The guide was very informative. In addition, this walking tour permitted us to see shops and others sites while on this tour that we re-visited later.

This tour was a valuable experience as the motor coach takes you past the local bull ring, to Spanish Village and other historical sites including walking inside the Royal Palace.

Barcelona in One Day Sightseeing Tour

Barcelona, Spain

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This tour permitted us to see not only the historical but artistic side of Barcelona. I wish that we could've visited inside "Sagrada Familia", but the lines are just too long for tour groups to wait, so we viewed it from the outside which was a spectacular experience in itself.

Girona, Figueres and Dali Museum Day Trip from Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Girona is a gem of a city located not far from Barcelona. It has its own history and background. Figures was especially memorable as it was close to our hearts because we have always valued Dali's work. The fact that we were able to go to his art and jewel museums was the highlight of this particular tour for us.

Florence Shopping Tour to Prada and the Mall Fashion Outlets

Florence, Italy

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

My Review
Being totally honest, we did not find the prices at the outlets to be that great. Actually after we returned home we went to the outlets near home and found much better deals at the same designer stores. I think we would've been better off staying right in town and shopping at the smaller shops by the Firenze S.M. train station.

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica Half-Day Walking Tour

Rome, Italy

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
This tour was definitely worth it and our tour guide was very informative. It was only a couple of hours but it was jam packed with interesting sights and not a lot of walking because all three locations are next to one another.

Pisa City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Pisa, Italy

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
This is worth it if your going to spend the whole day in Pisa and take advantage of visiting several locations offered on the hop on hop off bus route. However, if you are just going to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, you're probably better off, just taking the public bus from the main train station in Pisa.

Ancient Rome Half-Day Walking Tour

Rome, Italy

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
We really enjoyed this tour, however, we recommend you wear some extremely comfortable walking shoes because this walking tour entails a lot of walking on cobble streets. If we had to do it all over again, we would take the same tour again, but we would opt for the motor coach tour instead because we were travelling with a senior citizen.

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride

Venice, Italy

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
This tour was absolutely worth every penny spent and the break at the Gelateria for Gelato was a nice aspect of the tour. Ultimately, the Gondola ride is breathtaking and besides, how could you visit Venice and not go on a Gondola ride.
