Paris' Pere LaChaise Gravestone Walking Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

Guide was useless. She showed us graves using a map and couldn't even find Moulieres grave. Walked up and down paths twice trying to find famous graves. Would have been better having the map ourselves.

There was a lot of people for this class - around 24 with 2 instructors and 4 benches however everyone got to do a fair amount of preparation work. Prepared a 4 course meal which we was then served downstairs in a cave. Very good

Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade
Venice, Italy
My Rating

Gondola ride good. There is a group of about 6 gondolas go out with about 4 passengers each. Music/seranade only goes on 1 boat so if you a looking for a more personable thing, just hire a gondola for Euro 80 for 30 minutes.
As usual the gondolo groups were running late and it was suppose to leave at 3:30pm and did not leave until 4:10pm.

Tour/Activity
Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
Venice, Italy
My Rating

Don't bother with tour. Better taking ferry to Murano and Burano islands and spend a bit more time at each. Torcello only had a church and you had to walk about 800m to it to see it and then walk back. You could not understand tour guide on the ferry even though it was in English - the ferry was so noisey and she spoke on a microphone from the front of the ferry - couldn't understand or hear what she said. Murano for glass factories and Burano for lace making - islands good to see but don't bother with tour.

Skip the Line: Venice in One Day
Venice, Italy
My Rating

English guide good but didn't get to skip the line to see the San Marco Church. We didn't even go inside as the queue was too long and there was no special line during Carnivale for groups. Tour only takes you from San Marco through to Rialto which you can see most of walking via the walkways.

Absolutely fantastic. Our driver, Giovani and his trainee Marco were fantastic. The small towns we visited were so different and interesting. The local restaurent we visited was great with authentic food and local wine. The winery visited with the local white sparkling wine was excellent. It was a full day but very worthwhile.

Interesting tour. Certainly worthwhile and you must book ahead to make sure you can see the Da Vinci's Last Supper as it is in a separate church to most of the other art exhibitions. Would have like to spend more time at the Castello.
