Skip the Line: Louvre Museum Walking Tour including Venus de Milo and Mona Lisa

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Location: Paris, France

My Review:

Our guide was excellent. Because the museum is so large, it was nice to be with someone who could quickly get us to the most famous items and give us the important history and details.

Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 4 star rating: Recommended

Location: Paris, France

My Review:

The dinner was great and the Paris illuminations tour was nice as well. I was disappointed that we were not allowed to use restrooms in either building where the Viator tours met or in the bus. We were told to go across the street to a restaurant, but the restaurant only allowed restroom use if you bought something -- so that didn't work out well. The other disappointment was being "herded" onto the large "cruise" boat that probably held more than 1000 people. We were brought to the boat by bus and arrived -- some of the last ones to get on, so we had to search and search for a place for my husband and I to sit together.

Salzburg and Lake District Day Tour from Munich

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 4 star rating: Recommended

Location: Munich, Germany

My Review:

This tour involved a lovely drive through the countryside on a very nice bus. The problem came when the guide tried to give information on the bus. No one could hear her well. She tried to adjust things, but I could not hear her unless I leaned right under a speaker and my husband never heard anything she said. The guide was strict about when to take pictures and break from the group and though wanting to be helpful, she often sounded annoyed or impatient with people's questions. She also instructed us she was going to collect $ for the boat ride and when we told her we thought it was optional, she impatiently indicated that it was just not acceptable NOT to go on it. Other than that, she did know a lot about the city of Salzburg and it was amazing to be there and see the sites. The boat ride was beautiful and the restaurant near Lake Wolfgang had a beautiful view and great food.
