Budapest Parliament House Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Budapest, Hungary
My Review: Pick up van from company was in front of our apartment on the scheduled time that was printed on my voucher. We were then taken to the company's office to meet the tour guide and other tourists. From here they took us in a big tour bus to the parliament building. We have a very friendly and clued up tour lady. Because the tour only started at 10h15, she took us so long on a short walking tour to nearby interesting buildings and shared her history knowledge with us while we have to wait for half an hour. This was really appreciated a lot. Her English was fluent and she also has a very good vocabulary so that she could talk easily to the tourists. Well done!

Singapore City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: This is a good way to orientate yourself with the main attractions in Singapore because the buses are doing a North-South and East-West route. The duration of each iasabout one hour. Afterwards you can decide then which area you want to visit again if you have the time. Our time was limited so we only did the North-South route. It is a good way of transport because you can be dropped off at different locations. The biggest draw back that we had was that we had trouble to find the exact stop and go points of the buses on their routes. After three buses passed us where we were standing next to the road, we decide to walk to the shopping mall where the departure point is. We also did not know at which time intervals the buses were leaving and how long you had to wait for the next bus to come by to pick you up. After running around and trying to find the place, a lady at the mall's infomation center told us where to get the bus. Luckily for us we got to the bus minutes before it was leaving for its last round trip of the day! Being a tourist in a strange country you are not fimiliar with in the city can be quite difficult! Recommendation; Please put up some direction signage boards in Singapore to show your tourists where they can find these buses as well as on the sidewalks where these buses will stop to drop off or pick up tourists. A time schedule must also be on these kind of boards. This will take a lot of stress out of one's day and then you can enjoy Singapore in a much more relaxed way!

Simon Cabaret Show in Phuket
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Phuket, Thailand
My Review: What an amazing show! It is difficult to believe that there are no women taking part in the show but it is a fact. The clothes were really extravagant and the choreography is very well done. There was a variety of different kind of songs and it was a nice relaxed evening while being in Patong. We confirmed our tickets the day before and when we got to the counter, our tickets were immediately available without any problem. We will recommend this show to anybody who visit Phuket. Well done to everybody taking part in the Simon Cabaret Show! Keep up the entertainment for the tourists!!

Elephant Trek, Rafting and Hilltribe Village Tour from Chiang Mai
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand
My Review: What an awesome excursion to have! We had an absolute fantastic day trip. The elephant trekking was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Although it was drizzling, the bamboo rafting was a peaceful and enjoyable ride down the river. We looked like real Thais with the straw hats similar to the picture. Our lunch was a real treat with delicious and tasty Thai food. The visits to the different Hill tribes were fascinating and really an eye opener for us to see how these people are living far away from civilization. We were a small group of only four people which meant that we were never rushed and have more than enough time to enjoy everything. A must do when visiting Chiang Mai. A real Thai experience. Thumbs up for this outing!
