Brussels and Antwerp Day Trip from Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

It was really more than I expected. With the limited time we had, we have covered at least most of the attractions in Antwerp and Brussels and a little time for shopping as well.And our local guide was most helpful and very knowledgeable of the places we went to with regards to history, its importance and its culture.
I would definiely recommend this tour to others who only have one day to spare to see Belgium.

Keukenhof Gardens and Tulip Fields Tour from Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

It was simply great! I've been wanting to see Keukenhof for the longest time and this tour was actually a dream come true for me. Seeing all those beautiful flowers specially the tulips arranged masterfully in a harmony of colors is really breath-taking. It is also a testament to man's artistry in creating this garden, the most beautiful I have ever seen. Of course I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

My Review

it was good enough although, there were still many sights which could have been included like going up the Burj Khalifa and many others. Also most shops in the souk were closed that time due to the Eid Mubarak holidays.

Kyoto Morning Tour of Kinkakuji Temple, Nijo Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace from Osaka

Osaka, Japan

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review
We went to the Nishi Homanji Temple I don't know if this is the same as Kinkakuji Temple then to the Nijo Castle & finally the Golden Pavilion. We didn't go to the Imperial Palace. All these are Unesco Heritage sites & really worth seeing. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time we were there! and worse my shoes gave up on me and there was nowhere to buy a replacement except the Handicrafts Center which was the last stop of the tour! Imagine my predicament in the Golden Pavilion!

Osaka Afternoon Walking Tour with Osaka River Cruise

Osaka, Japan

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

My Review
I was a little disappointed because it was not really a walking tour; we took the subway to get to the Osaka Castle, where we were given only a few minutes inside, not enough time to see the museum. Worse, I was left behind! It would have been better if we were briefed on where we should go in case we got separated from the group like I did. Good thing the tour guide came back for me after I tried to contact the tour operator in spite the language barrier. I was helped by a kind Japanese couple who explained my predicament to them & who accompanied me to where the river boats were moored.
