Hong Kong Island Half-Day Tour

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review
The view from the top of Victoria Peak was spectacular and the trip back down on the tram was an experience not to be missed. Trip out on the boat was interesting, particularly seeing how people live on the house boats and time in Stanley with no-pressure market and a chance to sit on the lovely beach was worthwhile. Less pleasing was the trip to the jewelry factory, where your 'personal' shopper follows you around, could be missed out of the trip altogether from our point of view. Guide was knowledgeable.

My Review
We felt that there could be a bit more choice on the menu for those there to be selected. It did mean that we could be seated 10 minutes after arrival as opposed to 40 minutes for the group of the same size that entered after us. Pleasant venue with very good waiter.

Paris City Tour with Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch

Paris, France

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
A very pleasant day. Trip set off on time, and loved the coach with the personal headphones for commentary. Guide who took us to first stage of Eiffel Tower was charming and helpful. Lunch was very nice, and staff were extremely pleasant and kind. We took the opportunity to go to the top, worth doing but very crowded - it was half term holiday weekend! Trip on Seine taken at own leisure - you have two years to use the voucher! We went at dusk and so saw everything in light and lit up for dark. Again commentary very interesting and clear. Good value for money and an enjoyable introduction to Paris.

Dublin City Hop On Hop Off Tour plus Walking Tour

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review
Bus service was good with two routes to choose from and lots of buses. We were disappointed that we bought tickets that included two walking tours that were not available after September. They should not have been available to buy in October.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
A very enjoyable evening. The venue was changed, to accommodate the large contingent we assumed and the menu was different and in our view, better. The entertainment was fun. A definite must when visiting Dublin.

Skip the Line: Guinness Storehouse Entrance Ticket

Dublin, Ireland

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
Really enjoyed it. Well thought out tour. Wonderful views from Gravity Bar but too crowded, even mid-morning, to enjoy glass of Guinness in there, plenty of room down one floor to another bar. Still worth getting there early even with skip the line pass.
