2-Day Tour to Meteora from Athens
Athens, Greece
My Rating

We really enjoyed seeing the Meteora monestaries but the tour its self was pretty boring. On the first day, the trip to Delpi was long and the tour guide was very dull and uninteresting. We were not explained very well what would happen after Delpi, which left us very unsure and unaware. We didn't stop for lunch till 3pm and was not warned of this, so after no food since 6am, it was a long painful day. The tour guide for Meteora was ok. She had a lot of info but her delivery method was plain. The beautiful monistaries made up for all the bad.

What a waste of time and money!!! All we did was drive around in circles, then get off at the Acropolis and stand around in the boiling sun for the guide to read out of a book... Should have just done ourselves.

Really enjoyed this tour. The guide was informative and interesting. She knew all the answers to our questions. The Vatican and St Peters were stunning to see in real life.

My husband really enjoyed this tour, but he wasn't prepared for a full on workout! He was the only one in the group, which I think made it better as he got 1 on 1 attention. I didn't pay for the tour, but he was still happy to lead me around the museum and let me try on the helmets and armour. Quite a hike out of central Rome, not walkable in the August sun!

My Rating

Excellent! We loved our tour guide! She was so funny and kept it light and enjoyable. So glad we took a Segway, we were sweating like crazy and we wern't even walking. Got to see all the great sights and excelelnt info. We did one in Florence, but this one was heaps better.

Florence, Italy
My Rating

Huge day, got to see so much and learned a lot. Lunch at the vinyard was yum, but super super hot.The restaurant didn't have aircon, so dripping sweat by 50 ppl crammed into a small room was not enjoyable. The local tour guide in Sienna was great too.

Small-Group Italian Cooking Class in Florence
Florence, Italy
My Rating

This was really fun! My husband who is not a huge fan of cooking really got into it. The market visit and tastings was excellent. The 2nd chef Antonio was so friendly, and we ran into him a few days after and he was still interested in talking to us. Giovani the main chef was ok, but came accross a bit pushy. Would have been good to have an advanced cooking class for those who know their stuff.

Florence Segway Tour

My Rating

The Segway was loads of fun and beated walking, and we got very peronalised info as was just 2 of us on the tour. The lady who tought us to ride the Segway was really stressed out and very pushy. She would not let us get off the Segway which made my feet ache something shocking. In Rome, we were taught to park the segway so we could stop and take photos. Much better. Was nice to have a rest stop in the middle too.

Murano was great. Loved the glass blowing. Burano and Torcello was intersting but not a lot to see there. The guide was very removed and did not get off the stops with us. Just told us the facts and stayed on the boat.

My husband and I were dissapointed we couldn't sit together. They sat us on oposite sides of the gondola. Felt like we went through the back streets too!

Orkney Islands Day Trip from Inverness
Inverness, United Kingdom
My Rating

Bad! Did not think we would have to sit in a shared local bus for 3 hours to get to John O'Groats. Tour guide on the bus was a giggling teenager who read from a guide book. Once at Orkney, was very unorganised and did not know what bus to get on. The tour guide was the bus driver, who could not keep the facts going because he had to concentrate on driving. If you really want to see the sights, rent a car and do it yourself!

Private Viewing of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock

This was really good. The tour guide was funny and really interesting. Stonehenge was cold, but goo to have lots of spare time to take in the beauty. Bath was fantastic too, but felt very rushed. An extra hour would have been great!

Warwick Castle, Stratford, Oxford and the Cotswolds Day Trip from London

My Rating

Warwick was excellent, but had next to no time there. Only 45 minutes I think. Hardly enough time to see a castle. Oxford was really run down and a bit dissapointing. The tour guide put us all to sleep with her recitals of Shakespear...
