The Barcelona Highlights tour was fantastic! Our guide, Ramon, was incredibly enthusiastic and made the experience so special. He had so much energy and excitement, it was contagious. He truly loved what he was doing and it showed in the way he guided us.

The guided Tuk-Tuk tour in Lisbon was a great choice, especially with all the hills in the city. It gave us a wonderful overview and made navigating the city on foot later much easier. The Tuk-Tuk took us to all the must-see places, and it was convenient to know how to revisit them afterward.

The Flamenco night was a lot of fun. We had front row seats, which was fantastic, as it felt like we were right in the middle of all the action. It was an entertaining and captivating experience.

Our excursion to Sintra and Pena Palace was made exceptional by our guide, Miguel. He was like a walking encyclopedia and had an impressive depth of knowledge about everything we saw. He answered all our questions and was so informative. It was a pleasure to be guided by someone so well-versed and intelligent.

Beautiful location by water

Best view of Douro River!

Best staff, so kind and helpful!

The hotel was okay but the location in Lisbon was different from the area I initially requested.

This guide was excellent along with the provided coach.

The driver/guide knew little about the destinations and left us to ferret out information in each location.

The staff is wonderful. The room was very small and an odd set up. We didn’t LOVE the location.

If you want to feel like royalty, stay here.

The views, accommodations and food are unparalleled.

we were both so surprised how much we enjoyed this activity and just how much we learned on it.

This was probably our least favorite activity. We biked 40 Km which we absolutely were not expecting. And since it was in sienna, it was almost all on gravel roads. There were portions of it where we were truly off Roading uphill in the gravel, thank goodness the two of us are in decent shape and very coordinated. I honestly don’t think the average person would’ve been able to do this. The lunch we ended up having was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking and we will remember that forever! When I have done a bike tours in the past, there was a lot more scenery involved, and I was disappointed in that part of this

We arrived late and our guide was very kind to include us fully. Yoon was terrific!

This is was a good way to get out of Seoul and learn more history. Suwon had more outdoor space for us!

A great way to learn Korean culture and history.

Great location in the heart of the city. Our room was tiny, the only one of the floor that had a former office divided into two rooms.

Tallinn was wonderful. It has a great old walled city with lots to see. Our guide was very knowledgeable about it and made it a fun day.

This was a highlight tour while we were in Finland. Porvoo is a quaint waterfront city with an old shopping district. We also enjoyed the Sibelius monument and the rock church in Helsinki. Our guide, George, was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole day. The only reservation we had was that he insisted on telling us about sauna even after we told him we have one in our home in California. I didn't need to be sold on sauna.

The Fjord itself is spectacular and the cruise well paced to allow you to enjoy the waterfalls and other sights.

The trip to get there takes you out of your way to the fjord itself. The view from there is spectacular overall, but the Geiranger Fjord is but a speck in the distance.

Although I was a bit skeptical about this going into it, the experience was really fun. The owner walked us through a tasting of ciders and then paired them excellent food choices. I was not a cider drinker before this, but I have gained a whole new appreciation for the genre.

This was not a worthwhile cruise in our view.

Lene was fantastic, not just this day but for the whole time we were with her in Norway. On this day, she exerted her "site location" skills from the movie industry to help locate the villages where Deborah and Pat's ancestors once lived.

The staff paid such personalized attention to us, and the dining room was always warm and inviting.

My four year old daughter and I loved this!!! My son... not so much ;-) Definitely fast, you'll definitely get wet!

Our tour guide was so funny and engaging with my kids!

Not for the faint of heart! Gorgeous views

My kids were so invested in the miniature mountain and castle, and loved the final movie experience.

There are no words, and certainly 5 stars is not even enough. I could have spent my entire vacation here. Spanish, provential, mountain retreat. We spent just a few days exploring the nearby Verdon Gorge. Despite all its natural beauty the kids would still ask if we could just go back to our amazing hotel room! Space for everyone and beautiful private serene grounds to recharge and relax in.

Great home base in Paris. Central location for walking to many sights as well as great food nearby. Excellent petit dejuener on site too. Family apartment provided all the amenities to make it a home away from home; fridge, microwave, tea kettle, coffee, daily water, balcony, and dining table.

