It was really not a difficult hike but still great if the goal is to see Etna and experience a stunning sunset. The cave exploration was really fun too with equipment provided. We can really recommend🙌”

2.Stonehenge Morning Day Trip with Admission

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,423 reviews · 6.5 hours · from $89

Review of the Stonehenge morning trip from London, with early entry, transport, audio guide, two hours at the monument, and practical tips.

“Was a good day trip - there are way too many options out there for tourists wanting to see Stonehenge and that frustrated us - we ultimately more or less just picked one randomly. Ash was a good speaker and Dave drove the bus safely. We arrived on time to Stonehenge and back to London which, given traffic is a kind of miracle! :)”

8.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…”
