Skip the Line: Small-Group Milan Walking Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Milan, Italy
My Review: I did this on my first morning in Milan and the french guide with impeccable english and italian together with his i-pad(!) gave a very good talk as we walked plus we had access to The Last Supper which was fully booked for that day. Taking in the Cathedral, La Scala and the castle Sforza from the outside it gives an insight into the history and geography of the main part of central Milan.

Champagne Tasting on a Seine River Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Travelled to Paris with my 90 year old aunt, hope I have her genes! This tour was lovely, they made a fuss of her, there was plenty of champagne and the tour finished in time for a rather quiet supper. Good idea to eat a little something before!

Paris L'Open Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Had the 2 day ticket and got to see all the parts of the city that I particularly wanted to plus a few new areas. We were lucky with the weather and travelled a great deal on the top deck with good photo opportunities. Sometimes a wait when changing lines but overall a good way to see the city.

Sydney Harbour Tall Ship Twilight Dinner Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Sydney, Australia
My Review: Weather fantastic so enjoyable experience with information about the ship from the crew. It was lovely to be out on the water with the engine off and sails billowing. Barbecue food good if not stunning and plenty of photo opportunities before arriving back after the sun had set.

Hunter Valley Wineries and Wilderness Small-Group Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Sydney, Australia
My Review: Small group enjoyed a trip via the reptile farm for close ups with a koala and kangaroos amongst other animals and then through some lanes where we saw kangaroos in the wild. Wines were tasted at broken Ridge, rather too many without any dry biscuits or something else to mop up some of the alcohol, then lunch at Hunter valley resort with more wine and then another winery before stopping at a rather overpriced chocolate and cheese shop, very sleepy on the way back! Arangements good in terms of pick up etc, wineries mainly large corporate type although last a bit smaller. Personally could have done without the chocolate/cheese stop but on the whole a good tour.

J. Paul Getty Museum
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Los Angeles, California
My Review: The place warrants at least 5 stars but the fact the tour only gives you 4.5 hours there is a real shame, there is more than enough to happily spend the day wandering around the most lovely buildings and gardens. Great collections with regular talks on different topics throughout the day make this a pretty special place. Entry is free so you are only paying for transport but public transport is minimal so only way to get there if you have no car.

Universal Studios Hollywood General Admission Ticket
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Los Angeles, California
My Review: Glad I went by subway so could leave after lunch! Enjoyed the tour of the backlot and it was good to see the special effects live rather than on tv but nothing there that was new, although they did their best to make it entertaining. The archives are restricted to 2 rooms, as for the rest, a series of fairground type rides although did stop for a short blues set in one of the theatres. As you can see not really my thing but fans of Desperate Housewives get to see Wysteria Drive and kids small (and large) were apparently enjoying the rides so I'm clearly just grumpy old woman!
