So much fun, and definitely the best way to see Tuscany! Our guide, Graham, made us feel really safe as we weaved out of Florence and into the hills. Learned lots about Florence and Tuscany and finished with a delicious antipasti meal. Perfetto!

Great day out in London! Our guide, Ferry, was fantastic -- really engaging and funny. Enjoyed exploring Fortnum & Mason, discovering Paul A Young, and most especially, the salted caramel truffles!

My Review
Couldn’t have had a better start to our holiday than walking round in the sunshine eating great food with great people. Luma was not only passionate about food and Rome, but she was also one of the most personable and friendly guides we’ve had on a tour. Loved the trip to Testaccio market, the amazing Carbonara, the suppli and most of all the Zabaione gelato!

Amazing Vatican tour with Tiffany! Did this tour on my birthday, and it was the best start to a birthday ever. Despite the fact I'm not really an art enthusiast, Tiffany made the Vatican Museum’s artwork come to life, telling our small group fascinating tales of Michelangelo and Raphael. When we went in the Sistine Chapel we felt like we understood some of the meaning behind the Last Judgment and the Creation of Adam. Great experience!

Small-Group Ancient Rome and Colosseum Tour: Underground Chambers, Arena and Upper Tier

My Rating
My Review
Walking through the underground of the Colosseum was fantastic, then we went onto the arena floor to see where the gladiators fought their battles. This part was incredible, and we had lots of time to take photos while our lovely guide, Maurizio, who filled us in on all the gory details of the gladiator games. Exploring the Roman Forum with a guide was amazing too.

Rome Night Segway Tour

My Review
Really fun tour with our guide Marco! Felt much more safe than I have on other Segway tours; Marco made sure everyone was able to ride round ok and felt confident before setting off. We scooted to all the top sights like the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain, as well as more random places like Berlusconi’s home! We had enough time to feel like we’d seen the best of Rome, and doing it at night was so much more pleasant than in the soaring daytime heat!

Our friendly driver, Silvio, was early to pick us up from our hotel, and so we got to the airport in plenty of time. So nice to travel without any hassle in an air conditioned BMW. As with our arrival transfer, everything was just as you’d expect a good transfer to be!

Great pickup service. As soon as we went into the arrivals hall, we were met by Paolo, our friendly, suited-and-booted driver. Quick transfer to our hotel near Rome Termini in a clean, spacious and air conditioned car. Just as a transfer should be!

Florence River Cruise on a Traditional Barchetto

My Review
Such a great way to start your evening in Florence! The light on the River Arno at the time the tour takes place is beautiful, really soft, meaning we were able to take some great pictures of the Ponte Vecchio as we sailed. Our guide, Omar was really friendly and had lots of interesting tales to tell about the city! Finishing with a glass of Prosecco, this boat ride was a lovely early-evening experience.

Fantastic day trip from Florence! Glass after glass of beautiful wine (Chianti Classico, Super Tuscan), great food and simply gorgeous scenery. Our guide Matteo was really knowledgeable and friendly -- telling us everything we wanted to know about the region and the wine-making process. We felt like proper wine buffs by the end of the tour!

Wow! Without a doubt, this is the most amazing Monaco experience! Great service from the people who help you onto the helicopter, to the pilot himself. It was a gorgeous sunny day when we did this, and the views over Monaco and the coast were unforgettable.

London's Top Breakfast Spots
London
My Recommendation Tip
My best London weekends always start with a great London breakfast. Ideally in a quirky venue where I can babble about last night’s antics with a friend or two. With precious few hours on a weekend morning, don’t waste time in a bad place. So a few tips for my best London breakfasts:
-The Wolseley, near Green Park tube and Buckingham Palace – When you have cash to flash
- Bob Bob Ricard, near Oxford Circus tube, Soho – A fun venue, great if you have a big group
- Fox & Anchor, near Farringdon tube – A cheaper eat in a traditional London pub. Sorts a hangover out!
- The Cinnamon Club, near Westminster tube – For when you’re feeling adventurous. A British breakfast with an Indian twist
Enjoy!
