Full Day East Madeira - Camacha, Pico do Ariero, Ribeiro Frio, Portela, Santana
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Funchal, Portugal
My Review: We had a very short break in Madeira and wanted to sample some of the beutiful scenary. I've have used Viator several times before and was happy to book another tour with them. It was excellent, out hotel pick up was on time. The driver courteous and knowledegable giving us a commentary of facts and sights as we proceeded. Madeira has such a pleasant climate. Camacha, perched on the hillside with breathtaking views and flowers everywhere was followed by the drive up through the clouds to the mountain top.The views were stunning, looking down on the clouds and through the gaps down into Funchal and the harbour. It would have been nice to have seen to the island of Porto Santo, but the cloud did not break in that direction. The valley of Ribeiro Frio was wonderful, so green fresh with flowers everywhere. We had booked lunch and tucked into a feast of local produce with wine too. The traditional houses of Santana are so colourful and photogenic. The views on from the clifftops from Ponta do Rosto near the eastern tip of the island were beautiful. only spoiled by the fact we were nearing the ends of the day and making our way to Machico, the original landing place of the original settlers. A small but beautiful beach of golden sands topped it off. Alltogether an excellent day whcih I'd happily do again on any future visit.

Blue Mountains Nature and Wildlife Day Tour from Sydney
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Sydney, Australia
My Review: We were picked up from our hotel exactly on schedule. The driver, as well as our guide, were well versed and gave an excellent commentary throughout the journey. The Blue Mountains are magnificent and the views are stunning. The vista from Echo Point with the Three Sisters was a sight to behold. Featherdale Wildlife Park was amazing. All three of us hand fed the wallabies and kangaroos. So many beautiful and exciting birds and animals to see.

Milan Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Milan, Italy
My Review: We had limited time in Milan. Most excellent, we all enjoyed the experience, air-conditioned coach, very knowledgeable tour guide, personal radio sets to hear the commentary of tour guide but at the same time freedom to look and watch at will. Guaranteed entry to The Last Supper, the highlight of the tour. Will use Viator again for sure.
