAQ

Does it book?

No. Each row links to its booking page.

Why both experiences and places?

The best things to do include free sights; they come from Google Maps with opening hours.
