8.Mount Etna: Summit Guided Hiking Tour up to 3,400 m

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4,792 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $65

Join guides such as Eduardo or Giuseppe for a 5 to 6 hour Mount Etna hike from Rifugio Sapienza. Choose the moderate Barbagallo Craters at 3,000 meters or the more demanding summit route to about 3,400 meters, with cable car access, volcanic sand, lava flows, and views toward the Ionian coast.

“Pick up was on time and at my door. Everything was well organized and efficient. NOTE: the description doesn’t adequately warn you how strenuous the hike is. If there is any question about fitness, opt for a tour that includes the 4x4 truck/bus. Areas of the trail are narrow, steep, and in gravel that gives way under your feet. Also, at elevation, oxygen levels are low so coming from sea level there will be more difficult. In summary, the guide was attentive and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our trek and would consider it in the future.”

12.Tokyo: Mt. Fuji Tour, Hakone Ropeway, Owakudani, Lake Ashi

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,002 reviews · 10 hours · from $54

Ride the Hakone Ropeway, see the red Torii gate on Lake Ashi, taste Owakudani’s black eggs, and visit Oshino Hakkai. A multilingual guide such as Jack, Kousei, or Sato keeps this busy 10-hour day organized. The pirate ship costs about 1,700 JPY extra, and Mt. Fuji views depend on weather.

“Kousei was a great guide. He made sure we had a cloudless sunny day for great views of the mountain. Actually, while that part may have been luck, he did a great job of explaining what our schedule was and making sure everyone understood what, when and in what time frame everything would happen. Very engaging and knowledgeable which he shared about our stops. Would recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 3,812 reviews · 3 - 6.5 hours · from $47Best value

Travel from Tenerife’s south coast into Teide National Park for sunset, a Canarian dinner option, and guided stargazing. Guides such as Ozzy combine astronomy, humor, and multilingual commentary. Telescopes may reveal the Moon, planets, nebulae, star clusters, and Andromeda.

“Amazing trip to see the stars on mount Teide, Ozzy at this best as usual (found this guy to be famous in the reviews section and when I heard he's our guide I immediately said we're in for a great tour), food was a bit of a letdown as the chicken nuggets for our son were either old or just a bad mixed and tasted strange but nothing to worry about. Overall 5/5, great experience.”

15.Pompeii & Mt.Vesuvius Day Tour from Naples with Pizza Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,901 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $149

Spend about seven hours exploring Pompeii with a guide, eating pizza, and hiking Mount Vesuvius. The tour includes transport, entrance fees, and pickup in Naples. Guides such as Elisa, Alba, Michele, Bernadette, and Maria have led highly praised Pompeii visits, though weather and tight timing can affect the volcano stop.

“I'm rating it 5 stars although we couldn't do Vesuvius because it was closed due to pouring rain, logistics went into the dumpster because of the rain, our (Spanish) guide couldn't even arrive and they had to replace our guide, THAT BEING SAID, our guide Santiago was absolutely amazing, I dare say the best possible outcome was getting Santiago, we enjoyed very much our tour in the rain, sadly after the tour you'll want to spend 2 more weeks exploring the ruins with Santiago but we only had 2 hours.”
