Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe (from Zurich)
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Zurich, Switzerland
My Review: This was an amazing tour - the scenery alone was worth evey penny of the price. Our tour guide was just fabulous. I'm afraid of heights and forgot it while on the cog train. Just wonderful!

My Review: Beautiful tour simply because Lucerne is so lovely. We were combined with a Spanish group which was a bit disconcerting. However the guide managed it all.

Mozart Concert and Dinner at Stiftskeller in Salzburg
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Salzburg, Austria
My Review: This dinner and concert was the best memory of an entire month of memories. Dinner was a bit screwy though - they had one menu out and served something completely different. Was not sure why that happened. The music was perfect!

Hitler and the Third Reich Munich Walking Tour

My Review: The guide for this tour was terrible - he had limited social skills and no knowledge of the history of the tour. This COULD have been a great tour and really was a total bust.

May172010
Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands Small Group Day Trip from Edinburgh
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Review: This was a lovely trip through the beautiful Scottish countryside. I felt that there was quite a bit of time taken up however stopping at rest stops for photo ops and not enough time at Loch Ness - you could either ride the boat or have lunch but not both. This was not good. So that needs to be better balanced. Other than that, lovely day.

Artistic Barcelona Afternoon Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Barcelona, Spain
My Review: I was pleased to see all of the lovely architecture in Barcelona. On hindsight, I would have done a different tour to be able to see more of Barcelona, rather than focus on Gaudi's stuff.

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums Walking Tour including Sistine Chapel, Raphael's Rooms and St Peter's
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: This tour was OK - you saw the Vatican museums for sure, but by the time you had wound your way through all the small and hot rooms to get to the Sistine Chapel, you were exhausted. Took too long to get to the Sistine for sure. And I grew tired of having every fresco and every statue explained to me by the guide. But, the Basilica was incredible and skipping the line was worth it.
Sep052008
Ancient Rome Half-Day Walking Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: Wonderful - a great way to see ancient Rome. I loved it. The main thing is that this is a WALKING tour, so people needed to understand that and come prepared. If you were prepared, it was wonderful.
