Private Tour: KL Tower Revolving Restaurant Buffet Dinner and Central Market Night Tour
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
My Rating
My Review
Thoroughly enjoyable. We would suggest that the Central Markets section should take about an hour -- and it might be more appropriate to mention it before the KL Tower Buffet Dinner, as this is the order in which the tour is conducted. The buffet and views from the revolving retaurant were magnificent.

My Review
This was our second tour on the same day, after the Sistine Chapel. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Colosseum, but were flagging at the end and eventually decided against the second half, scaling the Pallotine Hill. We had no option but the two tours on the same day, but a general recommendation would be to avoid this if possible. Our tour guide was good, though few could have matched the morning guide at the Sistine Chapel.

My Review
One of the real highlights, words are inadequate and we had the good fortune to have a guide who clearly enjoyed his work, as well as knowing his subject. The resulting combination proved unbeatable.

Naples and Pompeii Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating
My Review
Once again, a tour that should not be missed, despite the extended bus travel involved. Our disappointment on this tour was not what we saw, which was in the same remarkable category as so many other tours we took, but in the tour guide, who was easily the poorest of all involved. That detracted from the visit, although we were still able to marvel at the architecture of 2000 years ago.

Private Tour: Venice Gondola Ride with Serenade

My Review
No tour of Venice would be complete without gondola ride and we were happy that we had paid the extra for the private tour for the four of us. It filled in the balance of the picture in the limited time we had.

An excellent tour that showed all the essential highlights, from the main piazza to the back streets. The tour guide was very good and worked hard at keeping us out of the sun on what was an extremely hot day.

Foxtown Outlet Shopping Tour
Milan, Italy
My Rating
My Review
An experience, but we found the outlet a little disjointed and were disappointed that some could not speak English at all. We would have thought that was a pre-requisite. The tour could be improved by better location mapping.

The tour itself was excellent, although all four of us felt that the tour guide was only satisfactory. The tour operator proved efficient and helpful.
