★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 520 reviews · 10 hours · from $61

See Varanasi by sunrise boat, sacred temples, BHU, Sarnath, and evening Ganga Aarti on a private 10-hour tour for $61.

“We had one full day in Varanasi and needed a good all day tour. Our guide was Shivam - he was friendly, patient, knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he tailored the day to our needs. The morning Aarti ceremony and the evening ceremonies were amazing and well worth getting up early and staying out late. Shivam read our needs/preferences well and we thoroughly enjoyed our day (if a little exhausted by the end). The tour price tickets are expensive compared to others but it was a long day and our driver was also very good and prompt. Well organised by our…”

Full Day Off The Beaten Track the Mekong Delta.

5.Full Day Off The Beaten Track the Mekong Delta.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 373 reviews · from $93Top rated

Review of a full-day Mekong Delta bike, kayak, and boat tour from Ho Chi Minh City, with local food, village roads, and practical tips.

“Kayaking the Mekong in a freak rainstorm was truly a magical experience, loved every second. A wonderful day out with Bao, who is clearly passionate about the outdoors and his homeland. Rice wine shots on the boat, getting to steer the boat along the Mekong, kayaking through small jungle canals... Does it get better? As for the bike ride - 20km sounds like a long distance, but you will barely feel it. You'll be too entranced by the surroundings. Be warned though - there is a short section of the track that is VERY narrow and rocky, with ditches on both sides. If you haven't ridden a mountain bike in…”

“Highly recommend taking this tour of Bratislava! We booked this last minute on our travel to the city and it worked out perfectly. Our guide was Peter and we rode with him throughout the whole tour. He was very helpful in accommodating our early arrival and even helped us figure out how to pay for parking to avoid a ticket! He offered us blankets to keep warm on the ride and took some group pictures for us at a few of the stops. Highly recommended checking this out for a local, personalized tour of the city and highlyyyy recommend Peter as your guide.”

Bangkok Canal Small Teak Boat Full-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 6h 30m · from $100

Explore Thonburi’s canals by traditional teak boat, with temples, markets, orchids, local homes, lunch, and a six-person group.

“I’d strongly recommend this 6.5hr day tour for anybody who wants to see how the locals live in the less busy areas of west Bangkok. One of the best adventures we’ve had during our stay in Bangkok. Travelling the canals by long-tail boat is a great experience. One passes the houses of locals, businesses, temples, and wildlife such as birdlife and monitor lizards longing in the sun. Our guide Sunny was wonderful. A lovely chap who was patient, considerate, and always answered our questions. I particularly enjoyed being shown the local culture and traditions with appropriate explanation. For lunch we had a treat, home cooked food prepared by a local…”

Cologne: Full-Day Mosel Valley Tour with River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 3 reviews · 10 hours · from $153

Explore Koblenz, Cochem, the Mosel Valley, a river cruise, and optional wine tasting on a small-group day trip from Cologne.

“Toda a experiência foi muito agradável! Apenas sinto não ter sido possível ter visitado Bernkastel, mas isso deveu-se a motivos meteorológicos e a alternativa oferecida, a vila caricata de Beilstein, foi uma ótima experiência, onde deu para passear por uma das localidades mais encantadoras da Alemanha com casas típicas históricas num cenário sobre o Mosela espetacular! Recomendo a fazer a visita guiada em alturas de exposição solar mais prolongadas, mas mesmo no inverno as vistas com as luzes de noite e os mercados de Natal nas localidades visitadas não são de deixar passar!”
