Real Customer Reviews

We have added Real Customer Reviews to our most popular products. These reviews are exclusively from customers who have purchased the product -- this ensures that Viator's reviews maintain their integrity. We only accept reviews from honest-to-goodness actual travelers!

 
 
You can link directly to the customer review section of each Product page by adding "/TR" to then of the Viator Partner site URL.
 
Here is an example:
Product Page: http://www.partner.viator.com/en/XXXX/tours/Las-Vegas/Grand-Canyon-All-American-Helicopter-Tour/d684-2280AAHT

Customer Reviews: http://www.partner.viator.com/en/XXXX/tours/Las-Vegas/Grand-Canyon-All-American-Helicopter-Tour/d684-2280AAHT/TR

Note: Be sure to replace XXXX with YOUR PUID number.

We suggest you add a "customer review" link only in addition to a normal "BOOK NOW" type of Product link.

Important Update for XML/CSV Feed Users

As of 3Feb2009, we have added a number of new fields to Viator XML and CSV feeds. In addition, we now include "city" data for each product.

Here are the newly added fields:

Special - A flag to notify whether the product includes a special offer. If the number is 1 the product has a special.
Duration - The duration of the product
Commences - The departure point of the product.

Marketing Tip: Special Field

The Special field is helpful for promoting products that are On Sale or have Special Offers for a limited time. The details of the Special are contained in the "Introduction" field.

 
 
More information can be found within the Partner Admin Site under Marketing Tools => Links and Feeds

These enhancements come from Partner requests, if you have suggestions of how to improve the Viator Partner site or functions, please let us know by sending an email to Partnersupport@viator.com
