Murano Glass and Burano Lace Tour from Venice

Venice, Italy

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

This was a good and informative tour. Interesting to say the least and the pride and effort that goes into the work, it's really worth seeing and possibly buying something after seeing and hearing how its done. The items were beautiful!! The glass factory is a little on the expensive side and even the souvenir shop. No matter what u purchase, they are great either as a gift or for yourself. I did purchase something from the glass factory. If I had known I would have waited and bought from the lace shops. Overall it was good. Definitely not for everyone. Both locations are quiet and basically, it was just us tourists. Our guide Francesca was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. Also I met a couple of other travelers on this tour and they were pretty awesome as well. Jerry and Fran from Florida.

My Review

A tour that I would totally recommend. It was a gorgeous day to have done this tour and glad that I did. Our tour guide Maximo was great and hilarious. He was a great tour guide. We stopped in Delft where we were able to be shown how all the items are made and then on to a showroom with the finished products just in case you wanted to buy something. Note" If you are on a budget, you really wouldn't be able to buy anything. They are beautiful, very beautiful but they also cost a bit. I mean you are getting the original and good stuff. We also stopped at the auction house where we got a glimpse into how the prep the flowers for shipping like place to New York! They were beautiful and a busy warehouse. We then went on to Hague where we had some photo ops and also where we stopped to eat a nice meal. It was a great day as I said and glad I did this tour. Thank you VIATOR!

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Day Trip from London

London, United Kingdom

5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
My day trip was a blast. From the time I got picked up to when I got dropped off was a complete great day. Our guide and driver was the best. They made the day go by with a information filled day - I met some really cool people and I enjoyed myself immensely. The only thing was that I thought our stop at Stonehenge didn't have to be 45 mins, but it did go by fast and my visual of Bath was not what it was. Thought it would have been more of an outdoor site, but all in all it was great and filled with lots of info.

It was like any other Hop-on Hop-off tour bus. We didn't have a live guide but had audio in different languages. They pretty much covered the sights that most everyone wants to see. It was good!

Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise

Paris, France

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
This was a celebration for me, it was my birthday and I had a wonderful time! There was a little misunderstanding of where to meet the tour bus but after a phone call everything was resolved. The tour was great and wish that we had a little more time at dinner. Because of the schedule we had to pretty much rush through our meals in order to catch the next tour and to be on time. The Seine River cruise was great! Relaxing calm and enjoyable. We could see the tower light up from the boat which was very beautiful! Our driver spoke no English which was a little disturbing for someone to be in the tourist industry business. Our tour guides were great! We started off with one and ended with another. Got to see Moulin Rouge which was a treat to end the night. I did expect a lot more upbeat numbers from the show but it was good. Costumes were great and everyone was looking great. They dropped us off at the end of the night by location and close enough to our hotels which was good. Overall they were wonderful!
