Naples and Pompeii Day Trip from Rome

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Location: Rome, Italy

My Review:

This tour was well worth it. The 5 star rating is only for Pompeii and definitely not Naples. Naples and the lunch at the restaurant consumed a lot of precious time that we could have used at Pompeii. But the excellent, mature, humorous tour guide in Pompeii made up for this. Herman

Skip the Line: Florence Accademia and Uffizi Gallery Tour

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 3 star rating: Worth doing

Location: Florence, Italy

My Review:

If anyone wants to take this tour, don't waste your time at Uffizi. Accademia is well worth it and the guide is very learned. Uffizi is too rushed and you don't really have enough time to take it all in. Also, note that due to "commercial" reasons, you are not allowed to take photos of The David!! So be caution there are always guards on the prowl. Herman SA.

Tuscany in One Day Sightseeing Tour

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Location: Florence, Italy

My Review:

This tour was one of the most memorable. If you have BECKY as your guide it will be an absolute bonus! She is extremely, accommodating, courteous and friendly and made the long day even more worthwhile with her insight and humor. As for Tuscany, Pisa and SanGignamo, if that's how you spell it, was simply amazing. The lunch was an added bonus. A must do if you go to Florence! Herman S.A.

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 3 star rating: Worth doing

Location: Venice, Italy

My Review:

This is a good way of getting to know Venice, not the best though. Our tour guide had to translate in two languages which did take some time and made me lose interest after a while. If I knew it was not an english only tour, I would not have booked. Venice is not like other cities, you can discover it by yourself if you catch up on some research before your holiday. The Gondola ride was not that personal. There were no songs sung as advertised. Also, expect to pay 8.50 euros for a caffe latte in St. Marks Square. Other than that,Venice is one of the most beautiful cities I have been to. Herman S.A

Disneyland Paris Ticket

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 3 star rating: Worth doing

Location: Paris, France

My Review:

EuroDisney is totally over rated! My advice is to book a 2 parks /1 day ticket. This is sufficient. I booked a 2 day 2 park ticket for my family of four and we were bored on day 2. Expect long, very long queues for the rides. Herman S.A

Paris City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 3 star rating: Worth doing

Location: Paris, France

My Review:

An affordable way to get around and see Paris. Beware of the bad bus drivers though. We had a 2 day pass and our driver knocked into another bus while we were there. Another couple from America that was on the bus with us told us that the same driver knocked into another car the night before. I will post a pic of him clipping the other bus. Herman S.A

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Location: Paris, France

My Review:

An excellent tour. If you have Gill as your guide, it's a bonus. His warm humor made up for that icy cold night. The views from the summit is breath taking. A must if you are in Paris. Herman S.A
