My Review

Bruny Island Wilderness Coast Tour from Hobart including Lunch - What an adventure!
The staff involved in this trip are some of the most knowledgeable and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and there are a lot of laughs to be had. The trip is excellent value for money and a great way to view Bruny island, the boat trip is the highlight of the day and you should not be put off if you are someone who suffers from seasickness and they offer many aids to combat it. The food is excellent and we certainly didn't go hungry.
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Yosemite National Park

San Francisco

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Yosemite is one of the must visit National Parks. There is so much to see that you will never have enough time to experience everything the park has to offer. Also depending on the time of year the park can change its scenery dramatically. It is very busy during the summer months especially during July and August so make sure to plan your day prior to arrival at the park as traffic/other tourists can end up limiting your plans. Yosemite is a must visit if you are in the area.

My Review

After arriving into Iceland from New York early in the morning, the first stop we made was to visit the Blue Lagoon, one of the best decisions we could of made after a long flight. The Lagoon is approx 15-20 minutes from the airport, the waters are very warm and invigorating. I wish we could go to the Lagoon after ever international flight!
If travelling to Iceland then this is a must visit attraction.

A must visit when in Washington DC, this area is shown on so many films and it was great to actually stand there and see it in real life.

A great Museum so much information here that the name of the museum dosen't encapsulate everything that you can learn about. Even if you just go and touch the moon rock its worth a visit!

Alcatraz

San Francisco

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
A must for anyone visiting San Francisco, but book early as the ferry's fill up easily and only so many visitors can enter on one day, you will be disappointed if you are only there a couple of days and miss out! The audio guides at Alcatraz are excellent so many languages to choose from and so informative, even if there are a lot of people on the island you feel like you are experiencing it personally due to the audio guides. The journey over on the ferry makes you think about the prisoners, guards and their families and how in very bad weather how depressing and bleak the outlook would have been.

Stratosphere Tower

Las Vegas

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
Stayed at the hotel so had free access up to the tower, wow what a view! Having stayed at the Excalibur right at the other end of the strip the last time I visited it was great to see the strip from another angle. The rides up there are not for the faint hearted, especially if you are scared of heights! We stayed in Las Vegas over the 4th July and I don't think we could have been at a better place to view the hundreds of fireworks lighting up the night skies!

Freedom Trail

Boston

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
The Freedom Trail Is one of the top things to include on your trip to Boston, we were lucky enough to be in the city when the university students had left for their summer holidays so it was easy to get around and not too busy. Walking the Freedom trail took us approx 3/4 hours although we did stop at a lot of landmarks along the way as there is so much history to see and reflect upon. Would suggest though if taking your time to see everything you would probably want to walk one way and then get the T or subway back!

Broadway

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
It is so hard to decide which show to go and see when on Broadway, I wanted to see one of the major shows but in the end we got tickets for Rock of Ages (which at the time was not as well known) - what a great decision! I have seen a lot of plays, musicals and shows and can honestly say this would be on the top of the list for shows I would see again. The story is based around some classic 80's rock songs and has you laughing the whole way through, even my husband who is not the biggest fan of theatre absolutely loved the performance. cannot recommend this show enough.

Lantau Island

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
Lantau Island and Giant Buddha Day Trip from Hong Kong Would recommend this tour was one of the best experiences whilst in Hong Kong. Taking the ferry over gave you more of an insight and sense of location to the area of Hong Kong's islands, the guide was very friendly and helpful. The island is very different to the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong with large green mountainous areas and pristine beaches. The vegetarian lunch was great at the monastery, I am a big meat eater so thought I would be hungry but there was so much food and all was very flavorful. The cable car topped the tour off with fantastic views and we were lucky enough to ride in the same car as the guide so had a very informative journey down the mountain!

Peak Tram

Hong Kong

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
This is a must attraction for anyone travelling to Hong Kong. The views are fantastic and really give you a sense of location, there are several shops and dinning outlets at the top of the peak. Would suggest that you choose the time you take the Tram carefully to avoid large groups and long queuing for tickets/tram seats. Every taxi driver knows exactly where to drop you off, taxi's are not expensive and are very safe. Whilst in Hong Kong we took the journey up and back twice as the first day the skies were very overcast and the view impaired however was still worth it but just wanted to see what it was like when the sun was shinning as well!
