Singapore Private Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
Singapore, Singapore
My Rating

Helpful and friendly driver. TIP: Just make sure a private transfer has sufficient room for luggage if travelling in a group. The same firm does a shuttle service with loads of luggage space.

Phillip Island Little Penguins Parade Evening Tour
Melbourne, Australia
My Rating

A pleasant trip, but beware penguins don't cross the beach until sunset, so can be difficult to see. Also, we visited during the moulting season when most penguins don't go to sea, so don't parade back! Expected hundreds of parading penguins and saw about 40 , but we did see lots more in the sand-dunes from the boardwalks. Very good visitor centre. Cameras and lights are forbidden in the 'live' penguin areas.

Sydney Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
Sydney, Australia
My Rating

Timely and 'did what it says on the tin' , but surely the most miserable driver in the Sydney? Hardly a word , and clearly sees his future doing something else! ( Could hardly believe he was the same driver, in the same mood, who brought us from the airport!)

Blue Mountains Nature and Wildlife Day Tour from Sydney
Sydney, Australia
My Rating

A very full day. Driver/guide talked incessantly for literally hours from the time we boarded. He wanted us to attend an aboriginal 'experience' en-route to our Blue Mt. destination,( extra charge) but we all resisted. The buffet lunch is well worth the extra, but means it's impossible to see all there is at the destination. Weather will inevitably affect the enjoyment of the trip. Very good wildlife park stop on outskirts of Sydney on return. We opted for the river cruise back into the city, if only to avoid the inane chatter from the driver.

Be ready for plenty of luggage tugging in this large airport before reaching the transfer vehicle. Did what we required, but driver was thoroughly miserable ( and we got him for our return transfer- How many drivers are there in Sydney?!)

A driver of few words and hasn't majored in the customer service we expect in the U.S. Did what we needed - End of....

Harlem Wednesday-Morning Gospel Tour
New York City, New York
My Rating

If you want a true gospel service experience you might be disappointed, and should look at the Sunday version of this tour. We had an excellent and informative guide( Len) and enjoyed the tour, but the church 'service' element is largely an opportunity for the excellent choir to have a blast and try to sell some dvds to tourists. Having attended gospel worship in Barbados, this was a mild imitation!

Top of the Rock Observation Deck, New York

A different experience to the Empire State Building. Ascend as light starts to fail to enjoy the day and night vistas across the city. TIP: Look for the Chrysler Building- Surely the most beautiful high-rise in NYC?

Go at dusk to experience the city by day and as the lights start to welcome the night. Truly fabulous. Rather a laborious security process - Don't forget to take your passport ( I did and was initially treated as a security threat)

Just shows how a driver can improve an experience. This guy was friendly, helpful, timely and gave us tips on reaching the airport.Stark contrast to driver who transferred us to our hotel!
