London Rock Music Tour
London, United Kingdom
My Rating

This was a great Tour which although started late still covered every bit of the tour. Indeed we saw some sights of London that you would not ordinarily see. The 1/2 Day tour was informative, funny, fast paced and really interesting. Loved the walk accross Abbey Road, a visit to Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers restaurant and the original Hard Rock Cafe. My wife and I enjoyed it, as did my son and his girlfriend. For Rock enthusiasts a must do. Particularly with Chicago Mike !

Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

The Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris was one of the highlights of our trip overseas. Having the small group was brilliant, as we didn't have to wait in queues or line-ups and our driver and guide (Sergei?) was fantastic. He was very informative, professional and most helpful. To the point where he provided us each with small earpieces to listen to his commentary from a small microphone he had. This ensured that in a large crowd we could hear him giving us a very discriptive commentary of the Palace of Versailles. The fact that we had a small group was well worth the extra cost and we loved the oppotunity to share a lunch with that group from other countries.For us it made it all the much more richer. This is one trip I would recommend to everyone to do. It was the best.

Romantic Horse and Carriage Ride through Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

Having booked the Romantic Horse and Carriage Ride through Paris and being our 25th wedding anniversary, we were worried when we arrived at the Eiffel Tower to meet our ride as it had been drizzling rain. But the courteous drivers made us so warm and welcome. They took the front cover off the carriage as the rain had stopped to ensure that we could better take in the views. They provided us with warm blankets and an amusing commentary as we made our way through some backstreets of Paris, and to some areas we had not yet seen as well as taking in the major landmarks and buildings that make Paris so famous. They stopped at several spots to ensure that we had memorable photos of ourselves in the Carriage in front of Palaces, on the Champs Elysees and the Eiffel Tower. A great addition to a memorable first trip to Paris

Champagne Region Day Trip from Paris by Minivan
Paris, France
My Rating

The Champagne Region Day Trip was a highlight to our Trip to France. Our driver Paulo was very informative, interesting and really made the trip memorable. We loved the region and felt very welcomed at each place we visited. It was lovely to sit around the table at lunchtime and to talk to other people on the Day trip from other countries. That was a real highlight. We loved the fact that there were only a small number in our group (7) which meant we were able to embark and disembark the minivan quickly and not have to wait in lines or struugle to hear tour guides as you can do if your in large group. Well worth thr extra cost. Thoroughly enjoyed and throroughly recommended.

Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
Paris, France
My Rating

The Eiffel Tower dinner for our 25th Wedding Anniversary was perfect. Would like to have a table for 2 but unfortunely the restaurant cannot accommodate that request. The Views at night from the Tower are magificent and the food superb. The Moulin Rouge was spectacular and finished off the night very well. Because of the timing of the Moulin Rouge show we did not take the cruise that evening but were given tickets to go on the cruise later, which we did at our convenience two days later. This is a terrific option and a must do for all those visiting Paris, particularly if it is a special occasion.

Paris Private Arrival Transfer: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY)
Paris, France
My Rating

To have someone waiting at the airport with a sign with your name on it after travelling for over 24 hours is the best feeling in the world. To then have a car take you directly to your hotel gave us such peace of mind. The transfer vehicle was clean and comfortable and the driver experienced and welcoming.
