Skip The Line: Best of Florence Walking Tour including Accademia Gallery and Duomo
Florence, Italy
My Rating

I thought that this tour was just "okay". A lot of the sights that were visited could have easily been done on my own. The "Skip the Line" was misleading in my opinion because our group ended up having to wait 15 minutes to enter the Accademia Gallery. There was also a wait to enter the Duomo, but you do not need a ticke to enter the Duomo. If interested in seeing David at the Accademia, I would recommend some type of ticket in advance, but the other sights visited on this tour can easily be done on your own.

When I booked this tour, I booked it mainly for my wife because it was something that she wanted to do. But I have to admit that I actually enjoyed it! If you visit Venice, a gondola ride is a must even if it seems "touristy"!

My wife and I spent a busy week visiting the various cities in Italy and took many tours along the way. This was probably our favorite tour! Our favorite part of the tour was definitely the winery with the wine tasting and lunch. The different stops at the various cities and the go at your own pace was a nice change. Definitely enjoyed the stop in Pisa and thanks to the tour guide Michelle, my wife and I were able to caputre the "cheesy" photograph with the leaning tower of Pisa. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Florence.

Skip the Line: Ancient Rome and Colosseum Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

I booked this tour with the main focus on the Colosseum. I booked the upgrade to the newly opened upper ring and lower level and was not disappointed. The majority of the time on this tour was spent at the Colosseum which was okay with me. The remaining sights that were visited were interesting as well. I was a little disappointed that Circus Maximus was closed but not much you can do about it. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome and would definitely recommend the upgrade at the Colosseum.

This tour paid for itself if for no other reason than the "Skip the Line" aspect. The line to get into the Vatican without reservations seemed to go on forever. The actual tours itself was pretty good....a lot of information and a lot of beautiful artwork.

Best of Rome Walking Tour: Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain
Rome, Italy
My Rating

A lot of the sights visited on this tour could easily be done on your own. The tour stopped at the Pantheon and was supposed to include entrance into building but during our tour the Pantheon was closed so that was a little disappointing. The main attractions on the tour were the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Pantheon. All of these attractions could be don on your own and not take as much time. Not sure I would recommend this tour.
