Capitoline Museums and Origins of Rome Walking Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: I was glad to go on this tour because our tour guide's commentary was helpful in understanding the different monuments that I just would have walked by without knowing what was so special about them, and the history of ancient Rome leading up to the present day. I loved the Lux in Arcana special exhibit at the Capitoline museums, also.

Skip the Line: Small-Group Milan Walking Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Milan, Italy
My Review: As the tour guide put it, "it's probably the most regulated 15 minutes of your life". But I appreciated her tour leading up to seeing the Last Supper painting, and her commentaries on what we were seeing.

5-Day Best of Italy Trip
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: This was a wonderful trip! I would definitely recommend it for people who want to see a lot in just 5 days. Our tour guide Alessandro was very gracious to all of us; he made sure that everyone was well taken care of and that we had enough breaks, and he didn't walk too fast for us. The historical information was very interesting, also. I felt very safe with the group, which was important for me as a woman travelling alone in a foreign country. And I got a room right on the Grand Canal in Venice, which was wonderful (though not everyone got this, it's just that the hotel had a little room for one person that they could put me in).
I think this trip is a good overview of a number of cities and towns, and by having someone else do all of the coordinating for you it saves a lot of time (it would have taken me all day to figure out how to get to Murano in Venice by myself).

Skip the Line: Borghese Gallery Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: I actually missed this tour due to being 1 hour late, because of the time changing on a different week than it does in the US, but I heard from some women that I met on a different tour later (who did go on this same tour at the same time I was signed up for) who said that it was excellent.

Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Paris, France
My Review: This was very interesting, I definitely got the feel for history and why the French people rebelled against the excesses of the French royalty. We could have used more time here, but due to traffic in Paris due to demonstrations happening that were beyond anyone's control, we had less time here.

Mont Saint Michel Day Trip
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: The stop we made on the way there was wonderful; I got to use my Frence to order a pain au chocolate at a patisserie in a little town. The lunch was also wonderful; even if omelettes are not your favorite, I appreciated the chance to try the authentic Mere Poulard omelettes that made her famous, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Mt. St. Michel itself was amazing. I was concerned the hike up it would be tiring, but we went at a reasonable pace, and even an older man with a cane could keep up. I'm so glad I went!

Paris in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: I most wanted to see the Louvre museum, the Eiffel tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral during my trip to Paris, and I was so glad to find that this tour did all of that in one day! I definitely appreciated the tour guide to lead us around, because I would have gotten lost at the Louvre and missed seeing the important works of art that everyone most wants to see there. Lunch at the Eiffel tower was delicious, just perfect. And the Seine river cruise was so relaxing.

Skip the Line: Tower of London Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: I loved going on this tour and hearing all the stories from the tour guide. I am so glad I got a skip-the-line tour, because I would have missed the last tour of the day, otherwise. The Underground and the buses stopped running to the Tower that day due to street demonstrations that were beyond anyone's control, and I had to walk several miles to get there and cross several police lines on the streets. But I made it!
