Holland in One Day Sightseeing Tour

Amsterdam, Netherlands

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

This was as advertised a quick tour. I would have liked a more time at the political sites in the Haig and not gone to the miniature tour. If you have just a little time, this is worth it.

Cape Point Sightseeing Tour

Cape Town, South Africa

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

If you have a full day take the longer, full day tour. But if you are like us and only have a half day this is a great tour. Our tour guide was exceptional from the pick up at the hotel to the return.

An outstanding day trip, not a safari but if you only have a short time to see animals in the wild this is great. Hospitality and food was superb.

Cape Town City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Cape Town, South Africa

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The hop-on hop-off is our first stop in any city especially if we arrive early and waiting for the room to be available. The best way to get a quick overview of the city, Cape Town was no different. The two loops gave us an excellent overview of the city and serounding sites.

Mont Saint Michel Day Trip

Paris, France

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The tour guide was excellent. The tour bus was very nice and comfortable. The lunch was a bit rushed, the restaurant was not staffed to handle the crowd when we arrived. It was worth the wait because our tour guide was so good taking us though the Monastery. For a second trip I would suggest forgoing the lunch because there are plenty of restaurants at the Mont and recored tour available at the entrance. The lunch was the local Omelet and salmon, if you don't like these go for the option without the lunch.

Historical Revolution Walking Tour

Budapest, Hungary

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

This is relatively new and being developed. The tour guide was excellent and the consolidation of the statues was nice. A map of where they were in the city would have been a nice touch. The museum is still in development, there was a nice movie taken from the cold war archives on how spies were trained. the gift shop was just items available at the ticket booth, a little disappointing. It was worth the trip think it will be a much better experience in a couple of years if they continue on there current pace.

Excellent Tour, guides on the Parliament and city tour were friendly, knowledgable and spoke very good english. This provided the right level of information and tour to permit planning for return to specific sites on later days. A very good experience.
