Bangkok Airport Shared Arrival Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
My Review: The representative was waiting at the airport with my name on his sign when I arrived and confirmed my departure pickup time before the driver left to take me to the hotel. A very professional and reliable service. Thoroughly recommended to avoid the taxi rip-offs and crazy driving.

Dubai Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
My Review: Great if you only want to sit on the bus and get your bearings. If you want to get off at any of the stops to spend time at the major sites you are guaranteed to run out of time as the service only runs from 9am until about 5pm and just leaves you at the last stop!! Best to research first and take a taxi or shuttle bus if you can.

Dubai Private Arrival Airport Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
My Review: I was unable to find the company representative at the airport although the company did ring next morning to see why I had not been picked up. I did see my name loud and clear on a sign from the Xclusive hotel apartments driver who had come to pick me up as a free service and went with him-a much more obvious sign especially at 1am!!

Madrid Airport Departure Shuttle Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: Well worth the pick up. Cheaper than a taxi for one person but a not for more than one as they charge by the person. A cab will take 4 people for twice the amount I paid.

Madrid Airport Arrival Shuttle Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: All went to plan after finding the kiosk in the main arrivals terminal and a short wait for the driver. Recommended for one person.

Krakow Airport Departure Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Krakow, Poland
My Review: The driver was later than the time I was given to be picked up but Krakow to Munich is classed as a regional flight so unbeknown to me, less time is required to check-in and there were no problems at all.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum Half-Day Trip from Krakow
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Krakow, Poland
My Review: The rather severe guide gave us all a very descriptive and informative tour of both the Auschwitz and Birkenau parts of the camps. Well worth the trip but I do wonder if the guide takes that face and manner home. I hope not!

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Small Group Tour from Munich
Tour / Activity

My Review: Our guide Ricky actually works at Dauchau Concentration Camp and there was nothing he didn't know. Very informative and he missed nothing during the tour. If you do nothing else from Munich don't miss this tour!
Jun272011
Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest Day Tour from Munich
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Munich, Germany
My Review: Great tour up in the alps with a view that has to be seen to be believed. The house is literally perched on the edge of a cliff with the only acess via an elevator. Would liked to have at least seen a driveby of more of Berchtesgaden but that was not to be. If you have the time ,don't miss this day trip.

Tour / Activity
My Rating:

My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: Great tour. Informative and most interesting.

Pompeii Day Trip from Rome
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: Excellent tour. The walk up Vesuvius would be a struggle if unfit as you are walking in volcanic ash and its a bit difficult to get a good foothold up the steep slope but the view from the top was well worth the climb on a clear day. Pompeii tourguide was excellent even though we only did some of the site-missing the theatre end he was informative and very funny. Loved it!!
Jun092011
Skip the Line: Ancient Rome and Colosseum Half-Day Walking Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: Paid extra for top area and underneath the floor area and thoroughly enjoyed the extras. Palatine hill and Roman forums also covered quite a bit of the area and the guide was most informative. Loved it.

Rome Arrival Shuttle Transfer: Airport to Hotel
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rome, Italy
My Review: No problems. Cheap and secure for a single female particularly if you have had a long flight and are tired. If you have booked your return pickup they do it as the same time at the kiosk so have your paperwork ready.

Paris Ghost and Mystery Walking Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Far too expensive for what it was. No better than the walking tours. This should have been advertised as a private tour at this price.

London Heathrow Airport Departure Shuttle Transfer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Shuttle arrived a little late, but we still got there in plenty of time. We would definitely recommend this service--far easier than the train with a lot of luggage in tow.

Skip the Line: Buckingham Palace Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This was a great look inside the state apartments of the palace. We were given a time to be there and went in right on time. It was well worth doing, as those lining up for tickets could not go in that day as it was booked out.
Aug012009
Skip the Line: Madame Tussauds London
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This was great once inside but the line for skip the line was very long and no one was waiting to buy tickets on the day.

London Pass
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This made getting around so easy, and skip the line at most places was a great time saver.

The Original London Sightseeing Tour: Hop-on Hop-off
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This was a great way to see London, but to do all the routes plus the river and stop off where you want to spend time you need to do it over at least three days.
Jul272009
Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: This is probably the busiest spot in Paris at all times, so skipping the line to go up was a blessing. We then had time to either go up to the top level or go back down and walk around. As it was a long wait to go up, we walked to l'ecole militare and took some great photos of the Eiffel Tower walking back to catch the bus. The river cruise gave us a great view of Paris from a different perspective. We thoroughly recommend this tour.
Jul272009
Eiffel Tower, Seine River Cruise and Paris Illuminations Night Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: This was unfortunately not a night tour, as we were not aware that it doesn't get dark until 10pm this time of year nothing was lit up until the last 30 minutes or so. We did not see the Eiffel Tower lit up at all so this was a disappointing and the advertisement misleading in this respect. The tour should have started later or stated that it was not a night tour in Summer.
Jul262009
Versailles Guided Tour with Optional Fountain Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: A great look inside the palace but no time to see the gardens which were at an extra cost. Skip the lines was great and the tour guide very informative. A full day tour or get yourself there and spend as much time as you want would be better options if you have the time as it is very busy and crowded so go very early to avoid the lines.

Paris Walking Tour: Classic Paris
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Excellent! Our guide was very knowledgeable on the areas, history and buildings, spoke English, gave us tips on how to get around on our own and we had plenty of time for photos on the walk. This would have to be the best value tour as walking is the best way to see Paris.
Jun292009
Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Walking Tour in Paris
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: Our guide on this one was excellent with historical information and kept the pace to suit us all. Quite a steep walk with cobbled streets and it was a hot day. I would not recommend anyone with a stroller or small children to do this one, but excellent value for the able bodied.
Jun282009
Windsor Castle and Runnymede Half-Day Trip from London
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: We got all the information from the tour guide and went back later to spend more time on our own, as St. George's Chapel was closed on the day we went. This was excellent!

Skip the Line: London Dungeon
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: There were no queues, and with limited time this was just the ticket.
