Day Trip to Gruyères including Golden Panoramic Express Train

Geneva, Switzerland

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

Will recommend this trip as it comprises of chocolate factory and cheese factory which is fun and interesting. For the GoldenLine train ride, though the day we were traveling, the weather is foggy but I feel the section of the train ride does not had very scenic views. Maybe can start the ride from another part which has more scenic views.

Lucerne City Tour

Zurich, Switzerland

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

My Review

Lucerne is a nice city. But the coach bus for this trip is a mixture of people going to Lucerne, Pilatus and Rigi. So I think they make a longer way so as to drop the Rigi people at a drop off point then proceed to Lucerne. By the time we reach Lucerne it's already noon, so I think this is not good. Initially I thought the Lucerne trip just comprise people going to Lucerne whereby they will bring us to a few must see places and then gives us 6hrs of free time. Also the coach bus is not very comfortable and service not as good as another tour that we took.

Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe (from Zurich)

Zurich, Switzerland

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

This is the most enjoyable trip that we had while in Zurich. The tour guide, Kid, is so funny and he makes surges everyone is well taken care of. Especially he makes effort to help everyone to take photos when we comes across scenic views. He even provides wet tissue for each one of us so that we can use it when we visit the toilet in the mountain which he says does not has tap water to wash hands. He allocate seats for everyone in the train so there is actually no chaos and he also makes sure the older folks get to board the trains first. He is such a thoughtful person and I strongly recommend everyone to join this mountain trip, you will understand why we like Kid so much. At the end of the trip, we had stomach cramps from all the laughing.

My Rating

Amsterdam is a much more lively place to visit and see. As it's a long journey to Amsterdam, it would be good if this is were a 2-day trip. I think it's worthwhile spending a night in Amsterdam.

This is a must see site, and it's worth the while to pay for the private viewing. The tour operators take very good care of the group and ensure everybody knows how to get back to hotel as it's quite late when you reach London.

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

My Review
The Skip the Line advantage is good as the queue is super long, but we didn't have a very good experience. First, staff searched around for the Gold menu, and second, the staff definition of a 2-course meal was 1 main course each for 2 people. We paid the price of 2 people for a 2 course meal and understood it to be 1 main course and 1 dessert for each person. I was surprised and shocked that the English people had such an absurd definition of a 2 course meal!

Milan Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'

Milan, Italy

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review
For someone who is visiting Milan for the first time, this is indeed a recommended tour to begin with. The city tour gave an overview which I feel is good enough and the highlight is off course to see the "Last Supper". Highly recommended to book the "Last Supper" tour to guarantee your visit and the local guide gave a good insight of the painting.

Siena and San Gimignano Day Trip from Florence

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

My Review
The tour to and in Siena is very scenic. However, San Gimignano is a bit disappointing as we have very little time there. Please don't forget to try the famous ice-cream in San Gimignano. There are many ice-cream stores but the true authentic one is located right inside where you will see long queue, must try!!
