Niagara Falls Adventure Pass

My Review
This is the definitive way to see Niagara Falls. Combine it with a visit to the IMAX, lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, a drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake, dinners at Skylon Tower and to get away from the falls for a while Oh Canada eh! show and you have a perfect getaway for 3 days. Great mini holiday! Just don't forget your documents if you want to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

My Review
We spent 6 days in New York. CityPass was great, allowing us to skip most lines not the security lines.That itself made it worthwhile, even it wasn't cheaper than the individual activities. Took 4 days to get through as we did ESB and Liberty Ellis tour on the one day. Guggenheim only took half day bit of a let-down and only had a half day for MOMA but could have spent longer. Natural History Museum & The Met easily take full days. Had a great time in NYC. Don't forget to buy a 7 day subway ticket - best value to get to everything efficiently, including the odd musical we went to two.

My Review
The queue to get into the Vatican Museums is horrendous, even out of peak season. That alone made this tour worthwhile. Of course, seeing the artistic treasures and St. Peter's Basilica with commentary from a guide made it better than just walking through alone. Even our six-year-old coped.

My Review
This is a great way to see the ancient buildings in a short time with a knowledgeable tour guide. It was a hot day, but the guide brought us to drinking fountains. Even our six-year-old coped. It would have been nice to go into the Colosseum, though. We didn't have time to return and wait in the queue.

Skip the Line: Venice in One Day

My Review
This is the best way to see Venice if you're only spending a day or two there, or as an introduction to the city, including the hidden extras that you would not find yourself. Skipping the queue at St. Mark's Basilica made it worthwhile, even though we weren't there in peak season. The canal cruise was great. Our group of five had a boat and a guide and a bottle of champagne to ourselves.
