Best options for families, couples and solo travellers

Families will find guided tours the easiest way to see highlights together, since tours account for the majority of bookings and tend to offer organised, group-friendly experiences. Couples can mix immersive tours with the occasional attraction pass for flexible entry to key sites. Solo travellers and small groups often favour tours as well — they provide structure and a ready-made group, while attraction passes suit travellers who prefer to explore independently once they arrive.

What travellers should book in advance

What travellers book ahead Most visitors plan ahead rather than relying on last-minute decisions: typical bookings are made roughly three weeks out, while the earliest planners lock things in closer to the early-days mark. Booking ahead matters most in the peak months, when demand is highest and popular tours fill up sooner.

Tours are the priciest on average and also show the widest range of prices, from entry-level group options to higher-end private or specialised itineraries, making them the category with the broadest choice for different trip styles. For travellers after convenience and coverage, tours suit those who want an organised experience; attraction passes suit those looking for the most affordable, flexible way to visit specific places.
