Skip the Line: Crypts and Roman Catacombs Small Group Walking Tour

Rome, Italy

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

The crypts were on my tour list because I am a writer and needed to go there. The best part of the tor was a stop at a church built on a church, built on top of a first century apartment building with running water! The water system still worked!

Small-Group Ancient Rome and Colosseum Tour: Underground Chambers, Arena and Upper Tier

Rome, Italy

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

We were scheduled for a morning tour but got bumped due to overbooking. Get there early and make contact with the guides immediately. We were taken on our tour in the early afternoon by a wonderful young lady. A native Roman. She knew her history and her architecture. This was a very good tour but did require walking up and down the ruins. My wife and I had a good time, learned a few things and got our daily workout in at the same time.

Skip the Line: Vatican in One Day

Rome, Italy

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This tour was our favorite! The Vatican is a special place, built from the recycled antiquity left over from ancient Rome. It houses the vicar of Christ and many wonderful illustrations of man's devotion to God. Our guide was very well informed and presented herself as a true professional.

This was a great orientation to the city. Use a good map or your smart phone GPS to set a few landmarks. A few pictures of landmarks will help you from being lost too! We had fun!

Rome Arrival Shuttle Transfer: Airport to Hotel

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This was a very entertaining portion of the trip. We had an older gentleman driving to the hotel who was constantly on the phone. I haven't heard that kind of carrying on since I lived in little Italy! He was rude with the less cooperative passengers, as well. However, the guy treated my wife and I graciously. I look at his antics as added entertainment. The ride was fine!

Eiffel Tower, Paris Cabaret Show and Seine River Cruise

Paris, France

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

Sandra and I ate diner at the Eiffel Tower and then walked over to the river for our ride up and down the Seine. The food was good and in adequate quantity. You got to try some wine and could order champagne. The moon came up over the Louvre on our return leg of the cruise. Very romantic! The Moulin Rouge is an over crowded outdated Vegas act. I thin the comedian worked a strip joint somewhere close to the intersection of State and Madison before he came to Paris. The snake act was good! The "red light" district should be color coded as a faded rather dim red. There are better bars at Disney World!

You could spend a month in this one museum. The tour was great and gave me a great orientation to museum. We spent more time there after the tour. We even shopped a little in the area. There is a great little outdoor cafe right there - try it!
