5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Great fun. The guide/driver was a local, born on one of the islands. He knew the best places to go and how to drive the boat (spins etc).

My Review

Arrived at the ferry terminal early and was able to get the early ferry giving us an extra hour in Victoria. Would have been short of time if this had not been the case. Enjoyed.

Vancouver Trolley Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Vancouver, Canada

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

Ideal for finding your way around the city. We did the blue route followed directly by the red route so that we could decide where we wanted to go back too. We then used the trolley to go back to our choices, both in the afternoon and the following day

Whistler Small Group Day Trip from Vancouver

Vancouver, Canada

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

The only part of this trip that was not very good was the weather. We booked the add-on sea plane flight which was brilliant. The guide was more that helpful and very informative.

Whale-Watching Tour from Vancouver

Vancouver, Canada

My Rating
1 star rating: I do not recommend this

My Review

This is one of those trips were the wildlife has to play ball! We did see a hunchback after three hours, but no Orca's. Unfortunately, on the way back one of the boats engines broke down, meaning a huge reduction in speed. We should have been back in dock by 6 but didn't arrive until 9. We were offered a return trip for free, but, this was not possible for anybody with limited time in Vancouver. A long cold day, with only a quick glimpse of a whale and an unsatisfacory recompense.

Sian Ka’an Experience: Biosphere Reserve, Mayan Culture and Small-Group Eco-Adventure

Cancun, Mexico

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
Best trip of the holiday. Only 5 people in the minibus so really personal. Have only ever kayaked once before, but really enjoyed it. Had trouble getting out after wards, due to a recent operation, but our guide was brilliant - patient and strong! Saw a wonderful deserted beach and had the best meal of the holiday in an authentic Mexican restaurant. Only one warning - toilets not good so be prepared.

3 star rating: Worth doing

Really enjoyed Tulum. Knowledgeable guide and beautiful view. Xel-Ha was limited if you are not a good swimmer. I can swim, but am not very strong. Food average.

Chichen Itza: Light and Sound

Cancun or Puerto Morelos, Mexico

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
Had a brilliant time at Chichen Itza. We ended up in a mini bus with just 14 people, so really personal. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. However, I would not bother with the light and sound show unless you are a really enthusiastic historian. Also, food not great.

Cancun Airport Roundtrip Transfer

Cancun, Mexico

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
The only reason this has not got five stars is that we had trouble finding them at the airport. If we had known the reps' uniforms, all would have been fine.
