Anyway, thought I'd share in case the OP works at Vayable and is in a position to do something about it. :)
Vayable has a lot of potential and I'm definitely in the target market, so I hope something that I said is helpful.
In the meantime, we'd be happy to help you find good activities for your upcoming trip -- either give us a call (our 800 number is in the header), or contact me directly.
Is there a way to search tours or experiences by genre or budget? I can't seem to find it.
I want to know a guide's qualifications, I want to know that this guy knows what he's talking about. If I'll be placing a good chunk of my vacation time in his hands, I want to see this guide write, get a feel for his sense of humor, and get the vibe of his personality.
... even if they were spam or written by the venues themselves?
"For me, the reviews are the most important thing, and I doubt that I am alone in that."
Years of seeing these review systems gamed/bought for have left me jaded.
