Cape Point Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
My Review: Great way to see Cape Town in a short time. We didn't see any baboons but were warned profusely about them. Our tour guide took us to a particular beach in Simonstown to see the penguins where we didn't have to pay an entrance fee. The scenic drive was absolutely stunning. Great quick tour!

Cape Winelands Tour by Chauffered Sidecar
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
My Review: This tour was the highlight of our Cape Town trip. Our chauffer, Kevin, was the most well traveled and knowledgeable person we met in South Africa. Cape Winelands are just beautiful, my wife and I can't say enough about our amazing tour. We will remember this forever.

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Day Trip from London
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken. This trip was very informative and scenic but be ready to spend most of your time on the bus (about 8 hours) since none of these stops are anywhere near each other. We didn't have much time at Windsor Castle and had to wait in a long line to gain entrance so we had to rush through everything and didn't get to see everything we wanted.

London Eye and Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Although it felt that we were more prepared booking these reservations in advance, we found it would have probably been easier had we just bought them once we were there. London's weather is so finicky that we wanted to be sure we rode the eye on a clear day, luckily it was the day we reserved the tickets for but I can imagine what a disappointment it would be if that had not been the case. Also, we found it very difficult to find anyone who knew what to do with our Viator voucher. We were sent from one kiosk to the next trying to redeem our tickets. My suggestion to anyone would be to wait until you get there to buy tickets.

Skip the Line: Florence Accademia and Uffizi Gallery Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Florence, Italy
My Review: My husband and I loved the David but our tour guide wasn't the greatest for the Accademia. Unlike most tour guides she insisted on her opinion of each art piece and didn't leave it open to the viewer. Our tour guide for the Uffizi was much better and very passionate about art, he offered his opinion but also let us form our own opinion and was very informative about the gallery itself.

Chianti Region Wine Tasting Half-Day Trip from Florence
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Florence, Italy
My Review: This tour should NOT and I stress NOT be listed as a wine tasting tour. Being from California I know what wine tasting is and this wasn't it. This tour should be named "Trebbio Castle Half-Day Tour" as the entire tour was about the castle and its inhabitants. The tour did touch on wine but don't think you'll be able to choose which wine you'll be tasting or taste in the vineyards or even see the vineyards! You sip wine in a cafeteria type rec room in the castle. With so many vineyards in the Tuscany area I am very disappointed we chose this tour thinking we were going to be wine tasting.

Pompeii Half-day Trip from Naples
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Naples, Italy
My Review: This tour was so interesting, we would definitely recommend it to anyone who is on a a crunched time budget and wants to see the best of Pompeii. We were a bit disappointed that we weren't offered ear pieces, at times it was hard to hear the tour guide.
