Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour

Venice, Italy

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

It was average, I expected more for my money, felt I could have been doing more with my time in Venice. The colourful town of Torcello was about the only highlight. It was all rush, rush and hardly time to look around.

Venice Ghost Walking Tour

Venice, Italy

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review

Three strikes and your out...well the verdict is out of this trip - disappointing and hardly spooky at all. The tour guide spent most of her time texting as she was walking around, which I felt was quite rude. Hardly surprizing when she told us she once fell into the canal whilst texting on her phone.

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride

Venice, Italy

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review

Disappointed that we didn't get to see the most popular Venice i.e St marks square...it wasn't what I hoped it would be - the Gondola made up for it but then again it seemed it was just a quick round the block ride, with 4 other people on the gondola.

Gulfoss and Geysir Express Half-Day Trip from Reykjavik

Reykjavik, Iceland

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
Great trip, entertained by the tour guide throughout. My only gripe was no stops for photos, i.e we passed some wonderful view points, saw an amazing sunrise but no stopping for short photo breaks. It just seemed a waste. Probably next time I would hire a car so we could capture all the glorious views.

My Review
This is a magical place, but book your treatments before you go or else when you get there they have no spaces left. Take a swimsuit and towel, beware it is cold outside but so hot in the water. I wouldn't go to Iceland and not see this place, that would be a crime.
