  Why it might be a killer  

An excellent place to find creative travel plans. With the advantage of booking multiple activities in one easy location and by this save a lot of time which is really precious now a days. They really take care of their customers, and offer a wide variety of options with a site which is perfectly organized so that things are more than easy to find.

  Some questions  

Due to the large number of sites offering the same service, in which way are they competitive? Will they improve the services in the future? How detailed are the responses offers?

Yes Derek they are actively adding user content to the site. Just noticed Viator is now publishing photos from travelers of tours and sightseeing. User photos, user photos and also the Viator blog. Smart.

Good site, good service. They have some competitors, but interestingly none of them have gone down the user-generated content path. Viator is being very aggressive on the front, which is smart.

They have been around for quite a few years and have established a successful business model. As for your comment, they actually do not have strong competition as the type of services they sell are not sold by other sites and most who do are enabled using their API.
