# Activities and Tours

Use marketplaces for breadth, price signals, review patterns, and inventory discovery. Use operator and official sources to verify what materially affects the traveler.

If mobility, allergy, medical-equipment, or medication constraints appear, apply `$accessible-travel` gating before ranking. Unknown or failed transfer, access, dietary, equipment, toilet, or storage links make a candidate ineligible for the recommended configuration.

Read [marketplace-method.md](references/marketplace-method.md) before comparing listings.

## Compare like with like

Identify duplicate listings for the same operator or underlying tour. Normalize duration, group size, language, transport, admission, food, gratuities, hotel pickup, cancellation, accessibility, and total party price. Separate private, small-group, and large-group products.

For each serious option provide the marketplace link, direct operator or official attraction link when identifiable, observed price basis, review signal, decisive inclusions/exclusions, meeting logistics, cancellation summary, verification status, and why it fits this itinerary.

When the user names channels, show a coverage matrix with searched, suitable result found, no suitable result, or inaccessible. Do not force weak options merely to fill every channel. Treat an independent operator as a provider with an identifiable current first-party site or official booking/contact channel; label marketplace-only suppliers separately.

Recommend one best fit plus a value and premium alternative when evidence supports them. A direct option is not automatically better; compare support, cancellation, price, and traveler protections. Never claim a reservation, guaranteed availability, or lasting price.
