Singapore Zoo Night Safari Tour with optional Buffet Dinner
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: Hotel pickup went smoothly and I was happy that we were also returned to our hotels at the end of the night. The buffet was worth the cost and a there was plenty of choice. Our guide was really helpful in giving advice regarding what times to avoid when selecting activities - to avoid huge queues. It was a lovely evening and certainly worth considering for tourists visiting Singapore.

Prague Vltava River Lunch Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
My Review: The food was quite good and the boat was not crowded which made it more comfortable for everyone. For the price I think the coffee should at least be included even if the wine wasn't.

Prague in One Day Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Prague, Czech Republic
My Review: A good coverage of Prague. Our guide was good in keeping us all together and not losing us in the crowds at the castle. We got a good position to see the changing of the guard to. Worthwhile.

Three Day Frankfurt to Munich - Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Hohenschwangau, Neuschwanstein
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Frankfurt, concludes Munich, Germany
My Review: Well worth the price paid. Everything worked well - the transport and accommodation was first class. The hotels that were booked were top quality. I recommend the nightwatchman's tour in Rothenburg. You are given a choice of that or the day tour and I opted for the night one. The nightwatchman was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. This was a great way to see the Romantic Road - plenty of photo opportunity stops along the way.

Heidelberg Half-Day Trip from Frankfurt
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Frankfurt, Germany
My Review: This was a lovely trip with and Grit was a very good guide. You are given free time to explore Heidelberg and indulge in a little shopping if desired.
The lunch pack was a bit disappointing though. The sandwiches could have been a little fresher.

The Royal Yacht Britannia
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Review: An interesting tour and I was pleased that there was no rush to get around. The signage on the yacht is easy to follow. The only minor difficulty was finding where the entrance to the yacht was from the shopping mall but the person on the information desk gave me excellent directions. I caught the bus from Princes Street which was easy, quick and inexpensive. This tour is a must if you are in Edinburgh.

Paris Night Bike Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Paris, France
My Review: I loved this tour. It can be a bit tricky in the traffic if you are inexperienced on the roads like I am. However, with the additional guide at the rear of the 'pack' and following the instructions to keep close together it was fine. One of the highlights was cycling around the forecourt of the Louvre - magic!! The boat trip with the wine tasting was great too. I loved every minute and as an older (not too fit) traveller I recommend it to others.

Berlin Sightseeing Cruise on the River Spree
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Berlin, Germany
My Review: The starting point was not central and if I went again I would not pre-book. That way I could just go to a starting point closer to where I was staying.

Berlin Bike Tour: Berlin Wall and Cold War
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Berlin, Germany
My Review: Loved this tour. Great guide who knew a lot of interesting detail about what we were seeing. I doubt that any other tour would include so much. Highly recommended for all ages especially as the route is pretty flat.

Potsdam Day Bike Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Berlin, Germany
My Review: A really interesting tour and a great way to see Potsdam. Our guide was really good. We stopped at a lovely beer garden by the lake for lunch. Tam, our guide, helped everyone order their lunch. That was really appreciated since the menu was in German and I certainly needed help. The audio tour through the location for the Potsdam Conference was really interesting.

Berlin Bike Tour

My Rating:
Location: Berlin, Germany
My Review: Sumi was a great guide and made sure we had a great day. We covered a lot of ground and she made it really interesting. I learnt so much about Berlin and I didn't feel uncomfortable riding on the roads even though I had very little experience in traffic.

Alkmaar Cheese Market and Dutch Windmills Half-Day Trip from Amsterdam
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: Really enjoyed this tour. The guide told us so much as we travelled to Alkmaar about the things we were seeing on the way. The cheese market was pretty crowded but I still got some great photos. Having a look inside a windmill was good and worth the extra couple of Euros.

Amsterdam Cannabis Walking Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Review: I was the only one who turned up. Apparently nobody else had booked and they were not keen to take one person. I was reluctantly given a partial refund. Might be better not to pre-book and just show up and see if the tour was running.
