Travel from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market by air-conditioned coach. A 20-minute traditional boat ride, train-side photos, local snacks, and guides such as Sam, Jenny, Tammy, and Jeed make this a lively, well-organized day out.

Leave central Tokyo for Mt Fuji’s 5th Station, enjoy a Japanese lunch and wadaiko drum show, cruise Lake Ashi, ride the Komagatake Ropeway, and return by non-reserved Shinkansen. Guides such as Joy, Miko, Shige, and Heroaki have been praised for clear commentary and practical help.

“The trip was beautiful! Lake Como & St Moritz were both quiet, nice and gorgeous! it was early November so not a lot of activity in either location, but that's alright. The Bernina train ride was definitely the highlight for me. Gorgeous views and cool windows that open big and allow you to peek out and take it some amazing views. I was lucky to have a decent amount of snow making it picturesque!”

Start beside Porto Cathedral with the Magic Tourism team, then ride the city train to Real Companhia Velha for a film, cellar tour, and two port tastings. Finish with a one-hour Douro cruise past Porto’s bridges. You can split the train, cellar, and boat visits across two days.
“Great option for seeing the whole city, a port cellar, and the river. Worked great for our family, kids included!”
From Lucerne, your English-speaking guide leads you by coach, gondola, aerial Dragon Ride cable car, cogwheel train, and boat. Enjoy about two hours at Mt. Pilatus for walks and views before descending to Alpnachstad and cruising back to Lucerne in summer.

Walk 4 to 5 km through Plitvice Lakes with guides such as Samantha, Christian, Angelo, and Bethsy. Your reserved entry helps you get into the park, while the route covers waterfalls, viewpoints, a shuttle or train ride, and a 15-minute boat trip. Park admission is extra and payable in cash.
“We had the most amazing guided tour with Samantha through Plitvice Lakes. We learned so much about nature, had the most breathtaking view of Mother Earth and learned a lot about the history of the park and the change throughout the seasons. I noticed in the reviews someone commenting that the price was too high as park tickets have to be purchased on top. We completely disagree with this as 1) the tour is 4 hours and therefore really good value 2) the ticket prices ensure the park is maintained as UNESCO world heritage 3) it’s clearly outlined what is included and what not. We think it’s good value for…”
Leave Porto with a live guide such as Manuel, Antonio, Carlos, or Rita for a full day in the Douro Valley. You’ll travel by minivan, boat, and train, eat a regional lunch, visit a Quinta winery, and taste Port and Douro wines. Weather may change the train plan.
“It was a comfortable drive and we enjoyed the visit to the winery with tasting, train ride, boat ride on river and lunch. The scenery was stunning. Pedro and Miquel were great.”
Travel independently from Palma or Son Sardina by 1912 wooden train, historic Sóller tram, and boat to Sa Calobra. You get free time in Sóller, Port de Sóller, and Torrent de Pareis, but no guide, meals, or drinks are included. Careful timing is essential.
“You need to go to the Soller train station in Palma, go to the ticket counter, show them your Get Your Guide booking and collect the actual ticket. However it is easy to do and the trip is absolutely worth it!”
