Table Mountain and Cape Town Half-Day Trip
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
My Review: The tour guide (named "Super") was outstanding. He was very informative on the entire history of Cape Town and did his best to get us to Table Mountain after the fog lifted. Outstanding.

Cultural Cape Town - Langa and Khayelitsha
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
My Review: Outstanding tour! It's great to see the positive things happening in the South African townships. Some of the friendliest people I've met. The tour guide was great in sharing his personal experiences with apartheid, too. Overall A+ tour.

Newgrange and Monasterboice Day Trip from Dublin
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Dublin, Ireland
My Review: This trip was a great time. The tombs at Newgrange are really well preserved.

Dublin Historical Walking Tour including Trinity College
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Dublin, Ireland
My Review: The historical information shared by the guide was fascinating, but I'd like to have had more stops that were relevant to the conversation. Most were, but one stop in particular reeked of urine and we were there for about 20 minutes.

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Day Trip from London
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Windsor Castle is without a doubt the best castle in Europe (and I've been to Neuschwanstein).
Oct032010
London Full-Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: As someone who had been to London a few times and was taking the family there for the first time, this was a great way to see the highlights of the city when you don't have much time. If you have more time, I suggest taking it to see everything London has to offer. But if you are limited, take this tour. It will definitely make you hungry for more.

Athens Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Athens, Greece
My Review: Prompt pickup from our hotel, and the Tour guide was smart enough to veer from the established plan and take us to the acropolis first to avoid crowds. Highly Recommended.

Athens Night Sightseeing Tour with Greek Dinner Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Athens, Greece
My Review: The food and wine were very good and the traditional Greek dancing show was even better. They were great about accommodating my child, too. Highly recommended.

Paris Shuttle Departure Transfer: Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Cheaper than a taxi, but still pretty expensive. Actual arrival times are unpredictable because of picking up multiple people.
Jul012009
Dinner Cruise with "La Marina de Paris" and Moulin Rouge Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Paris, France
My Review: The food was mostly pretty good, just not really my taste! The boat ride was nice, the route passed many scenic things in Paris. The staff were very nice and professional.

Versailles Guided Tour with Optional Fountain Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Versailles was pretty crowded, but I still enjoyed this. A very beautiful palace.

Skip the Line: Paris Louvre Museum Guided Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: The guide was a little dry, but I enjoyed it. I'm not a big art guy, I just wanted to see the big stuff. My wife is more into art and would've enjoyed it more to just go without the guide.

Paris Walking Tour - The French Revolution
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: The guide basically gave a walking history lesson and he definitely knew what he was talking about. He even called out rude people that walked right in the middle of our group during one of the stops. Cool points for that.

Andalusian Dinner and Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Barcelona, Spain
My Review: I wish the food options had been more than just seafood. I'm not a seafood guy at all. It didn't help that the fish was looking at me when they brought it. But the dancing more than made up for it. The flamenco show is enough by itself to justify the price. Great fun.

Small-Group Hiking Tour in St Miquel del Fai
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Barcelona, Spain
My Review: This was a spectacular experience. The area was gorgeous and the guides were outstanding. Everyone in my party enjoyed this. If you're going to Barcelona, do this.

Amsterdam Canals Candlelight Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: It was OK. Nothing spectacular.

Amsterdam Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: The hop-on hop-off is a really good idea for most cities, but not for Amsterdam. You get some free tickets for some interesting stuff with the tour, but nothing I would've paid for by itself. You're better off walking or taking the tram to wherever you want to go because the bus doesn't come near as often. Good idea for any other city, though.

Austrian Lakes and Mountains Salzburg Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: The guide was very flexible and the boat ride was definitely worth taking. St. Wolfgang is gorgeous. The tour company did forget to pick us up, but they made up for it by sending a taxi and footing the bill.
Oct112008
The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: Good tour, knowledgeable guide. However, I was expecting more. Most of the really interesting places from the movie were just driven by on the tour. We found them the day after the tour while exploring on our own.

Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade with Dinner
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Venice, Italy
My Review: The gondolier singer was good. This was something that had I not read other reviews, I would've been disappointed. But I knew what to expect, so everything was pretty good.

Skip the Line: Venice in One Day
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Venice, Italy
My Review: The only drawback was that the walking tour guide took us to some places that were obviously time filler to talk about meaningless stuff. Not a bad tour, though. I wished I could've gone inside the Dodge's Palace. Boat tour was outstanding and very informative.

The Story of Venice Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Venice, Italy
My Review: The dinner was ridiculous. The finger food tasted horrible and there was almost nowhere to sit. The show used live actors combined with video. The video was really lame but informative. The live actors were outstanding. I recommend going to this if you want to learn something, because you will learn everything about the city, but skip the dinner!
Note from Viator: We're sorry to hear your experience wasn't more enjoyable. There's a wide diversity of opinion on the quality of the dinner provided, so we're following up with the team in Venice. Rest assured, we'll do everything possible to ensure the quality and value of the Venice Carnival experience.
