Barcelona Gothic Quarter Morning Walking Tour
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

Good quick overview of the Gothic Qtr, since didn't have much time to spend in Barcelona before boarding a 12-day cruise. Oh, and be sure to rub the turtle for good luck!! I rubbed it twice and my fiance didn't rub it at all. I cleaned house on the cruise in Bingo and also won the only drawing for a 7-day free cruise. I kept yelling... "Turtle!!!" Definitely had good luck.

Flamenco Night at Tablao Cordobes
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

Food/buffet was terrible and could see the earlier show on tv monitors before our show started. Wasn't that impressed from what I could see on tv and if on the same level as the food, not worth it. So, we left before our show even started. It may have gotten better, but with such a short amount of time available in Barcelona, we didn't want to waste it.

Skip the Line: Notre Dame Cathedral, Tower and Ile de la Cite Half-Day Walking Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

A lot more walking through the city than I anticipated. But, one of the funniest guides we had out of a dozen or so tours we did, and very informative. Great history of Paris. Oh and important to note that you can't skip the line to get into Notre Dame, and it's free. At first thought we were getting ripped off in buying this tour. But, the skip the line was very helpful to see the tower at the end... and that has a cost, which was included in the tour. So, overall worth it.

Great tour and worth every penny to skip the line. Went at sunset and got to see the lights twinkle twice from on top!

Paris City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

Crowded and only goes in one direction. But, helps to get around to all the major sites. Still worth it.

Skip the Line: Louvre Museum Walking Tour including Venus de Milo and Mona Lisa

My Rating

Amazing Louvre tour, but be ready to walk. So much to see in only 3 hrs. Tour guide was super knowledgable and got us through it all in the 3 hrs, but hardly a minute of downtime.

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

River cruise was fantastic! Paris Illuminations could've been better with a different guide. Ours was an asian living in Paris, giving an english tour. A few too many accents in the mix and hard to hear on top of that. Also, the van we were in was a little hard to see out of, but with the small group was easier to stop at some of the sites and get out. Not a bad way to see the city at night, which is amazing, but next time would likely only do the river cruise.

Paris Shuttle Arrival Transfer: Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Paris, France
My Rating

1st time to Paris and the meeting point was a little confusing at the airport, plus the airport phones didn't all seem to work correctly. So some delays there. Was 3rd in the group of stops to our hotel, which could've been annoying. But, actually gave us a little mini tour of the city to some areas we hadn't plan to visit while others were being dropped off. So, silver lining there. Not sure if the best value, but we made it all in one piece.
