We really enjoyed the trip because of the variety of experiences- boat road across the huge lake with wonderful views, walk in huge, dark underground tunnel/cave alongside roaring river, peaceful boat ride in dark, glow worm lit caves, then an interesting presentation whilst having coffee/tea.

Excellent day trip. The trip around Kotor Bay and up the mountain especially was breathtaking. Saw alpine village, towns, villages, countryside.Border crossing good. Highly recommend. Met other travellers who went with a different company and their trip was very different and not nearly as good.

Don't miss this excellent trip. You visit 3 different and interesting islands on a replica galleon. Sailing on the deep blue Adriatic is superb. Atmosphere on board is great - all ages join in singing when fun band plays.(guitars and piano accordion.) Fish lunch provided on board. If toy only have time for 1 island trip do this one.

We had done other island trips so found this a bit repetitive. Korcula town is mini, more run down Dubrovnik. Guide talked way too long. Have to drive over 2  hours in bus to get to ferry - ferry trip just 20  minutes. Wine trip is on mainland - not on island as we thought - so you only get to see the town on Korcula. The Elafiti Island trip is far, far better.

Excellent tour - bus trip interesting and informative, Port Arthur tour excellent, plenty of time to explore on your own. ! didn't expect Port Arthur to be so beautiful - some lovely gardens and impressive buildings. I learnt a great deal - there were 'horrors, but there was also a rehabilitation program of training in trades. Very interesting and enjoyable day.

Very good day trip. Obidas was great. You walk in a circle round this beautiful old town - when you go into the town everyone is told to go left. Take the right hand lower path and go anti clock wise. This way you see all the beautiful sites first without the crowds and leave the shops till last. Fatima and baltha when interesting even if you are not religious.

Don't miss going to Sintra - absolutely gorgeous area and the castle is quirky and nothing like the usual castles. It is set in beautiful, extensive grounds. The Estoril coast was good too - suggest you take the lunch option - was quite good and quickly served.

It was a good show, but not fantastic. I have seen better in Melbourne, and I was disappointed that they didn't do the traditional cancan. I suggest you go to the later show - it's the same as the dinner show and much cheaper. Paris Illuminations was OK.

There are 18km of passages and queues a mile long, so this is the best way to see the Louvre. Our guide was excellent and took us to the key points. We saw tons and loved it. It would have taken us a whole frustrating day to do the same thing ourselves.
