I must admit when we arrived in Porto and saw how hilly it was I was a bit nervous about our intended cycle tour, but it was so well-planned with interesting regular stops it wasn't dificult at all! Emma was a fantastic guide, really passionate about Porto and willing to answer all our questions. We had a fab time and would highly recommend this tour.

Porto Hop-On Hop-Off Tour with Optional River Cruise and Wine Tasting
Porto, Portugal
My Rating

These HOHO tours are a great way to see any city. Only problem with this particular one is that the buses aren't frequent so we spent a lot of time waiting around (in the sun, so it wasn't that bad). Annoyingly watched several red buses (competitor HOHO tour) bus go by each time we waited, but the yellow bus does go out to the beach, unlike the red one, which was great. Oh, and careful sitting on top deck, some of the cushioned seats leak and several of us got up with wet behinds a couple times! The River cruise was fabulous - but we werent offered wine so not sure what the "wine tasting" was supposed to have been.

Horseback Riding Tour in Serralada Litoral Natural Park from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

This was an awesome day - we got picked up from central Barcelona and driven out into the country. We got to brush the horses and saddle them up, had a quick lesson in the arena then off out up hills to the most amazing views of Barcelona. This is an experience not to be missed. Lovely gentle ride, lovely girls that took us, and when we got back a real Catalonian lunch, complete with red wine in the sun! Lots of fun. And so different from the usual touristy-tours.

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums Tickets
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Vatican museums - definitely worth doing. Skip the line tickets - I think were a bit over-priced, we went in February, arrived early (as you do when youre not quite sure where youre going) and watched people in the queue go in before us while we waited to be guided in.

Wow wow wow! This was so much fun. Great pace, great guide, we saw so much of Rome we never would have otherwise seen. And don't believe what you hear about the traffic/drivers in Italy, they were very considerate and I felt safe on the roads.
