Online aggregators: the best tour search engines for all tour operators
Are you wondering where to buy a tour? I suggest starting with this: enter “service for searching and booking tours and air tickets” in the search bar. The system will return dozens of sites. In this list you will find travel search sites where you can find a profitable tour and even pay for it. Travel planning becomes easier! On what basis are such resources selected on the Internet? I decided to conduct my own research and talk about the safety, convenience and benefits of search services, so that I could then highlight the most exemplary one for myself.
I propose to consider the most famous ones, which I know firsthand. These services have been tested by millions of tourists and help you search for tours from all tour operators. Our heroes: , .
Review of search services
I’ll explain why I decided to use these particular sources. Since I have been traveling for a long time and try to save time, Most often I look for and book trips online. The above tour aggregators, let’s call them that, have existed for a long time and have already gained some popularity among travelers (and not only in Russia).
How did I choose? Nowadays, such companies offer all the same services as travel agencies in your city, only everything becomes much more accessible and faster. If I see that an organization, for example, Onlinetours, cooperates with leading tour operators and insurance companies, then my choice is obvious.
What do I get? Comfort. Any serious travel company has its own website. Theoretically, you can visit everyone, but why this “monkey work” if hundreds of offers can be in one place? Where to look for last-minute tours? Do not doubt that all last-minute offers and promotions of travel agencies will also be presented on the official website of the general search engine. You can explore all the directions that interest you.
Economic benefit. These sources have a wide search area, so there you will find the best deals for all operators that the agency will not offer you. I have repeatedly experienced the benefits of purchasing a tour on the Travelata and Onlinetours websites. I am used to trusting honest companies that do not charge high commissions for their services. Thus, it turns out to be much more profitable to book tours through aggregator sites than in the offices of travel companies.
Reliability. How does this manifest itself? In principle, the guarantees for the safety of your funds are the same as in a regular travel agency office. Everyone knows horror stories when someone bought something on the Internet and lost their money. This is not the case. The companies in question are absolutely reliable. You don’t have to make an advance payment right away, but come to the office. These search engines have offices in major cities. You can choose not to pay anything at once, but take out installments.

One of the first online services for searching and booking tickets and vacation tours for me was Onlinetours. I would automatically put him on a pedestal, because... I am more familiar with it, and it has never let me down... Modern website, convenient search form, reasonable prices. I'll tell you more about prices.
When I paid for my first trip to Turkey on the website, I was very surprised that prices are the same as on tour operator websites. Believe me, I checked! The company cooperates with such giants in the world of tourism as: TezTour, CoralTravel, AnexTour, Signrise, etc. These tour operators do not cheat their clients, even if the charter flight is delayed/cancelled. The Onlinetours team will not let you forget about the departure time and will remind you of all the documents that you need to take with you. I then received a bunch of notifications via SMS and vouchers by email.
Of course, reviews on official websites of companies are not always true, but even third-party resources highly rate Onlinetours. Here's what I found:
- “Caring and courteous staff. The managers on the hotline explain everything clearly. It’s convenient when a specific manager is assigned to you, who solves your problems along the way. During the preparation for the trip, we got the impression that we had known each other for a long time and were very imbued with trust.”
- There are many comments from regular customers, such as: “Once again we use your services. We have never regretted it. Flying on vacation with you is profitable and comfortable.”
- For some, the site seemed a little complicated and might take some getting used to. Overall, more positive reviews, and I join their number.
The next online store is . The service focuses on the most inexpensive tours. As far as I know, the company has a "best price guarantee" policy. Those. you find a trip abroad “for an inexpensive price”, compare similar ones on other sites and, if it turns out that somewhere is cheaper, Travelata gives you a discount. It is also a search engine for tours across all tour operators. The service is good, absolutely reliable.
Level Travel is another great search engine. Pros: level service - couriers deliver original documents (upon request) directly to your home or office (in Moscow and its environs, along the Moscow Ring Road free of charge). Coverage - about 80 destinations: Europe, Asia, UAE, etc. You can accumulate bonus miles for purchases for the Nth amount of money.
Here, in my opinion, are the most convenient tools for searching for last-minute tours and monitoring travel prices by month.
To the question which of these search engines to choose, I will answer you - any. Everyone is reliable. They are looking for tours from all major tour operators. There is an installment plan. The assortment is sometimes different, but more often the same. I couldn’t single out a single site from them where travel packages are always cheaper. Prices differ and fluctuate depending on the specific tour. That's why...
As I usually do:
- I open 3 search engines at once and enter the data (country, departure date) that I need. Often you can find different prices for the same tours, usually the range is 1,000 - 2,000 rubles, or the offers differ slightly, for example, in the number of nights.
- I compare search results by price and quality. I choose the most interesting ones.
- I look at which tour operators offer tours and choose proven and reliable ones.
- I check hotel reviews. As a result, I am left with 1-2 options.
You can choose any search engine that you like best in terms of design and convenience, and buy tickets only there. This is beneficial because all services encourage their customers not to go to other search engines. If, for example, you chose Travelata, and found a cheaper tour on Level Travel, feel free to write to Travelata support and ask for a discount.
Another discovery for me recently was the service. This Ukrainian tour search engine. As soon as you open the main page, the developers promise “Booking tours online in 15 minutes without visiting the office.” The search form is really very simple. The main thing is to indicate the exact departure date, duration of the tour, and the number of tourists. Information on tours on the website is constantly updated, therefore, the main advantage of the service is current prices. You can pay for the tour both online and at the point of sale. During a certain period, this reservation cannot be canceled even without prepayment. Bus tours, air tours, and last minute offers are highlighted separately on the website.
No matter how ideal the tour operator may seem, it is necessary to remember the basic rules for selecting a good tour.

