Small-Group Deluxe Grand Canyon and Sedona Day Trip
Phoenix, Arizona
My Rating

Kirk R. of Detours was great! Gave good facts about the history and surroundings. Very pleasant and helpful..always professional. If you have limited time to see Grand Canyon--this is the trip to do! Was offered an add-on of a helicoptor tour of North and South Rim of Canyon. What an incredible experience. Sedona Red Rocks and brief stop at Navaho trading post (30 mins) was excellent. Included lunch was healthy, very ample. Had a picnic overlooking the Canyon. Beautiful. Would recommend this trip to those with limited time. Excellent.

Monaco and Eze Small Group Day Trip from Cannes
Cannes, France
My Rating

They did an excellent job. The guide, Marie was excellent. She was knowledgeable and pointed out many interesting historical/cultural facts. Eze is beautiful small 10th c. village. The factory tour of perfume focuses more on methods used many years ago (i.e., not a true tour of a factory) and more time in the sales room. Perfume is quality. Time spent in and around Monaco-the castle, Oceanography museum and surrounding area was well spent. We stopped briefly -1 hour- in Monte Carlo...that was enough to get a sense of the opulence! The scenery and drive from Nice to Monaco and back was beautiful. Went in the low season-December-so crowds were much less. Would recommend for those that want to do a day trip to Monaco. Marie as our guide was superb!

Flight was delayed such that I missed my shuttle connection! So, hard to rate how this experience might have been otherwise.

Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan
My Rating

Excellent tour and well worth the time spent. The tour guide was knowleddgeable and provided us sufficient time at each stop along the way. The best was the 30-40 mins boat trip on Lake Ashi...at 4:30 pm in the afternoon in November, it was dusk and ethereral in atmosphere. Superb. Would do again!

My Rating

Did this tour in the pouring rain in November but the guide was excellent and made the best of the situation. Would recommend to those who want to get a good overview and then later go back and explore more on their own...which is what I did.

The Great Tour of Zurich
Zurich, Switzerland
My Rating

Would recommend this as an initial overview to the city and then go back and see sights more in depth. Tour guide was pleasant but a bit 'scatter-brained"! :-) Trip back on Lake Zurich quite nice. Pack your own lunch in advance and weather permitting enjoy by the shores of Lake Zurich or on the boat trip back.
