1.Tenerife: Teide National Park Full-Day Tour with Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,613 reviews · 8 hours · from $66Our pick

Review of Tenerife’s Teide, Icod, Garachico, and Masca day tour, with mountain roads, volcanic views, guide tips, costs, and honest advice.

“🌟 One of the best organized trips I've ever been on! Everything was perfectly planned, and our guide Christophe made the experience even more special. There was time to enjoy stunning landscapes, take beautiful photos, and even relax with a coffee while admiring the amazing view of Mount Teide. We also had a quick lunch at a nice local spot - great food at a very fair price. Christophe was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the group engaged the entire time. I’ll definitely book with this travel agency again -but only if Christophe is the guide! 😄 Highly recommended!❤️🫶🏼”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 937 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $199

Review of the Yosemite full-day tour from San Francisco, covering sights, free time, transport, costs, guide quality, and practical booking advice.

“The tour itself was fine, however the tour guide drove like a MANIAC. He was speeding up the mountains, taking sharp turns, passing cars on the highway nearly hitting cars, and almost hit a biker driving downtown. There is NO reason to put us and an entire bus of people in a compromising and unsafe position driving like that up a mountain.”

Review of Dresden’s Saxon Switzerland day trip, with Bastei Bridge, Königstein Fortress, German commentary, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“I don’t speak German so I couldn’t understand the driver but I used Google Translate’s audio function to transcribe what he was saying on the ride and managed to gather bits of what he was sharing, including the timings to meet back on the bus. He’s a really nice and funny guy with lots of information about the sights. The views were beautiful and lovely too and after the tour, everyone in the bus clapped which was really sweet. I read some reviews that said there wasn’t enough time at each stop but I actually felt there was more than enough time (about 2 hours for Saxon Switzerland national park…”

“We can 100% recommend this tour to anyone! Our guide John was really knowledgeable and always knew the best spots to see a lot of the animals. The open safari car was spacious & comfortable and all of us were able to have a window seat. Whenever someone spotted an animal, John would immediately tell the driver to stop so we could take all the pictures we wanted. The little pre packed lunch was also delicious. All in all we felt in good hands at all times. Thanks again for the trip of a lifetime!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 689 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $110

Review of Chica Locca’s Marietas Islands all-inclusive boat tour, with food, open bar, snorkeling, kayaking, wildlife, and practical tips.

“Great crew, good drinks and decent food. I enjoyed the boat trip a lot. May be it would be possible to offer „young sixties“ to use the ladder to get off the boat. By jumping off the boat I got saltwater in my ears and nose, which spoiled my day a bit. My friend enjoyed swimming and snorkeling a lot, I did not like the obligatory life jackets . Mine was not possible to adjust properly so that swimming was no fun…. Otherwise: GREAT DAY”

In between we got to see lots of different animals, everything from waterbuffalos and warthogs down to critters such as kingfishers, mungos and different eagles. He did everything he could to make sure we were happy and satisfied.”

15.Khao Yai National Park Full-Day From Bangkok – Including Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 523 reviews · from $78

Review of Khao Yai National Park from Bangkok, with jungle hiking, two waterfalls, wildlife tips, transport details, price value, and practical advice.

“The trip was exactly as described - a long drive out of the city, beautiful hikes to the waterfalls and an adventurous hike through the jungle. However, the best part was the nature and literally climbing on branches while holding onto vines to get over the water and then seeing monkeys at the end of the trail. Only the best national parks have sinks to wash off your muddy shoes when you're done. An absolutely wonderful adventure! John was a terrific guide explaining the history of the park and area and pointing out wildlife.”
