Polynesian Cultural Center: Twilight Package

Oahu, Hawaii

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The Center is very interactive and the staff is highly entertaining. This was our first time to the Center and if I had known just how interactive the different villages were, I would have opted for the full day. If this is your first time to the Polynesian Cultural Center, go for the full day experience.

Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor and Punchbowl Sightseeing Tour

Waikiki, Oahu

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Seeing the memorial and walking Pearl Harbor viewing the maps of what it looked like on 12/7/41 really takes you back in time. The documentary is heart wrenching. The Punchbowl Sightseeing Tour is just that -- you drive into the cemetary, receive some commentary on it's interesting history and then you drive out. Would I do this tour again -- no. Was it worth the price -- yes.

Diamond Head Crater Sunrise Small Group Adventure

Oahu, Hawaii

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Diamond Head was a very easy 1/2 mile walk from our hotel in Waikiki. However, we opted to take this tour in order to learn the history of the crater. Without benefit of the tour guide, you really are just taking a hike on a tuff volcano on the shores of Waikiki Beach. Our tour guide provided us with the history from "birth" to present day and was most definitely worth the tour price.

Oahu North Shore Adventure Half-Day Tour

Oahu, Hawaii

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This was my favorite tour and we did this our first day on Oahu. Our tour guide was fantastic - provided the history of the island and the surrounding areas the entire time. We saw a monk seal sleeping on the sand and the sea turtles coming up from the ocean to beach themselves on the sand. The North and East side of the island has a rugged landscape with beautiful unspoiled beaches (i.e., no big hotels competing for space).

Honolulu Airport Roundtrip Transfer with Optional Lei Greeting

Oahu, Hawaii

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The company that provided us with the transportation lived up to the description. They were waiting for us in baggage claim on our arrival, promptly took us to our hotel and provided information on the "hot" spots in Waikiki once we arrived in the area. They were also prompt in our pick up and delivered us safely to the airport without making us get there 3 hours ahead of schedule.

There was only three of us on this tour so we were able to go to a couple of different places not usually on the tour. It was a lot of fun and careful of the muni trains!

Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour

Paris, France

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

We did this on our last day in Paris. After all the walking we did, it was nice to sit and relax. However, it would have been nice to realize before hand the tour DOES NOT end where it starts!

Skip the Line: Notre Dame Cathedral, Tower and Ile de la Cite Half-Day Walking Tour

Paris, France

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

Ile de la Cite is a very small island and Notre Dame is its highlight. One can easily do this tour without benefit of a guide. I would recommend changing the "Skip the Line" to Notre Dame's Tower, to "Skip the Line" for Sainte Chapelle.

Paris Night Bike Tour

Paris, France

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

This tour was fun but due to the time of year, we saw more of Paris at sunset than night. The Eiffel Tower did not light up until we were on the canal cruise, which was the last part of the tour. The sites from the Seine were beautiful.

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

Paris, France

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Highly recommend this tour. The Louvre is so large and has so much history, we would not have appreciated what we were seeing without the guide. Even though the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa were the "highlights", there is so much more there with even better histories than these two items.

Munich City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Munich, Germany

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

We purchased the Express Tour not realizing one can walk this route very easily in Munich. I definitely recommend the Grand Tour if you purchase the Hop-On Hop-Off as it takes you to the city fringes. There is a wonderful palace - Schloss Nymphenburg - on this route that one doesn't want to miss.

Munich Bike Tour

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This tour was the best of the city bike tours we did (also did one in Paris and Amsterdam). Gertraud (our guide) was very knowledgeable and covered every inch of the city center. She provided the history of each spot we stopped at and answered our questions without hesitation.
