My Rating

A very informative and interesting tour. Of course the whole area is enormous and it is impossible to see the Museum etc. in depth during the time available. Nevertheless it was a very worthwhile tour.

It was an easy way to get ones bearing in such a large city and to decide just which sites to visit. I found that one trip was sufficient as it was not that easy to find the bus stops.

Skip the Line: Ancient Rome and Colosseum Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

A fantastic walking tour of Ancient Rome but not for those not interested in a fairly strenuous walk in the heat. Morre than half of those on our tour dropped out before the end due to exhaustion.

Skip the Line: Florence Accademia Gallery Tour
Florence, Italy
My Rating

One needs to visit this gallery if only to see David in all his glory. We still had to wait for over 30 minutes in line so I'm not so sure you really skip the line but you do have an informed tour guide. We did not have the hired audio equipment so couldn't compare our guide with the available audio.

Florence City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Florence, Italy
My Rating

I loved the two tours available on this bus, especially the Red line which lasted for two hours. There is some duplication of areas visited which is good if you missed photos first time around but you get a fantastic overview of Florence and views from the nearby hills.

Murano, Burano and Torcello Half-Day Sightseeing Tour
Venice, Italy
My Rating

I believe the tour a waste of time as you can use the Vaporetto to visit each of the islands independently. The factory glass blowing in Murano was very quick and simple and designed solely to sell touristy products. Little information given. The other island visits were of little value other than to see local products being sold like glass trinkets and lace products which you can see all over Venice. Skip it and buy a three day Vaporetto pass instead.

My Rating

We had a fantastic day seeing these beautiful sights with a very friendly and obliging driver. Well worthwhile and highly recommended. So good to leave the city and see the surrounding countryside.
