Prince William and Kate: The Royal Wedding Walking Tour
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

It was a lovely day for a walk about Mayfair with a knowledgeable guide the day after the wedding. I should think your enjoyment would depend a lot on the weather, but so far as it's in the control of the guides, a nice insight into the free and easy royal lifestyle.

Edinburgh Rail Day Trip from London
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

Fine trip for the semi-independent traveler, puts the right tickets in your hand, but that's about it. If you knew your way, you could do more for less. If you really need help, you'd want a guide. For me, it was just about right: rail tickets and hop on hop off. The train back was crowded, but it worked out fine for me. Loved Edinburgh and the scenic ride.

Nuremberg Day Trip from Munich
Munich, Germany
My Rating

Nice trip and excellent guidance from Alun (the one with Welsh spelling, he said, not to be confused with another sounding the same) and Jason. Most travelers on my trip shopped in the free time, but I got a lot out of the documentation center and wished I had more time there.

Romantic Road, Rothenburg and Harburg Day Tour from Munich
Munich, Germany
My Rating

Rothenburg is worth the trip, and Harburg fills out the day. Harburg has exhibits set up and guides to make it more memorable than it might otherwise be. Rothenburg is loaded with sites and shops. Be sure to have your camera handy for a picture in the stocks at the Museum of Criminality-you don't even have to see the whole museum for that.

Royal Castles of Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Day Tour from Munich
Munich, Germany
My Rating

A really remarkable and fascinating tour showing Liberace-esque excesses of Bavarian royalty. A must for fans of fairy tale castles, Wagner, royalty, or scenic beauty.

Budapest Day Trip from Vienna
Vienna, Austria
My Rating

Budapest is enormously interesting, beyond what you may see in pictures, and the wry wit of my guide made it even moreso.

Limerick, Cliffs of Moher, Burren and Galway Bay Rail Tour from Dublin
Dublin, Ireland
My Rating

Spectacular views! Spectacular! Wishing you a beautiful day as I had, and if you wear contact lenses, goggles may be in order, or be sure to have a mirror and solution in your kit, as the wind is almost as spectacular as the view. Very nice lunch in a Doolin pub. Terrific guidance from Dave and his colleague Frank and skillful driving by retired banker (I think that was a joke?) Michael.
