Tulum and Xel-Ha All Inclusive Day Trip from Cancun

Cancun, Mexico

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This tour was really great. I liked the mix of history and also leisure. I thought the price was steep, but then when I saw Xel-Ha, I felt it was well worth it. The food was amazing. We had enough time to explore and it was overall perfect.

My Review

This was by far the BEST trip of our entire 2-month itinerary. I am so pleased with the service, especially of the family from Killarney and the tour office there. Our guides were ALL amazing. It was completely hassle-free, laid-back, fun, entertaining, and enlightening. DO this tour!

Warwick Castle, Oxford, Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon Custom Day Trip

London, United Kingdom

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

The Cotswolds are a letdown. I really wanted to see the "witches'" homes, ha, but this cannot be done on a tour bus. Warwick Castle is such a joke. We paid so much to do everything, because otherwise you are sitting on a bus at Warwick. Shakespeare's house/Stratford are cute... I think they should also visit the church where Shakespeare is born. I say: Much Ado About Nothing!

Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Cliffs of Dover Custom Day Trip

London, United Kingdom

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

First of all, being on the "custom" trip is a joke. They make it sound Ok, but you are literally left in a parking lot at Leeds Castle. Lame!! Cliffs of Dover=really lame and the only thing really worth anything is the Canterbury Cathedral. Still, you get what you pay for and there is no way we could have seen all of these in one day any other way. You need a week at the Cliffs of Dover, which I would never do anyway!

Versailles and Giverny Day Trip

Paris, France

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

Monet's gardens are wonderful. Take a second to have everyone clear off the bridge to get a good shot. Versailles is all inside. We RAN through the gardens. You need more time there. We were there for Bastille Day and didn't get to see any celebrations.

Danube Valley Day Trip from Vienna

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

I agree with others in that the boat ride is long and like a floating restaurant. It needs to be more lounge-y and laid back. It was hard to get shade and a good view unless you were eating. Would still recommend this trip for the river and sites along the way and the abbey.

Our tour guide was really informative and sweet. The boat across the lake, however, is not really all that optional. I thought we would have a choice, but the bus waits on the tether side.

My Review

I understand that it was raining on the day that we went on the bus... but the waits were extremely long. In addition to this, the rudest bus driver told us that we had FIVE minutes at the Golden Gate Bridge. He went to the bathroom and then left us after about THREE minutes (in the rain, mind you). One bus driver was really good. He was on the smallest shuttle bus. Oh well.