Rules for choosing a good tour
Tourist search engines for tours are not a panacea! Therefore, advice number 1 is explore all the options you can find. Sometimes you seem to find the best offer on LevelTravel, but your intuition leads you to Travelat and, voila! You save up to 5000 thousand rubles.
Tip #2. If possible, change dates. Prices sometimes vary greatly.
Tip #3. It will be appropriate on sites you like register, at least to receive mailings with promotions and last-minute offers. This way you won't miss your chance to benefit.
Tip #4. Look tours of different durations. I noticed that sometimes vouchers for 13-14 days turned out to be cheaper than 10-12-day ones.
Tip #5. Look for tours with departure from a neighboring large city, if you didn’t find the right offer from your locality.

Hello friends! Today I’ll tell you how to buy a cheap tour online yourself, compare prices from all tour operators and purchase the most profitable option without leaving your chair. Read, apply, and may an inexpensive vacation be with you!
In many cases, traveling on a tour may be cheaper than traveling on your own. It happens that the price of tickets alone comes out as a ready-made package with round-trip flights and accommodation. This especially applies to popular tourist countries where there are many charter flights - Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, the Black Sea coast of Russia, Bulgaria, Montenegro.

For example, for the two of us to fly to Thailand on our own from Siberia for a short trip of two weeks will cost at least 70,000 rubles, most of which will be spent on tickets (and even then, not direct ones). For relaxation, it will be more convenient and profitable to buy a ready-made tour right away. After all, the tour operator buys charter tickets and hotel rooms in advance and a lot at once, so it turns out cheaper. Not to mention last-minute tours, when seats on planes remain unsold and the tour can be very cheap.
Let's now look at several ways to buy a tour cheaply.
How to buy a cheap tour: ways to save
1. Search and purchase a tour online
It’s gratifying that now you no longer need to travel to city travel agencies in search of the best and inexpensive tour; all information is available without leaving your home - online. In addition, buying online is often cheaper than buying in the office, because the agency bears the costs of renting premises, salaries for managers, and consumables.
It is especially convenient to buy last-minute tours online, because places on them tend to run out very quickly. By the time you get to the office, there will be nothing left, but I saw it, decided, paid, and flew off to rest.
Prices for tours abroad change very quickly and depend on exchange rates - another argument to buy quickly, because the ruble falls every now and then. All information on vouchers on the sites I indicated is always up to date.
2. Advantages of buying tours online:
- Cheaper than in the office, or the same price.
- Fast: you don’t need to go to the other end of the city or go to the nearest, but not verified agency, the purchase process takes place from any place convenient for you.
- Reliable: more than 120 verified tour operators, and payment occurs only through secure protocols.
- You choose everything yourself (and some travel agents can recommend exactly the hotel or tour operator where they have a higher commission, and not where it will be best for you to relax).
- Reviews of hotels and destinations, as well as photos, will help you decide which vacation spot to choose.
- Convenient price calendar, you can select the date with the lowest price.
- All tours are available from your smartphone on the way to work or home, on your computer at home or at work: look and choose where and when it is convenient.
- All documents at once: we pay by credit card and all vouchers, air tickets and other documents are immediately sent to the post office. We eliminate the notorious human factor, when a manager may forget something.
- The tour can be purchased in installments.
- If you need a visa, the support service will tell you what documents are needed, and within the Moscow Ring Road, a courier will pick up the documents and deliver ready-made visas for free.
- Online consultants will help you make your choice, support is available around the clock.
- The service department will help you resolve all issues at any time if something goes wrong.
- Bonus programs, promotions, discounts.
3. Search all tour operators
Search engines look for options and compare prices across 120+ tour operators at once, so not a single tour escapes your attention. All this works on the principle of the airline ticket search engines that you probably know well. When choosing a tour, I recommend looking at all three services at once, so you definitely won’t miss anything.
4. Search for nearby dates
It’s good if you can shift the start or end of your vacation by a few days - this often allows you to save a lot of money. The low price calendar will help you understand which dates the tour is cheapest for.

Tour to Thailand for the price of a flight, the price is for two
for all tour operators allows you to choose a holiday destination in the country you are interested in without leaving your home, as well as get acquainted with the price category of tours offered by the agency for certain dates. The simplicity and convenience of this choice makes it possible to select several of the most suitable travel options and contact us to clarify questions about hotel booking.
Features of searching for tours: how to do it correctly
If you need to search for tours to Turkey or another tourist country, you should take into account the specifics of the search - this will allow you to get results that best suit your wishes.
In the search form, you must select the country in which you want to relax, as well as the hotel category, that is, its “star rating”. If there are certain preferences regarding the resort or hotel, it is also advisable to indicate them. The standard search for tours includes such selection categories as type of food, number of adults and children, as well as the date and duration of the vacation, departure city and desired travel budget.
Finding a tour on your own is easy!
After clicking the search button and selecting suitable packages, you can familiarize yourself with the conditions and offers of different hotels, and as a result, choose one or more vacation spots, from which you can subsequently choose the most suitable one.
If you can’t search for tours on your own, you can contact the manager of a travel agency online or by phone - he will help you resolve any questions you may have and make your choice.
After choosing the most suitable tour, you need to book a tour by clicking on the appropriate price.
