Tripadvisor lists tour options for many of the available attractions. Many of the individual tours have lots of recent reviews so you can get a better idea of what the experience will be like.
Pro Good for food/restaurants
Tripadvisor will usually have the not-to-miss restaurants, even if they can end up being touristy. A good yelp equivalent in non-US countries.
Pro Free carbon offsetting
When you book a flight with FlyGRN's partners, they receive a fee. FlyGRN uses a part of that fee to support building solar panel projects in India to offset the carbon emissions of your flight for free.
Pro Often cheapest
Has often the cheapest flights, but not always.
Cons
Con Not usually easy to compare
Con Reviews can be outdated
Con Lack of trust in reviews
There is a lot of incentive for companies to post fake reviews in order to increase their ranking/visibility. Tripadvisor does very little to catch the false reviews, so it's hard to know what's authentic and what isn't.
Con Lots of sponsored content
Sponsored content such as sightseeing tours and hotels can clutter up the content users are actually searching for.
Con Not always cheapest
Although it often finds the best prices, sometimes other sites are cheaper.
