FC Barcelona Football Stadium Tour and Museum Tickets
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

Although I don't have the interest in football grounds that Geoff has, we have visited Benfica and Real Madrid grounds, and compared to them, I found this visit quite disappointing but Geoff enjoyed it. No organised tours and noone to tell us anything. It was absolutely packed with large groups of schoolboys, but maybe it wasn't the best time of the year to go!

This tour was excellent and we visited parts of the city that otherwise we might not have seen. Our English tour guide was very entertaining, friendly and told us lots of interesting facts about Barcelona. Well worth the money.

I booked this trip as a surprise present for my niece's birthday. She and her husband had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the cruise. A spectacular finale was when they passed Burswood just as the Chinese New Year firework display was starting!

Highlights of Amsterdam Sightseeing Cruise
Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Rating

The cruise was a pleasant distraction during torrential rain. However, it was enjoyable and the commentary (in three languages) was pretty good. The pilot also added some of her own information. A good trip.

USS Midway Museum
San Diego, California
My Rating

Although not having a personal interest in aircraft carriers, I did find my visit suprisingly interesting. The volunteers on board were all very passionate about the boat and were all very helpful. The boat was much bigger than I expected and although spending over three hours there, we still didn't see everything. It made for an excellent visit and I would highly recommend it.

San Francisco Vista Grande Helicopter Tour
San Francisco, California
My Rating

This helicopter trip was amazing. We had been picked up as arranged and transported to the helipad. We were lucky enough to be the only passengers as others had cancelled and I was able to sit alongside,the pilot, Ron, who gave us a great commentary as we flew around the city. It was a pity that the Golden Gate Bridge was surrounded in the famous fog, but we were still able to fly underneath it, TWICE, the highlight of the tour. It was really great and well worth the extravagance!

4x4 Dubai Desert Safari
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
My Rating

The 'dune bashing' was incredible, hair-raising yet not scary. Although the visit to the 'bedouin' camp was a bit on the 'touristy' side, it was quite fun, and the view of the setting sun was incredible. The sight of the camels and their keeper on the top of the sand dunes was also something to write home about. The 'barbecue' was OK, but with a beefburger, a lamp chop and a chicken leg, it was hardly a typical desert meal! The display of belly dancing was excellent and I was pleased we weere not asked to join in. Overall, an enjoyalbl tour.

My Rating

This was excellent and extremely well organised. A small 12 seater coach meant that the tour was more intimate and gave us the opportunity to chat with fellow travellers. The guide was very efficient and knowledgeable.

This was a good tour and was made even more interesting as we had the opportunity to get out of the city and into the countryside too. Our driver / guide was very knowledgeable and even made us some 'billy tea'.

An entertaining and varied tour. Our guide at first appeared a little formidable but we soon realised that this was not the case. She was very helpful and managed the tour extremely well, changing the itinerary according to crowds at the various stops on the tour. A fantastic finale.
