Avila and Segovia Day Trip from Madrid

Madrid, Spain

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

We found Segovia much more interesting than Avila, although both were nice. Tour was in both Spanish and English making it sometimes a bit hard to catch the switchover through the accent.

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Our tour guide, Andrew, was excellent and even bought us Cava and cold drinks. A much more relaxed day than standard tours. We stopped at an authentic Catelonian restaurant for lunch.

Orange, Les Baux de Provence and Arles Small Group Day Trip

Avignon, France

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Very nice tour. Our guide stopped at Glanum, which we thought was the highlight of the tour. They should make Glanum a headline item in the tour and allow more time there. Glanum is an ancient Roman city built on ruins of settlements from two earlier civilizations.

Loire Valley Castles Small Group Day Trip from Paris by Minivan

Paris, France

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

Nice trip overall, although the tour guide we had was exceptionally rushed. Even with a small group of 2 families, she would sometimes rush into explanations in a crowded castle before everyone in the group caught up with her. We took several other viator tours and none were rushed like this one. Leaving 3 stars since this is likely because of our guide, your experience may differ.

My Review

Very nice combination.. Muir Woods was beautiful and tranquil. City tour was interesting. The Sausalito stop affords little time to do anything but have lunch
