Maya Alvarez

Staff Writer

Maya Alvarez has spent the last eight years testing tours, day trips, and hands-on experiences across six continents, from sunrise hikes in the Andes to street food crawls in Bangkok. Before joining Kratos Review, she worked as a destination experience coordinator for a boutique tour operator, vetting hundreds of local guides and activity providers. Maya specializes in the Things To Do section, where she focuses on what a tour actually delivers versus what it promises - pacing, group size, guide quality, and whether an experience is worth your limited vacation time. She holds a degree in Tourism Management and has personally booked and reviewed over 400 activities worldwide.