Top favorite activity for both our kids ages 8 and 15. They had climbed very few times, my husband and I never before. But it was catered amazingly well for everyone’s level of climbing. Great day, great view, GREAT guide Christine! Views of gorge are beautiful. Started out very cool in am (jacket!) but warms up when sun is on you climbing. Layers necessary.

My husband and 15 year old loved this tour. I am claustrophobic and would not have done well (they confirmed that!). FYI

One of our 2 5 star activities on our 12 day family trip to France. She’s 8, 15, mom and dad enjoyed 4 hours in the water. Kayaking, snorkeling, beach, caves. steady work paddling for many hours but the beauty was well work it.

Eze is AMAZING! True Provençal French town. So many great views, wonderful shops and casual dining. 2 hours is not nearly enough!! Needed more time here and less at the oceanographic museum.

The cruise is nice, but we preferred many of our guided toured over this. Gives a good overview of the lay of parts of Paris. Line proved much shorter near lunch hour than the popular evening cruise with very long lines.

Hotel location is 20 min to the airport with low traffic. The airport shuttle was effective but If you're short on time I don't recommend staying here.

Perfect location on the second best beach in Naxos! Was really nice to walk the beach and lounge on the comfortable chairs. One improvement could be the wasp and bee control in the open snack/buffet area as it was almost impossible to enjoy our breakfast outdoors!

Great location within walking distance to the shopping and restaurant district. Very quaint!

Great location on the beach ! With overall modern design and individual pool tub with rooms.

Extremely well located in the heart of the core in Athens - easy walking distance to so much!

Free to do and plan as you want. Feel free to rent a small car or ATV if you're feeling adventurous.

Very informative and excellent choice for guide

Excellent guide - very informative

We did NOT do this activity

Excellent tour guide

Wonderful experience for 3 wineries and local snacks/food.

9 hours makes for a long trek on the Catamaran especially if the seas are rough. Overall a great experience with lunch and 3 stops for swimming or snorkeling!

Time was limited and without a rental vehicle you can't do much

No comments as we did not have much time to enjoy this

Excellent experience and tour guide very informative.

Excellent experience but be prepared to walk uphill and around.

This hotel is nicely located near key sites and shopping. The staff was wonderful. We had a junior suite (Room 610), which was a king bed with a sitting room. Very nice! We enjoyed the breakfast and all day coffee and water. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the hotel is a bit dated in its furnishings. So the facility is 4 star but the experience was 5 star.

We loved our apartment style room in this historic hotel. The staff was great and the furnishings very beautiful. We discovered the stunning rear garden too late to use it but it is lovely! The location of the hotel was very convenient.

We enjoyed this restaurant, but on another night we went to Barrio do Avillez - Pateo for dinner and we liked that quite a bit more. The vibe was more fun.

We went to Sintra on a spectacular day and the palace is incredible. We had skip the line tickets which was great, but you are really just skipping the entrance line, not the main line that snakes throughout the palace rooms. Its a very congested experience. We walked over to the Moors castle and enjoyed that. We then - with some struggling - found the walking path down to the town and ate at the perfect restaurant for a late lunch: Tascantiga. The food was delicous and we were lucky enough to sit outside at a lovely table. Our improvising made things a little challenging for our driver, who did not seem very happy about our changes in plan.

We loved the vibe of this place and the food too!

We had to shorten our ride duration from 3 hours to 2 but our guide (the company owner!) adjusted and was awesome. My husband said he wasn't really looking forward to the bike trip but afterward it was one of his favorite activites. The ride along the beach was spectacular. It was our first time on e-bikes -- they are wonderful and easy!

We were worried this might be a cheesy tourist experience. It definitely is for tourists but it was also very fun and the music and service were great. Our food was also good.

Staff, location, room, and food were all best of your.

Restaurant was not open. Nearest food was a two mile walk away. Unreliable taxi service.

A wonderful experience and comfortable nights sleep.

Excellent location. Restaurant was wonderful and staff was great.

They charged 20 Euros for early check in. Rooms were quite small for two travelers.

Guides were very personable and knowledgeable of the area. It was a long drive and a relatively short hike but the nature and conversation made up for this. Cooking sausages over the fire was a bonus.

