Napa Valley Wine Train
Napa, California
My Rating
My Review
Amazing night in Napa Valley! The train is so cool, with a great vintage feel and first-class service. We had the late dining option, which I really liked, because the first half of the evening was spent enjoying cocktails, wine and delicious appetizers while relaxing in plush swivel lounges and looking out the windows at the famous Napa wineries. When we were ushered into the dining car for dinner, we were really pleased by how beautifully set the tables were. The food was exceptionally good and everything on the menu sounded really great. This was a fabulous experience and I can very highly recommend it.

This transfer was so easy and convenient! The driver was waiting exactly where I was told they'd be and we were in the car and on our way in literally 1 minute. The car was spotlessly clean and comfortable and our driver was great - she was so sweet and answered all of our touristy questions.

Great way to see and learn about Austin in a short amount of time! I went on this tour on my first day in Austin and it gave me a really good overview of the city and I also learned a lot about the areas history, sights and interesting facts. My tour guide was fabulous and the van was comfortable, clean and spacious.

Buenos Aires Dining Experience: Empanada Making, Steak, Wine, Alfajores and Mate
Buenos Aires, Argentina
My Rating
My Review
What an amazing experience! My husband and I visited Buenos Aires on our honeymoon and whenever we travel, we love to learn how to make local food (and of course we love eating it!), so we decided to book this tour. We are so glad we did.
Upon arriving at the very posh location in Palermo Hollywood, we were greeted with a cocktail and introduced to the other guests. Then everyone headed upstairs to a modern, comfortable dining area where we were given an introduction by the amazing staff. We learned how to make empanadas, had an empanada-making contest and ate the empanadas along with absolutely delicious appetizers. Then it was time for the main course - a gigantic, beautifully cooked filet! Throughout all of the food and tastings, the staff was teaching us about Argentinian culture and ways.
After dinner, we were taught how to properly make and drink the famous mate and we made our own alfajores for dessert. Plus, from beginning to end the Malbec was flowing!!!
This was a great way to spend an evening in BA and not only did we eat and learn how to make amazing food, but we also learned a lot about Argentina and met some very nice people.

Oahu Sunset Dinner Cruise - Fine Dining
Waikiki, Oahu
My Rating
My Review
Fabulous night out! My mom and I really enjoyed this dinner cruise. From start to finish, this was a really fun and delicious evening. All of the courses were really nice and the lobster was impressive - I hadn't had a full lobster in years! I was so full after all the food. Our window seat was perfect for relaxing while we ate and watching the stunning scenery. I was also really impressed by how reasonable the alcohol was; there were bottles of wine and Champagne starting around only $15-20. The timing on the cruise was perfect, we never felt rushed and the sunset was gorgeous. Great deal and great night out!

Waikiki Ocean Club Admission with Optional Water Sports
Oahu, Hawaii
My Rating
My Review
Such a cool idea and an amazing day! This was the perfect way to really enjoy the great weather and tropical waters of Waikiki. Everything you'd ever want is on this floating island. I mainly used the comfy lounge chairs on the top desk to relax in the sun and drink some cocktails while enjoying the great views of Waikiki, but I also snorkeled and tried out the trampoline and the diving platforms. The water was much more calm than I though it'd be and it was crystal blue - great for swimming and snorkeling.
The ocean club is very clean and the staff was super friendly. The shuttle was easy and located close to most the big hotels. I didn't try it, but they also have scuba diving lessons with what looked like really state of the art equipment and one-on-one lessons.
Highly recommend this!

The Calgary Stampede
Calgary, Canada
My Rating
My Review
Wow! What a fun experience! I had never been to a rodeo before and didn't know what to expect, but I had an amazing time. The rodeo was fun, exciting and easy to follow and learn. All of the surrounding events within the park were really great; there were tons of rides, shows, showcases and yummy food. The town of Calgary really comes alive during the Calgary Stampede and the whole town embraces the event. The event was organized, with easy transportation and very friendly people.
This year, the Calgary Stampede was celebrating their 100th year. The final, closing show was absolutely amazing! The show had dancers, acrobatics, a famous country singer and the best fireworks show I've ever seen.
I can't wait to go again!!!

Britannia Mine Museum General Admission
Vancouver, Canada
My Rating
My Review
Such a great experience! We really enjoyed our visit to the Britannia Mine Museum. It is right between Vancouver and Whistler and is located on the stunning Sea-to-Sky Highway. The exhibits and video at the museum were very interesting and the ride into the mine was amazing. It was so cool to go into an actual mine and the best part was learning about how mining has changed over the years and to see all the generations of equipment. Plus, they even turn off all the lights at one point to see how working in a mine really used to be. Our tour guide actually used to work at the mine in the 70s so he had a ton of great stories and insight. I can highly recommend a visit!

This was an absolutely fabulous night out! Chef Scott took us to amazing spots that we would have never found on our own and we dined on delicious foods and drinks. It was really cool to start the tour off at a secret bar! This bar was very cool and the mixologist there made us anything we wanted. I had a Manhattan and it was one of the best I've ever had. At both of the restaurants we visited, we were served ample food and had time to chat with the chefs. With the food and drinks included, this tour is an amazing value and I can highly recommend it!

What a perfect day in the wine country! This tour was first class all the way and was seamless from start to finish. The wineries that we visited were not only beautiful and iconic-Napa, but also had amazing wines for us to taste. Lunch in Yountville was held a very posh bistro and was delicious. I can highly recommend this tour!

What a great way to spend a morning on the Big Island! The kayaking was done at a good pace and we took frequent breaks to listen to our guide "talk story" and tell the group some Hawaiian history. John, our tour guide, was super nice, informative and knowledgeable.
The snorkeling was amazing. There were so many different types of fish and sea life. On the kayak journey back, spinner dolphins were all around us! It was such a great experience.

Grand Canyon West Rim Air and Ground Day Trip from Las Vegas with Optional Skywalk
Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
My Review
What a great way to see the Grand Canyon! We were picked up right on time at our hotel and the rest of the tour ran just as seamlessly. The airplane was very comfortable, seating 8 passengers plus a co-pilot seat and of course the pilot. Our pilot was super friendly and made everyone feel really at ease. The flight was beautiful to and from the Grand Canyon. We took the afternoon flight, so the flight back to Vegas was spectacular due to the sunset views, great Grand Canyon views and we flew right past the Hoover Dam. Once at the Grand Canyon, I liked that you had free time to explore at your own pace. We did the skywalk which was really amazing! The lunch that was included was huge and quite good, and consisted of the bbq meat of your choice, a couple sides, a desert and hot and cold drinks.
The whole tour was great from beginning to end and I can highly recommend it!

Zipline Adventure in Whistler

My Review
This tour was absolutely amazing!!!! The experience of soaring over the forest will be something that I'll never forget. From beginning to end, this tour was seamless. Our two guides were very enthusiastic and fun. While we were climbing and exploring the forest canopy from where we zipped, the guides taught us about the local wildlife and rainforest. I did this tour in December and the scenery was breath taking. I'm glad that there was a practice zip before heading to the forest, as it got me prepared for the big leap! On the last zip line, the guides taught us how to do tricks, including going upside down - I did it and had a total blast! I can definitely recommend this tour during winter or summer.
