London Shared Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: We were disgusted at how we were treated on the return pickup from the hotel to the airport. We confirmed our flight and pickup time as requested. We were picked up at the nominated time of 4pm - our numerous bags were loaded into the boot of the sedan car and as we left the hotel the driver informed us we were picking up another two passengers and their luggage. We were surprised to say the least - there was no way that any more luggage would fit in this small sedan let alone another two adults. We arrived at the second hotel and then found out that this couple were going to Heathrow and their flight was leaving at midnight and we were leaving from Gatwick with our flight leaving at 9pm and that the Heathrow couple were being dropped off before us !!. My husband asked the driver to contact his Supervisor and after some discussion it was agreed that another car would be sent to pickup the couple going to Heathrow. It was now after 5pm and the driver was quite flustered. He mumbled something about there not being a motorway to Gatwick until the last few miles and that we would have to be patient with him. This was our first visit to London and we were not sure about where the motorways went so we believed him. We then spent the next 2 hrs and 50 mins inching through the rush hour traffic to finally arrive at Gatwich at 8pm with our flight due to depart at 9:15pm !! We were so stressed out to arrive so late at the airport through no fault of our own. We will not let that happen to us again!!! We will DEMAND the motorway no matter what !

Lunch in the Cotswolds from London

My Rating: 
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This was an excursion both my husband and I were really looking forward to - and we were not disappointed. It was a busy day - but we saw 3 villages in the Cotswolds with a wonderful lunch and then Stratford on Avon - a wonderful day - highly recommended.

London Eye: Skip the Line Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: Again - skipping the line was a bonus - there was a long long queue and we were on board the Eye within 5 minutes. We opted for a dusk trip and this was a fantastic experience - traveling up as the sun was setting and then watching the lights bring London to life for the night - highly recommend this excursion.

Skip the Line: Tower of London Tickets
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: What an amazing place ! We had another amazing day here and spent many hours wandering around the Tower of London. Skipping the line was a real bonus - recommend getting the audio guides for a few pounds - they helped bring the whole area to life.

London Shared Arrival Transfer: Airport to Hotel
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: London, United Kingdom
My Review: This was one of the smoothest transfers we have ever experienced. A well mannered driver was waiting patiently for us and we were whisked away in a clean Mercedes. Shame the return pickup was not as professional

Tokyo Highlights Afternoon Tour and Sumida River Cruise
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Tokyo, Japan
My Review: Places visited were within easy reach of the city. The river cruise was boring - all the guide did was name the bridges, no history of the surrounding sites. We left the tour at the Asakusa shrine and made our way home after shopping.

Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Tokyo, Japan
My Review: We had a excellent time even though we didn't get to see the summit of Mt. Fuji. Our guide was most knowledgeable, entertained us all through the trip, and saw that we all safely made it home in unfamiliar surroundings. Highly recommend.
