“Fun day but a lot to cover so be prepared to move fast. We saw all the highlights of Siena but had only about 30 minutes free time there to explore and shop. We had a little more than an hour free time in San Gimignano and in Pisa. This tour is alot of walking. I did over 18,000 steps. Tour guide, Sara, was very good. Super nice and easy to understand.”

“The excursion to Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and Marken was a truly enriching experience. It gave us the chance to discover the beauty of the Dutch countryside. Our little one, almost 2 years old, had a great time: he really enjoyed walking around Zaanse Schans and even climbed up into one of the iconic windmills. Later, he got to taste a traditional Dutch soup at a harbor restaurant in Volendam, and had so much fun visiting the clog factory, trying on a few pairs in the adjoining gift shop. We arrived in Marken by boat, as we chose the all-inclusive option — and we truly believe it’s well worth it! A…”

Athens: Cape Sounion & Poseidon Temple Sunset Half-Day Trip

12.Cape Sounion & Poseidon Temple Sunset Half-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 8,241 reviews · 5h 30m · from $23

Your English-speaking guide, often guides such as Angelina, Lydia, or Dimitra, shares Greek myths and local history. You get about 1.5 to 2 hours at the site for views, photos, and sunset.

“The trip was amazing, and our guide, Lydia, was brilliant. She told us loads of facts and stories on the way there and back. The temple is beautiful and there is a cafe at the bottom for food and drinks. The tour doesnt include the 20€ entry to the temple, which makes the whole trip very expensive. You can see the sunset from lower down, but the temple is really the whole point.”
