- Viator.com - Best one-stop shopping site for all sorts of activities, walking tours, bus tours, escorted day trips, and other excursions. It is actually a clearinghouse for many local tour companies and outfitters, and since it gets a bulk-rate deal on pricing (and takes only a token fee for itself), you can actually sometimes book an activity through Viator for less than it would cost to buy the same exact tour from the tour company itself. (I once booked a Dublin pub crawl via Viator and later discovered that I saved about $1.50; also, the tour turned out to be sold-out, and they were turning away the folks in front of me in line, but since I had a pre-booked voucher I got in.)Partner
- Contexttravel.com - This bespoke walking tour company doesn't even call its 200 tour leaders "guides." It calls them "docents"—perhaps because most guides are academics and specialists in their fields: history professors, archeologists, PhDs, art historians, artists, etc. Groups are miniscule (often six people maximum), and most docents can be booked for private guiding sessions as well. They aren't always the cheapest tours, but they are invariably the best. People rave about Context.Partner

- Freewalkingtouritalia.com - Basic walking tours that cost... "name your own price." The guides work for "tips," much of which is turned over to their boss, so you end up "tipping" them €15 to €20 per person anyway, meaning the tours aren't actually free (though, given their incentive, most guides put on a good show and give a good tour) .

- intrepidtravel.com - Intrepid Travel is one of only two only major tour outfits I know (along with G Adventures) of that makes a concerted effort to travel like real independent travelers—small groups (usually a max of 8 or 12 people), staying in mom-and-pop accommodations and getting around by public transport rather than a big tour bus. This fantastic Australian company marries an independent travel style with the expertise of truly knowledgeable guides and a focus on the cultural experience of travel. Intrepid really does run a different breed of group tour. Let me put it this way: When my parents—who travel widely and on their own and normally would never have even considered taking a group tour—suddenly found themselves with airfare to Japan but no time to plan a trip, I suggested they try booking with Intrepid. They did—and they've raved about it ever since. (They stayed in touch with their guide via email for years.)Partner
- Gadventures.com - G Adventures boasts 1,000 trips in 100 countries, from the more tour-like Comfort and Original trips to the gnarlier Active and Overland ones. No airfare (yet), and quoted prices are not as inclusive as some others (read the fine print to find out about on-the-ground costs, often including most meals). Partner
- Realadventures.com - This is not a tour operator or travel agency, but rather a clearing house for independent tour operators, local adventure outfitters, and vacation agencies to offer their trips and tours direct to consumers. As such, it offers a potpourri of trips around the world, from single-day experiences to two-week tours, and they run the gamut from ballooning or biking to dude ranches, snow-shoeing, sailing, cooking schools, eco-tours, and much, much more.Partner
- Ricksteves.com - PBS superstar Rick Steves runs a highly successful tour company that really tries to highlight all the best of the independent travel style espoused in his books and TV show in a group format. I've bumped into several of his tour groups in Europe over the years, and the participants always gush about what a great time they're having. He also keeps his groups smaller than most (24 to 28 travelers versus the 40 to 60 many big companies cram onto the bus), and the smaller the group, the more authentic the experiences each member is going to have (to say nothing of more room on the bus). (Disclosure: I know Rick, but have recommended his product long before that, even if we were once guidebook competitors!)
- Friendlyplanet.com - Excellent company offering inexpensive group tours to destinations around world, from Europe and cruises to exotic locales and safaris. If you want to sample some place like China, Peru, Morocco, the Galapagos, Kenya, or Southeast Asia while someone else takes care of all the planning, logistics, transport, meals, and local guides, this is probably the best place to go for the best prices on escorted tours. (In the Small World department, after recommending them for years, I discovered that Friendly Planet is based in tiny Jenkintown, PA, one town over from the equally tiny town where I grew up.)
- Gate1travel.com - Another of the best-priced general tour operators out there, offering escorted tours, group tours, and vacation packages to just about every popular country around the world. Like Friendly Planet, it is a generalist agency, geared to people who want to see foreign destinations but do so in comfort and with a guided tour experience. Also like Friendly Planet, the company turns out to have a personal connection I feel compelled to point out, but you should not feel compelled to read, so feel free to skip the next bit in parentheses. (In yet another quirk of fate, Gate 1 used to be from Glenside, PA—which was on the other side of the town where I grew up—and it is now based in Fort Washington, which is next to the town where I currently live. However, as with Friendly Planet, I was recommending Gate 1 long before I had any idea it was a neighbor—in fact, I discovered both companies while I was living in New York. None of this has anything to do with booking your trip, but it makes me wonder what was in the water in Montgomery County that made so many of us locals go into the travel business.)
- Sceptrevacations.com - Escorted and custom group tours in many parts of Europe, plus many great vacation packages (their self-guided air-car-and-B&B deals are hard to beat).
- Roadscholar.org - The travel company formerly known as Elderhostels (and, briefly, Exploritas) is devoted to "Adventures in lifelong learning," and aimed at travelers 50 and over. These are educational trips, often coordinated by universities, and your days are packed with seminars, lectures, field trips, and sightseeing, all led by academics or expert tour guides. Programs range from one to four weeks. They also offer cruises, intergenerational trips (i.e.: bring the grand kids), and outdoors adventures.
- Abercrombiekent.com - One of the best tour companies in the world—with prices to match! If you can afford it, you will love it.
- Oattravel.com - This soft adventure tour operator hits all the exotic hotspots, but without as many hard-core activities. Aimed at a slightly older (40s-60s) crowd (their sister company, Grand Circle Travel, specializes in standard tours for mature travelers). Bonus: GET $50 OFF your trip if, when you book, you give them my name and customer number: Reid Bramblett, customer #1545945.
- Contiki.com - Tours aimed at younger travelers.
- STA Travel - Tours aimed at students and other young travelers.
- Backroadstouring.com - British-based tour company devoted to getting off the beaten path and avoiding the highways.
- Tripmasters.com - Another good generalist tour and package company.
- Smartours.com - Good, basic tour company with a smaller roster of carefully crafted tours at decent prices.
- CruiseDirect.com - One of the top cruise discounters in the business, consistently underselling the higher rack rates you'll see posted on the web sites of the cruise companies themselves. CruiseDirect.com even has a last-minute page with discounts on soon-to-leave ships.Partner
- Cruisecompete.com - You know the commercials for LendingTree.com? That whole "When banks compete, you win..." spiel? Well this the same thing for cruises. You put in the date and destination and ship (any or all of those), and it sends your cruise request to a whole bunch of cruise brokers and discounters. Each of them then contacts you with a quote on how little they can do that cruise for you. Basically, it does the shopping around for you, pretty cool, huh? Partner
- Priceline.com - The famous discounter of hotels rooms also does cruises.Partner
- CruiseCritic.com - Editorial site with ship reviews, plenty of good crusing intel, and very active forums. (Disclosure: I have written for them, and have several friends on the editorial staff.)
- Singlescruise.com - Books groups of singles (ages 21 on up, but mostly 35–55) onto cruise ships, offering its own onboard program of events and mixers—and, most importantly, matching you with a same-gender cabinmate (of roughly the same age) so you don't have to pay the dreaded "single supplement."
