TripAdvisor recently released its Travelers’ Choice Awards for 2026. In the worldwide rankings, Bali was named the No. 1 destination; Mexico had the best beach; Indonesia had the best hotel; Argentina had the best restaurant; and Portugal had the world’s best tour.
The rankings were also organized by country. The top U.S. activity may seem to be in Las Vegas, but the tour actually takes visitors into Arizona.
The No. 1 U.S. Activity Is an Arizona Canyon Tour
TripAdvisor named the Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Day Tour with Lunch the country’s top activity. Although the tour is booked in Las Vegas, it visits two Arizona landmarks. TripAdvisor says guests can see the landscapes and learn about their geological and cultural histories during the guided trip, which includes a bus ride and lunch.
The tour is rated 4.9 out of 5 stars. Reviewers said the day is long but enjoyable and praised the guides who take visitors from one area of the canyon to another.
