Singapore Zoo Night Safari Tour with optional Buffet Dinner
Singapore, Singapore
My Rating

Well organised trip around the zoo but pick your times because even though the trolley cars left every 5 minutes we had to wait in line for 40 minutes. You need a good camera to take photos, small digital cameras don't get anything.

Excellent value. Buses left every 15 minutes or so and were generally on time which is difficult with the Singapore traffic.

Singapore by Night Tour with Dinner along Singapore River
Singapore, Singapore
My Rating

Local guide was very informative and helpful. Dinner is at Boat Quay not Clark Quay. Stopped at Boat Quay for dinner then Bugis Street for shopping (which is fine if you are looking for cheap poor quality stuff) and then to Raffles for a Singapore Sling. The Sling is $26AUD if you don't buy it with the tour. We bought one separately because we couldn't say we went to Raffles and didn't have a Singapore Sling. Sat in the Long Bar and listened to an American band playing old songs. Very nice.

Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

I was looking forward to a nice leisurely cruise on the waterways of Paris but this was not to be. We started on the Seine which was lovely and then we went into Canal St Martin. This was so bad that we just wanted to get off the boat at the end. I lost count of how many locks we went into where we had to wait for the water to rise before we could continue. We went through a tunnel for 20 minutes around the Bastille so we missed a lot of the scenery I wanted to see. The guide's accent was so bad we couldn't understand a word he said so we had no idea if anything was worth looking at or taking photos. It was extremely boring and I would not recommend it.

Lido de Paris Dinner and Show
Paris, France
My Rating

In Paris you have to do either the Lido or Moulin Rouge. We had feedback that the Lido was better. The costumes were great. The dancing pedestrian. The acts were variable, some were excellent and others were mediocre.

Mont Saint Michel Day Trip
Paris, France
My Rating

Excellent tour. The guides were very informative and helpful. Everything was well organised. It is a long day. We left at about 7 am and returned to Paris after 9.30 pm. The Abbey is outstanding. Be prepared for many, many steps up to the top.

My Rating

Excellent value if you take advantage of all the passes. I did 4 museums so I'm not sure if I saved any money but at least you don't have to worry about waiting in lines. That said, we were there in June with all the American tourists on holiday and didn't see really long queues anyway.

San Francisco Bay Sunset Cruise
San Francisco, California
My Rating

I didn't find this enjoyable partly because the boat was small and just sailed slowly around some of the islands and under the Golden Gate Bridge. The food was plentiful but we had already eaten as the ad said only appetisers would be available. There's plenty of food, you don't need to eat before it.
