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

It was well worth seeing Burano. Very nice island and beautiful buildings.
Murano was just a quick stop to see the Glass Factory, more of sales pitch than a tour. There was no time to see the island as we only stopped in Murano for 40 mins. Most of which was taken up by the Glass Factory demo and mandatory stop at the Glass factory store.
There was not much to see on Torcello.

Montserrat Royal Basilica Half-Day Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

This is a nice trip up to the mountains. If you book the train ride, the only advantage is that it's a quicker way up. However, not really worth the extra money as, it's really quick. There is not much to do up on Montserrat. It's very small and just one cathedral to see. Unless you are extremely keen on seeing the Cathedral, I would give this one a miss. :(

Hot Air Balloon Flight over Catalonia
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

This tour was excellent. We were picked up on time, great driver with good humor! The AIr Balloon ride was superb! Gorgeous view of the the Catalonia country side. Ended with a Champaign brunch as promised. Returned back to Barcelona on time as indicated. All of the staff of this tour were great! We were lucky with the early morning sunshine and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this!

Barcelona Hop-on Hop Off Tour: East to West Route
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

The very best way to see Barcelona. We purchased a two day pass and that was perfect as we were not rushed at all for time. We enjoyed all of the stops, took lots of pictures too and were back in time to enjoy an early evening Sangria and dinner. I recommend you take a printed copy of the voucher (they indicate that an electronic copy is valid, but they will not accept this. You must have a physical printed copy! - this will save to you time to go and get this printed and come back as it happened to us). - Suggest you start earlier by 10am to avoid long lines for the buses that leave around 11am. - Lots of fun!

Tarragona and Sitges Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

Our tour began with a very friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide - Julia. She was awesome. Tarragona was really nice place but a little short on time. Sitges was also nice, but we had way too much time there. I think more time in Tarragona would have been really great. Nice one day tour. If you are vegetarian - then good luck in finding anything to eat in Sitges (that's where our lunch stop was). None of the restaurants had anything vegetarian at all! That sucked - Make sure you take sandwiches or something else to eat from Barcelona. - Otherwise an enjoyable day trip.
