Step 1

Choose whether you want to create your widget based on a destination or attraction, a category, or your own curated list of experiences.

  • For a destination or attraction, simply use the search bar to find it or copy its URL and paste it into the widget tool.
  • If you choose a category, search for it on selector.viator.com, copy its URL, and paste it into the widget tool.
  • To build a widget using your own list of experiences, search for each tour or activity individually and copy its URL into the widget tool, with a limit of 30 per widget.

If you choose to create a widget based on a destination, attraction, or category, select the number of experiences you would like displayed in your widget.

Choose the language in which the widget should be displayed, the currency your widget will display, and whether you would like it displayed as a Grid or List.
