aerobase-travel-activities_skill

Overview

This skill helps travelers discover Viator tours, attractions, and activities near airports and within cities, with emphasis on ratings, duration, and jetlag recovery. It prioritizes layover-friendly options and matches activity intensity to how users are likely to feel at different stages of travel. The result is quick, highly rated suggestions that fit time constraints and energy levels.

How this skill works

The skill queries Aerobase/Viator endpoints to fetch tours and attractions by airport or city, then filters results by duration, category, and minimum rating. It applies a simple recovery-matching layer that selects lower-intensity options for jetlagged or short-stop travelers and highlights activities suitable for remaining trip days or layover windows. Each result includes duration, price where available, user rating, and a booking link.

When to use it

• Planning activities during a short layover near an airport
• Finding low-effort experiences when recovering from jetlag
• Filtering attractions by duration and minimum rating
• Selecting activities that fit remaining days of a trip
• Quickly comparing nearby tours with booking links

Best practices

• Set a realistic maximum duration when searching for layover options to avoid missed flights
• Use minimum rating filters to surface only highly rated experiences
• Specify airport code for accurate nearby results instead of a broad city name
• Consider transit time when choosing activities for short stopovers
• Combine recovery stage with duration filters to get suitable intensity recommendations

Example use cases

• ‘I have 4 hours at CDG — show quick, easy attractions nearby’
• ‘What can I do in London for 3 days that’s low effort my first day?’
• ‘Find top-rated 2-hour tours within 30 minutes of the airport’
• ‘Show family-friendly activities near the airport with 4+ star ratings’
• ‘Recommend activities that fit a half-day and include booking links’
