Getting started
Where to find the widget builder
You can find the widget builder in the “Widgets” tab in the “Tools” section of your account. Watch the video below for more details.
Choose which tours to feature
The Viator widget builder will give you the option to create widgets based on a:
Destination
You select the destination and we pull in the top experiences in that destination
(e.g. top tours in Rome)
Tour category
You select a category within a destination and we pull in the top experiences in that category
(e.g. Food, Wine & Nightlife)
Curated list of products
You select any tour or activity to provide a curated list of your chosen experiences
(e.g. brewery tours of Berlin)
Building a Widget Based on a Destination or Attraction
Step 1a
Select the “Destination or category” button, if not selected already.
Using the search bar, search for a destination or attraction and select the appropriate destination or attraction that appears in the search results. You can also copy a viator.com destination URL and paste it into the “Destination or category” section of the widget builder
Step 1b
Select the number of tours you’d like to show, the language your widget will display, and the currency your widget will display. You also have the option to add campaign tracking, which we recommend adding.
Step 2
Use the widget preview on the right to show what your widget will look like once it goes live on your site. If you’re content with this, copy the code and add it to your site.
Building a widget based on a category
Step 1a
In another window, navigate to viator.com and search for the category within the destination of focus.
Note: you are unable to search for categories in the widget builder.
Step 1b
Then, copy that viator.com URL and paste it into the “Category (URL only)” section of the widget builder.
Step 1c
Select the number of tours you’d like to show, the language your widget will display, and the currency your widget will display. While optional, we always recommend adding campaign tracking.
Step 2
Use the widget preview on the right to show what your widget will look like once it goes live on your site. If you’re content with this, copy the code and add it to your site.
Building a widget based on your own curated list of individual tours
Step 1a
Select the “Specific tours” button. Search for specific tours one-at-a-time using the search bar, or individually copy viator.com URs and paste them into the “Specific Tours” section in the widget builder. You can select up to 30 tours or activities per widget.
Step 1b
Select the language your widget will display, and the currency your widget will display. Use the widget preview on the right to show what your widget will look like once it goes live on your site.
Step 2
Use the widget preview on the right to show what your widget will look like once it goes live on your site. If you’re content with this, copy the code and add it to your site.
