Ancient Rome Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Another great walking tour with a very good guide with excellent English and amazing history knowledge. We skipped all the big queues as promised and covered all the sights adequately. Only complaint was the poor quality of the portable listening devices, not very clear and poor range unlike the vey good ones we had on the Vatican walking tour. Fortunately the guide spoke well so you could stand close to her and pick up her voice directly instead of relying on the earpiece. Highly recommend this tour and would not try going solo over the ground we covered in 3 or 4 hours.

Excellent tour and worth every cent. Tour guide spoke almost perfect English and had an amazing depth of knowledge. The portable hearing devices were also of good quality and had a very good range unlike some we have encountered. We also skipped all the big queues as promised and our guide went to great lengths to keep us all together. Highly recommended and wouldn't even try going solo.

Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Small Group Day Trip from Rome
Rome, Italy
My Rating

A big day out but very enjoyable in an 8 seat minivan. Our guide spoke good English and was very helpful and well organized. The Amalfi coast was stunning and we stopped several times to take photos. (tip: if you and our partner sit in the front with the driver, you can get some good shots through the windscreen as the van winds around the coastal route)
Pompeii is very impressive but does involve a bit of walking around the ruins.
Be prepared for a big day 7am to 9pm door to door. Highly recommended.

We had some doubts about the large coach tour thing but found the coach to be very comfortable and the tour exceptionally well organized. Our tour manager was very knowledgable and exceptionally good English as well as an entertaining sense of humor. The lunch provided at the winery was very good and plenty of wine was on hand. Gluten free options were also available and of a high standard. The locations were stunning and there were no hold ups. Highly recommend this tour.

Moulin Rouge Show Paris

Fantastic Show and not to be missed. We were in a group of five with the two males displaying a certain lack of enthusiasm for an all dancing night of entertainment but wer certainly glad they went with some amazing juggling and acrobatic performances between the amazing dance performances. Our half bottle each of complimentary champagne also went down well.
It's not cheap but when you see the amount of work that goes into this production, you can see why. The old dance hall atmosphere is amazing.
Would definitely go again.
