New York Departure Shuttle Transfer: Hotel to Airport
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: This is a good service, you need to telephone the shuttle service the day before you depart to book your pick up time.
The shuttle driver asked which airline we were flying with and dropped us off right outside the terminal entrance door nearest the airline checkin desk.
Well worth booking.

New York City Full-Day Guided Coach Tour Including Lunch
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: Very good way to see many of the sites around New York for a first time visitor. The one hour cruise around the harbour was very good, as was the visit to the "Top of the Rock" The "Grayline" coach was very comfortable and the driver was good especially seeing he had to continually divert around traffic and closed roads because of the 9/11 anniversary security.
It was a shame that the tour guide was a Croatian with a strong accent, this posed a problem occasionally trying to listen to information over the coach PA system.

Empire State Building Tickets - Observatory and Optional Skip the Line Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: Worth booking the tickets in advance, we only waited about 10 mins in the security queue, after that with the express tickets we were able to skip all the queues. This is especially useful when you are trying to get to the ground floor. Audio device was worth the extra fees as it tells you exactly what you are looking at when you are on the observation deck.

New York Arrival Shuttle Transfer: Airport to Hotel
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: New York City, New York
My Review: Well worth the money for the door to door service, but be prepaired to wait at the airport up to 40 mins for the shuttle to arrive.
If this is not acceptable then you need to book a private car, or take a taxi and pay the extra costs.

Bangkok Grand Palace and River of Kings Canal Cruise Small-Group Tour

Bangkok Chinatown and Night Markets Small-Group Tour including Dinner
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
My Review: In my opinion this tour is more suited to the young and very keen walker. The Temple was excellent, but China town market was repetitive and you walk through so quick you do not actually get time to look at individual stalls if you are interested in buying anything. We actually stopped the tour after China town and caught a taxi back to the hotel. Tour guide Nop was very informative and friendly.
