Review of Plitvice Lakes National Park admission, with practical advice on entrances, trails, boats, crowds, price, and planning.
“This was absolutely worth it. Give yourself time to get there as it is far from most other locations. Also bring a jacket or some layers as it was very cold and we were there in June. Crowds are unreasonable so go early. There are only bathrooms at the beginning, middle and end. About 2/3 hours apart. There is food but I would bring a picnic lunch as it can be very crowded.”
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.”

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Inthanon tour, with mountain trails, royal pagodas, Karen coffee, waterfall views, lunch, price, and practical tips.
“I enjoyed the trip. It was very diverse and unique. I recommend it. The guide was knowledgeable about the park. However, she didn’t make an effort to give background information or share facts about what we would be see while we were in the van. She did respond to questions but didn’t project her voice so everyone in the van could hear her. This was not representative of other guides we had through Get Your Guide while in Thailand. They were great. She did take pictures on the trail and shared them through Google Drive. No other guides did that. The trip was interesting and diverse in content. We didn’t…”

Vesuvius National Park ticket review with skip-the-line entry, trail tips, parking costs, shuttle advice, timing, and honest value guidance.
“A must see location if visiting Naples or the surrounding area. If self driving, get there early (0830 - 0900) and be prepared for $7 card only parking payment. Where you park is “not” the entrance. They got this pretty well dialed in for added shuttle service to entrance. Recommend walking; 20 - 30 min. Once you get to the “trail” entrance take this and you avoid all the tourist trap stuff. PLUS, you will see almost no one and obtain amazing views not seen from the pack. During my journey up, only saw 2 other trail hikers. Total time was like 25 min but I was cruising up. It’s…”
Review of Vesuvius National Park’s $29 skip-the-line ticket, digital audio guide, crater hike, views, transport limits, and booking tips.
“Den Vesuv zu besteigen ist ein sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis, du stehst immerhin am Kraterrand eines aktiven Vulkans. Die Voucher in Tickets umzutauschen hat sich am Anfang etwas kompliziert angehört (per Whatsapp sich beim lokalen Anbieter Around Vesuvio melden und die schicken dann ein Bild vom Ticket per Whatsapp retour), hat aber dann doch gut funktioniert. Am Eingang konnte man sich per QR-Code im WLan einloggen, ansonsten gäb es dort keinen Internetempfang. Das Foto vom Ticket haben wir dann kurz vor der gebuchten Zeit erhalten. Taxitransfer vom Parkplatz bis zum Eingang war auch sehr gut organisiert, für 3€ hin und retour braucht man sicher nicht überlegen ob man zu fuß gehen…”
