Day Trips Wishlist
After taking my side trip from London to Paris in December, I’ll have to admit that I’m hooked on the idea of extending a vacation with an extra day trip. I’ve paid for the plane ticket, I’ve booked a hotel, and you tell me that I’m only 3 hours from something extraordinary? Sleep is for other people, I’m headed out sightseeing!
Here’s the top seven-day trips on my wishlist pulled from our top tours and day trips in January. And, before you ask it, yes it’s not all one trip (unless someone invents tele-transportation this year).
1. Full Day Tour to Naples and Pompeii. After sifting through the 50+ reviews on this tour, it’s hard not to want to go.
2. England’s Finest: Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Georgian Bath. Alas, I missed mystical Stonehenge last time.
3. Blue Mountains Deluxe Eco Day Tour. As, Nicole S. describes in her review “We did not feel like tourists, but instead, specially invited guests, as though the tour was personalized for us.”
4. Uluru, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs tour. Sipping champagne at sunrise at Uluru (Ayers Rock) on this 3-day independent tour seems pretty fantastic, if you ask me.
5. Mt Fuji and Hakone Day Tour (return by Bullet Train). The quintessential portrait of a volcano? Mt. Fuji. Reviews warn that it’s a long, but very worthwhile day of sightseeing.
6. Niagara Falls by Air. Check out the reviews to see the person who became engaged on this tour! Love is definitely in the air.
7. Day Tour to The Royal Castles of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof. I’ve heard that this tour is a must if you travel to Bavaria.
Let’s see, Munich, New York, Tokyo, Ayers Rock, Sydney, London and Rome? Where’s the tele-porting transportation when you need it. I swear I’ll narrow the list to (a more realistic) two countries eventually.
