Atlas ObscuraReviews of atlasobscura.com

Tried submitting a listing for a major new attraction where I live and received an email saying that they are not publishing it. Since the attraction was opened it has achieved over 110 5* TripAdvisor reviews in just a month. It is the only attraction of its kind in the UK - if that isn't a 'unique travel opportunity' then I'm not sure what is! Rubbish site, not fit for purpose against it's own set of criteria. Won't bother using it again in future.

I've been using Atlas Obscura for over four years now and every vacation I take I reference them to know I can find something fun and off the beaten path. Pretty much any time something new gets posted I make it a goal to go check it out.

hidden place which I would never expect to exist, thanks to this website I visited

For me, Atlas Obscura is a daily read. When I wake up and have a cup of coffee, I read an article or two on this amusing website. I also like the option to suggest an edit. So, whenever I see an outdated piece of information or want to add some important details, I just go ahead and contribute.

I like this site.

I’m on the Mexico tour. So far not very good. They have made sure they received my money, but dealing with their call in and email help has NOT BEEN GOOD. My contact is Chris and I get nothing but apologies how he is too busy to look at my emails or listen to my voicemails. I’m really sorry I decided to take this trip to Mexico. I’ve paid about $3k and wish I had never done this with atlas Obscura. I’m only at the start of this trip meaning I’m just trying to get in their boards and if that is too difficult to obtain, I’m concerned how the actual trip will go. I will update review after the trip in October 2019 UPDATE: Finally I reached someone who was able to help me at Atlas. Once that happened everything fell into place. I was able to get confirmation for my hotel and join the boards. It ended up being one of the best trips I’ve ever done. Great hotel, located in central Mexico City, perfect guides, wonderful food, and a lovely small group of people on the tour. If you get a chance to go to Mexico for Dia de Muertos with Atlas, do it, it will be a trip of a lifetime. Really getting to interact with locals, and getting a good taste of the true meaning of Dia de Muertos.

We have taken two trips with Atlas, to Romania and India. Both were excellent - well organized and executed, and the tour guides in both places were knowledgeable, funny, and highly competent. They created context for everything we saw, which made the experience a very rich one. The itineraries were comprehensive and creative, and we came away feeling we had had excellent introductions to both countries. I recommend them with no reservations.
