Ordered by the weight of reviews, never by commission, and every column draws on the same facts, so they compare fairly.
How many ratings each one has
The number of ratings for each, with the score in brackets: a score only means something with the people behind it.
Below about ten ratings, a score says more about chance than about the experience.

How far to trust the rating
The tour has a 4.5 rating from 47 reviews. The category has 72 listings, and this tour ranks 41st by number of reviews. A 4.5 is a good score, but 47 ratings is a modest base. Some comparable day trips have hundreds or over a thousand reviews, so treat this 4.5 as a positive signal from a smaller sample rather than a heavily tested result.
The score itself is high, but the evidence behind it is thinner than for the alternatives with larger review counts.
The day, stop by stop
The stops come in the order the day usually runs, each with what is there and the figures behind it; the data sheet holds the rest.
