1.2-Day Trip to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 265 reviews · 2 days · from $370Our pick

Review of a 2-day Cusco tour through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, with trains, guides, hotel pickup, lodging, and practical tips.

“This trip was outstanding! As a non Spanish speaking tourist I was immediately put at ease when a representative came the day before the trip and explained the process. Being escorted from my hotel to the tour bus by the tour guide was fantastic. Having someone meeting and my party at the train station to take use to the next location was superb. Both tour guides were outstanding, very personable and knowledgeable about the history and people. I would suggest this trip a thousand times over.”

2.Meteora 2-Day Trip with Hotel, Sunset & Morning tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 139 reviews · 2 days · from $141

Review of the 2-day Meteora trip from Athens with sunset, monasteries, hotel stay, breakfast, and a choice of hiking or minibus tour.

“Incredible! We took the 2-day trip and highly encourage it. Doing the sunset tour the first day is fantastic, and the second day we did the hiking tour — seeing unique sights from different spots. Both days our guides were a key part of the experience — lots of knowledge of history, geology, and ecology of the area. Shout out Evan for the hike! Unfortunately don’t know how to spell our sunset guide’s name. Overnight to enjoy 2 tours was great — staying in Kastraki was cute, we had a fantastic dinner at a restaurant recommended by our guide on the first day, and shopping in Kalambaka was so much…”

We wish we would’ve booked more time in Petra to explore as there is so much to see! The Wadi Rum accommodations were magical with a delicious dinner. Taking a dip in the Dead Sea is a must. Thank you for an unforgettable experience Safwat. We would happily book again!”

Review of the 2-day Yosemite trip from San Francisco, with small-group transport, lodge stay, giant sequoias, Glacier Point, and practical tips.

“It was a great experience. But maybe 3 days would've been better. The distances inside the park are large, it can take a lot of time from one vista point to another, so keep in mind you'll spend a lot of time the car. Jordan was our guide, he was fantastic and always helpful.”

7.2-Day Trip to Cappadocia w/Balloon+Cave Hotel

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 40 reviews · 2 days · from $679

Review of a 2-day Cappadocia trip from Istanbul with flights, cave hotel, balloon ride, ATV tour, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“The tour with Pupa Tours was well-organized and comprehensive. The staff was exceptionally kind, attentive, and always eager to address our inquiries. The balloon ride provided an absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable experience. However, there are certain aspects that could be improved. One issue was that our tours were swapped, resulting in the Goreme tour taking place after the balloon ride. Consequently, we had limited time to rest since the balloon ride required a 4 am pick-up, followed by the second tour starting at 9 am. Moreover, the chimneys tour felt somewhat repetitive, and some locations could have been omitted to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, unnecessary stop...”
