excursions

Excursions, unlike reviews, which describe a single place, highlight activities that involve more than one place or that can be done anywhere. Excursions can showcase regular weekly outings, like grabbing breakfast at your favorite greasy spoon after your child’s swim class, or they can suggest longer trip ideas, like a week-long itinerary in the Hawaiian islands that someone else already tried and enjoyed. If you want information about just a single place, reviews are where you’ll want to start.
