Buenos Aires Dining Experience: Empanada Making, Steak, Wine, Alfajores and Mate

Buenos Aires, Argentina

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This truly was the highlight of my trip to Buenos Aires. I spent a little over a week in South America. A few days in Rio and a few days in B.A. I had some extra on my last night, so I decided to book this through Viator.com. I am so glad I did, what a pleasent experience. Met some really nice people. Leon, Richard and Carla were amazing hosts and very welcoming. I had e-mailed a few days before hand about my dietary needs and Carla e-mailed back and were able to accomdate me. the empanada making was louds of fun not to mention delicious. So was the mate' and alfajores. Learned so much about Argentine culture. Would absolutly go back to BA just for this. Well Done.

Corcovado Mountain, Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain Day Tour

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

If it is your first time in Rio, then this tour is a must. Great way to see the city. First they take you downtown for a little city tour, then a stop is made in one of the Cathedrals, then onto Sugarloaf mountain were we spent a good 40 mins there. After Sugarloaf they drove us to Ipanema for a very nice lunch and then onto Corcovado and Christ Redeemer. Great day, great indrocution to such a beautiful city.

My Review

Wonderful experience. Fatima was my driver. She picked me up at the aiport and drove back. She is such a pleasant person. I'm so glad I met her. She was there waiting for me with a sign with my name as soon as I left customs. As we were driving along she pointed out points of interest. She was also my driver on the way back to the airport. I would highly recommend this service. Much more reliable than a cab. Ask for Fatima.

Alcatraz Tour plus Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods and Sausalito Day Trip

San Francisco, California

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review

The concept of the tour was great, however this tour company is very disorganized. This was a great tour but there was allot of unnessaasary waiting around to do. We had to sit in the tour waiting area for about an hour, we did alcatraz around 10:30am, spent about hours there, then we had to wait for about 30 mins to do the muir woods / sausalito portion. And by the time we got to sausalito it was dark and everything was closing. Tour would be much better in reversed and if the company was more organzied.

Fall Foliage Spectacular Tour from Boston

Boston, Massachusetts

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Great tour. Francis was our guide and he was brilliant. Unfortunetly there was an earthquake the week before so Francis had suggested we head south instead of the normal route since there would be no leaves up north. So we spent the first half of the tour headed towards Cape Cod and it was beautiful. lots of Color. After that we headed on the normal route starting with JP Stephens Tavern which severed a wonderful lunch and then on to the Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis, NH which was wonderful. We did see allot of foliage along to way. But I would highly recommend this tour to everywhere. Great Price. francis was great.

Mount Vernon and Old Town Alexandria Half-Day Trip from Washington DC

Washington D.C., District of Columbia

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review

Mount Vernon and Alexandria are a must do if visting the DC area, however this tour was the worst. first of all our driver didn't want to work that day and his attitude and mood showed it. then Mr. Personality informed us that we weren't going to be stopping in Alexandria beause crist church was closed to tours on Sundays. Ok Fine. So then we get to Mount Vernon and the driver tells us we have 4 hours here. Mount Vernon is a beautiful place, lots to do and see, but not 4 hours worth. We arrive at Mount Vernon around 8:45am and I was done with everything by 10:20am. I had literally about 2+hours to kill. I ended up taking the bus back to the Hunttington metrorail station and stopped at Kind St station. and did Alexandria on my own. And got backto DC on my own too. My advice to people, Mount Vernon and Alexandria and great places to visit but you can save yourself about $25 if you just do it on your own. Very easy from DC.

My Review

The best way to see DC at Night is this tour. Our tour guide was fantastic. DC is absolutely beautiful The only thing I would change about this tour is that it should include a stop at Jefferson Memorial. Other than that great tour. Definetly worth the money.
