My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

Once again an excellent way of seeing all the major sights in a short space of time. I managed to upgrade my one-day ticket to two days for only an extra US$6, which was a bargain. The guides were all fantastic, very knowledgeable.

Westbank Plantation Tour

New Orleans, Louisiana

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

The Oak Alley tour was brilliant. jackie the guide was outstanding, a perfect host - she made us feel as though it was her own home she was showing us around. The Laura Plantation wasn't great - the guide far too rushed and was quite rude when we actually dared to ask her questions! Not good.

3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

The Paddle Steamer trip on the Natchez was great although not a lot to see on that particular stretch of the Mississippi. But well worth doing for a couple of hours.

Table Mountain and Cape Town Half-Day Trip

Cape Town, South Africa

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
This was a superb trip. The mountain was initially closed, but the guide kept in phone contact and took us straight to the cable car as soon as it opened. It really was a breathtaking experience! The guide was very knowledgeable about his city and was keen and enthusiastic to share it with us.
