Fall Foliage Spectacular Tour from Boston
Boston, Massachusetts
My Rating

We came in the fall, so the weather was nice. But the leaves haven’t quite entirely turned orange yet. The entire journey was more like chasing one small town after another. The locations we stopped by for photo ops are hits and misses. We had fish and pumpkin ale for lunch, and it was tasty but not exceptional. I guess it’s reasonable for the price we paid. The tour guide was friendly but the overall group dynamic was not very cheerful. I may have preferred selecting another tour destination.

Boston Duck Tour
Boston, Massachusetts

We had great fun taking the Duck Tour. The route covers the major points of interests with tour guide’s introduction of history and tales. The ride in the river was pleasant and enjoyable. I highly recommend taking the Duck Tour, especially for the first time visit in Boston.

Lake Como Day Trip from Milan
Milan, Italy
My Rating

This tour is definitely worth of going. The tour guide did not provide too much information about the city or region history, but the scenery alone was beautiful. I saw several past reviews complained about the time spent at Bellagio being too short - I recommend everyone eating the lunch on the boat, that way you can immediately explore Bellagio once you get off the boat. We made the mistake of skipping lunch on boat and wasted 45 minutes just to try the lake fish meal at an outdoor restaurant. The fish was good, but not worth of the time waiting to be served.

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride
Venice, Italy
My Rating

I have booked over 15 tours in 5 different countries through Viator, this is the only tour company that I had trouble making the confirmation. I always call the number listed in the voucher at least 24 hours ahead to confirm our arrival, with this tour company, it is so difficult to reach a live person just for the confirmation. The tour was led by a tour guide whose accent was so heavy that I could barely understand her. The only thing we enjoyed was the gondola ride, but we could have done it on our own without joining the tour group.

Tuscany in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Florence, Italy
My Rating

This was definitely the best tour we had joined during our 8-day visit in Italy. Our tour guide Chris was born in Florence but grew up in Seattle, he was excellent and did a wonderful job. We enjoy the visit to the organic farm, where we had a great lunch meal paired with 4 different wines. We spent plenty of time in Pisa taking a lot of pictures. We later met with some other travelers from Florida who signed up for a different tour, but they didn't get to enjoy the kind of lunch and wine experience as we did.

The tour guide Inger was from U.S. She was very knowledgeable and patient. We enjoyed the visit and highly recommend it. Visitors should expect to pay extra for the museum admission which is not included in the tour price. Tip your tour guide if you think they did a good job.

New Orleans Cooking Class
New Orleans, Louisiana
My Rating

This is a fun class worth attending. I don't usually cook, but I enjoy watching Food Network shows. Originally my husband didn't want to come, thinking it might be boring. After the class, he realized he was wrong. It was fun, and there was plenty of food - beer alone would be worth it.

We were lucky that the weather was extremely nice on our tour day. Although not particularly full of excitement, the boat tour was smooth and enjoyable. If you have never attended this tour before, it's worth going at least for once.
