Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Los Angeles, California
My Review: We had a wonderful time here! Skipping the line was definitely worth the extra $$. The passes were so useful that I actually started feeling bad walking pass all the people who had been queue for (probably) a long while. I highly recommend you to opt for the Skip the Line pass!

Los Angeles Romantic Helicopter Night Flight
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Los Angeles, California
My Review: I took this helicopter tour with my husband. We were so excited to do and it was worth it! Unfortunately our schedule was so tight that we had to rearrange it to be during the daytime (rather than the night tour). They were so kind and understanding and without any objections allowed us to do the tour during the day. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have the best LA trip!

Rio de Janeiro Airport Roundtrip Private Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My Review: Definitely recommend this to all! The traffic can be very bad in Rio so it is best to leave the transportation to the pros! It was the best feeling to hop off a long haul flight to find a wonderful driver/guide waiting for us. She was friendly and also knowledgeable about touristic attractions and touristic tips. This was a great start to our Rio trip.

Botanical Garden (Jardim Botanico)
Attraction
My Rating:
Location: Rio de Janeiro
My Review: Don't forget to visit this Botanical Garden in Rio! I am glad I had extra time left to visit this as it was definitely a highlight of our trip. We came across so howling / screaming monkeys ( I have no idea what they were ) but they were not aggressive. A great place to bring kids to as it is very spacious and from time to time you will get to see some interesting animals.

California Academy of Sciences NightLife
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: San Francisco, California
My Review: I have been here before, but the first time I booked from a different site and it was just as convenient. The great thing about booking on Viator for my second time round was that I could book at the very last minute! What a great service! Anyways, the California Academy of Science Nightlife was fun. It is a very different type of 'night out' in San Francisco. There were lots of people, but not too crowded. I had some great cocktails (wish I remember the names). The exhibits were fantastic and the music from the D.J. was not bad either, it was a good addition to the atmosphere. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a different kind of night out in San Francisco!

Hollywood Strip Helicopter Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Los Angeles, California
My Review: I have been on other helicopter tours but this helicopter tour of the Hollywood Strip is my absolute favourite! I could write a very long article on how wonderful this helicopter tour was for us but I will try to keep it short: The Limo Service: We chose the tour option with the limo service (we were told that it was a bit of a drive and passes through a rough neighborhood). This advice is correct! Our meeting point to get picked up was in front of the Kodak theater. The drive was about 30 minutes (a bit of traffic). There was a minibar in the 'Cruiser' which we did not use but was there if we needed anything. The Helicopter Tour: The helicopter was very small but - I do not mean this in a bad way at all - if anything , it was great! Because it was so small it felt more personalized. The windows were huge giving us the most amazing unobstructed views. We flew over celebrity homes (or should I say palaces!) including those belonging to Aaron Spelling, David Beckham, Tom Cruise, and Johnny Depp. We also flew over the beach and to make it perfect - we saw two dolphins jump out of the water! And of course, we flew so close to the Hollywood sign that we had to take the pictures in multiple shots! We passed numerous LA / Hollywood landmarks as well including the Disney Concert Hall. It was one of my favorite and memorable moments during my visit. I will be definitely recommending this to others and would not even mind doing it again (if the opportunity arises). This is a highly recommended helicopter tour to do in LA!

Mini Baja Buggy Half-Day Tour from Las Vegas
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
My Review: Wow! I read other reviews about it being a "roller-coaster ride" but did not realize how true this was! This dune buggy tour is definitely the most unique tour I have done in Las Vegas. This tour is not for the faint of heart; we drove quickly through sand dunes, flew off high cliffs and endured bumpy rocky paths. I highly recommend this tour for those who love speed, adrenaline rushes and seek a unique experience in Las Vegas. You will get completely covered in sand so plan ahead on what you are going to wear!

Ubud
Attraction
My Rating:
Location: Bali
My Review: We stayed in Ubud for 3 nights and it was truly relaxing. I wish I remembered the name of all the temples I visited but I am just awful with names! The temples were so beautiful in terms of thee architecture and its fine craftsmanship. The gardens in the temples were filled with beautiful flowers and greenery. I really enjoyed visiting the temples. Traveler tip: The temples have dress codes so if you do not want to be wrapped up in a sarong, dress appropriately. The Monkey Temple was also alot of fun. It was very big and yes, filled with monkeys. Ubud is also popular for its arts and crafts so you will find many shops selling some fantastic paintings. We bought one as souvenir. Traveler tip: Don't be shy to haggle when buying these paintings!

Chatuchak Market
Attraction
My Rating:
Location: Bangkok
My Review: Every time I plan my trip to Bangkok, Chatuchak Market (also known as JJ Market) is always on the top of my to-do list! It may be excruciatingly hot, but it is one of my favorite places and one of my favorite things to do in Bangkok. There is a vast range of things to buy and see; from animals, home-ware to food. I would give this Bangkok attraction 5 stars but it loses a star for being extremely hot.
