Sightseeing Tours
Get your Sex and the City fix as you trace the footsteps of Carrie and friends to their favorite haunts from the hit TV show. If the jungles of New York are too urban for you, head to Muir Woods for a taste of nature and a winery tour. Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon are popular sightseeing attractions when visiting Las Vegas. Explore them both in one tour! A New Orleans Swamp Tour will take you deep into the bayous of Louisiana on a swamp boat or hop on a Segway for a sightseeing tour of Washington D.C. In Maui, the Hana Sky-Trek challenges the blind curves of the road to Hana, and then gives you a bird’s-eye view of the island with a Maui helicopter tour. A tour of the Kennedy Space Center will take you from the Earth to the moon, and beyond!

Unlock The Da Vinci Code in Paris with a tour of the monuments and architecture that inspired the best-selling novel. For a more classic French experience, take a bike tour through the countryside to Giverny and Monet's Garden. Tulum and Xel-Ha, an ancient Mayan city and natural aquarium, offer beauty and relaxation amid an unspoiled natural habitat. A Vancouver trolley tour allows you to hop on and off as you please. It’s the perfect way to explore the city!
Museums and Cultural Icons
From modern art to classical paintings, historic monuments to cultural artifacts, museums across the world house collections for a variety of interests. A trip to New York City is incomplete without a visit to MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art—now in its new home in Midtown Manhattan. The Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City tells the history of the aircraft carrier. In Seattle, get your groove on at the Experience Music Project. From jazz to hip-hop, funk to punk, the EMP has something for everyone. For a taste of the odd, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum is home to fascinating, outrageous, and interactive exhibits. The Louvre’s permanent collection, including the enigmatic Mona Lisa, is not something to miss when deciding which Paris museum to visit. If you just can’t decide, the Paris Museum Pass gives you access to over 70 museums and monuments around Paris. Tour the impressive collection of the Vatican Museums in Rome, including the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel. For the tennis enthusiast, the greatest collections of tennis memorabilia can be found in London at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum.

Some cities are home to architectural icons that must be seen. These building and structures are among the most recognized in the world. The observation deck of the Empire State Building opened in 1931 and has welcomed over 110 million visitors since. A San Francisco cruise can give you a unique view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The world’s tallest building for 25 years, the Sears Tower offers unparalleled views of the city from its observation deck. In London, the world's largest observation wheel, the London Eye, takes you almost 148 yards (135 meters) into the air! Britain is home to numerous royal palaces, and in London, Warwick Castle offers tales of treachery, passion, and power. End a day of Paris sightseeing with a three-course dinner at the Eiffel Tower and an evening Seine River Cruise.
Aquariums, Zoos & Other Wild Things to Do
Aquariums, zoos, and other animal-related activities offer a chance to learn while interacting with amazing creatures from around the world. The PIER 39 Attraction Pass includes admission to the top attractions on Pier 39, including the Aquarium of the Bay, and is perfect for a day of sightseeing. Learn about the special creatures that make the waters of the Caribbean their home at the Interactive Aquarium in Cancún. The Sydney Aquarium houses live coral reefs and aquatic animals unique to Australia, including sharks, crocodiles, and lively tropical fish. Marine creatures native to Florida and from around the world are found at the Florida Aquarium. More than 4,000 rare and endangered animals can be found at the San Diego Zoo. Sydney’s Taronga Zoo contains wildlife native to Australia, while the Caribbean Gardens Zoo has animals from around the world. The Ultimate Penguin Experience, Dolphin Encounter, and Manatee Swim let you come nose-to-nose with wild creatures.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Activities
From land to water to the air, take the opportunity to live out a dream or try something unique while you’re on vacation! Tour the best that San Francisco has to offer from inside a Talking Tour Car. For the speed demon in us all, the Richard Petty Driving Experience puts you behind the wheel of a 600-horsepower stock car. If getting wet is your goal, try bouncing through rapids on the White Water Bubble. For those who aim a little higher, Ziptrek will literally take you through Whistler's ancient forests—on a series of zip lines. Or, soar over San Diego's coastline in an open cockpit biplane. If that isn’t enough of a thrill, test your stomach’s mettle on a Zero-Gravity Flight. For those non-thrill seekers, treat yourself to a Cajun-style cooking class in New Orleans or a fashion makeover in San Francisco.
