Picks are computed from Voykit's own fields (walk-in windows, seating, diet, price band, booking). A place already picked for one category is passed over for the next when another qualifies; price-based picks never are. A category without a qualifying place is left out rather than filled.

How we judge
- Book it
- Worth paying for: it solves access, language or transport.
- Maybe
- Depends on you: read who it suits.
- Do it yourself
- Easy alone; a tour adds little.
- Skip
- Poor value, unsafe or restricted.
Operators are described by type, not by brand: Voykit has no partnership with any operator and does not collect reviews. Check the inclusions and the cancellation terms in writing before you pay.
