★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 897 reviews · from $43Our pick

White Orchid River Cruise review: Bangkok night views, Thai and international buffet, live music, cabaret, tips, value, and practical booking advice.

“The cruise was very well organized from boarding to checkout.i will strongly recommend for anyone visiting Bangkok. The cruise offers plenty to suit multiple tastes. There's great entertainment onboard across two floors and if you want to experience the city from the beautiful river, there couldn't be a better option either. The food was great for non vegetarians.non vegetarian options are very limited. If you have limited time and only an evening, would surely recommend this cruise.”

2.2-Hour Botanic Garden Tour in Akoursos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 50 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $12Best value

Review of the 2-hour Adonis Botanic Garden Tour near Paphos, with herbs, waterfalls, essential oils, views, and practical booking tips.

“An absolutely hidden gem. If you love nature, flowers, aromatherapy, herbal remedies or all things wild and spiritual, you're sure to have a great time. Dr Michaelis is so knowledgable and passionate about his subject and his beautiful place and the €10 fee for the tour and tasting was amazing value. We somehow managed to lose four entire hours there and we didn't even stay for a meal or swim in the pool! Will definitely be back to order more of the wonderful products he makes and for a night or two chilling out in the glamping pods. I'm on my 31st visit to Cyprus and thought I'd run out…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · 2 hours · from $54

Review of Kyoto’s 2-hour Nijo Castle tour, covering gardens, palaces, guides, price, meeting point, and who will get the most from it.

“Very interesting and fun tour with my guide Seana. Plenty of time to focus more in detail to some of the spots within the castle or Ninomaru palace. It was fun to find together with Seana the "floating peacock" panel in Ohiroma Ni-no-ma (second room) within Ninomaru palace that is not visible from the beaten track. As she speaks Japanese we could ask the staff to assist us in our "discovery"! Seana shared in depth stories too about the castle giving it a personal touch from the guide's point of view. It was interesting and I enjoyed the tour very much, highly recommend! Only one remark, GtG should include an…”