Cold, rainy weather did not stop the tour, thank goodness. Views were limited and our snack was a cold quick one, but what can you do? Guide was very patient and provided us a wonderful experience.

Driver did everything possible to find lights. Unfortunately they were a no show.

Again, weather wasn’t great, but we made the most of our experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and provided a safe, exciting experience. I would have preferred a longer run than we had(had to drag raft back up river to make additional runs) but we enjoyed the experience. The trip included lunch and a sauna experience which we declined. We expected rafting, not eating or sauna.

Nice sauna experience and good food, not great. Guide was very accommodating and provided a wonderful, personal experience.

Amazing experience. Guide was knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy the experience. Weather wasn’t great, but it was not a problem. This was a great hike!

Again, not a lot to do at 6:00 when it is dark at 7:30. Weather wasn’t great, but that wasn’t the issue. We should have gone at 4:00 and perhaps canoed on a river or something more fun than a lake.

Not much to hear about. Guide was informative but we wasted our time on this tour.

Guide was ok. Seemed he was reading from a script. His mind was elsewhere.

Amazing. Wonderful experience and knowledgeable guide.

Guide was knowledgeable and quite entertaining. I felt we got a good exposure of the Helsinki City Center and history.

Not much of a hike. (Less than 2 miles). Guide was knowledgeable and provided as much information as possible. Just not much there to see.

Guide was informative, and fun to be with. Good balance of cycling and sauna time.

This is a charming hotel and our room was quite spacious and comfortable, with a large closet, nice bathroom, and desk area. We had specified a west or south facing balcony, hoping to sit it the sun in the late afternoon. We had a covered porch that was shaded and looked out on a parking lot, so although it was a nice space, next time we would be more specific about our intentions. The reception staff, especially Veronica, were helpful. We enjoyed our dinners in the hotel restaurant.

Our room was spacious and perfectly comfortable. The staff at reception spoke excellent English, which helped us, but the people were not especially helpful.

This is a full service hotel with a fabulous location. You can take a tram (#3 or #7) from the train station and be within 2 blocks of the hotel. Once you don't have luggage, it's very easy to take the 5 minute tram ride over the bridge to old town, or walk and take pictures along the way. Our room was comfortable with a table and chairs, and breakfast was just fine.

We had a private walking tour with Chris, a very experienced guide. He was so knowledgeable, and at the same time asked us a lot questions so that we spent our time together in the most useful way.

What a perfect introduction to Wroclaw! We loved seeing the sights while learning a bit about the history of the city. Our guide even helped us make a purchase in a convenience store, when the only local currency we had was large bills from an ATM.

Our guide was low key and very knowledgeable about his city. The tour group was 12 or so English speakers, and we thought it was time well spent.

What a lovely and relaxing trip! We hustled to get to the boat shortly after checking into our hotel, and it all worked out!

Bicycling was the perfect way to tour central Berlin. It would have been intimidating to do this on our own in a strange city, but our tour took us on easy-to-navigate streets and included the highlights we wanted to see. It rained at one point and our tour guide had ponchos for everyone!

Excellent location, walkable to many museums and historic sites. It’s surrounded by great places to eat. Each room has a small kitchen, so there’s no on-site restaurant. There are complementary beverages and vending machines in the lobby, and there’s a small gym with a few machines and free weights.

So relaxing! A great way to wind down the day

Our guide was so caring, knowledgeable, and fun! We met him in Versailles and started the day with tasting and shopping in the market for our picnic lunch. After a quick stop at the bike rental shop, we set out for the gardens at a leisurely pace (most of the bikes lacked gears), stopping frequently to check in and explain about the area. After leading the group through the forest and around a pond, he took us through the Grand Trianon, and then let us explore the Petit Trianon and Marie’s Hamlet on our own.

Our guide took a perfectly-paced slow tour through Saint Chapelle, pointing out details in the stained glass, the architecture, and changes through its history

Excellent way to see the highlights, as the Louvre is vast

Our guide gave us an excellent overview of the city, not just the Revolution.

Amazing view from an iconic place

Lots to see, ranging from gardens to shopping
