Fun stay! The captain and chef were very friendly and gracious hosts.

Pleasant stay.

Stunning rooms and beautiful estate. Wifi didn't work at all and dining area was basic. Remote and not much to do at the hotel.

Beautiful hotel but staff were not that helpful.

Pleasant stay!

Okay stay. No wifi in the rooms.

Excellent buffet!

Nice stay. Wifi was an issue and room was a bit basic given the fanciness of hotel. Also, the room was far from the lake so not much of a lake view.

Stunning hotel!

Excellent stay!

A magical tour of some beautiful monasteries! Chomphel was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic!

Incredible scenery and breath-taking Diskit!

Valley was beautiful but we had to abandon the cable car ride due to excessive wait times.

An interesting class on spices!

Yoga was wonderful - a lovely teacher!

A stunning time exploring the backwaters or Kerala and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Captain & Chef were very friendly and helpful.

We cancelled this tour due to my illness.

More phenomenal monasteries!

Free evening to chill.

Houseboat was stunning! Beautiful lounge area & roof deck. Room was excellent for a houseboat. Both hosts were very friendly and helpful. One shared dining table for all guests was impractical. On the second night, we arrived at the dinner table at our allotted time to find another guest's child playing with our food. The next morning we ate breakfast at our allotted time while other guests sat almost on top of us, watching us intently and waiting for their turn to eat breakfast. It was uncomfortable. Perhaps, it's a cultural difference here, as we prefer to have our own space when eating. Food was very basic given the fanciness of the houseboat experience. We expected better food and more variety. Also, our schedule was so busy that we only got back to the houseboat at around 8pm on both days so didn't really have time enjoy the houseboat. The Shikara ride was fun.

Pleasant exploring of Srinagar.

Chilled day after 2 weeks of intensive travel.

Pleasant tour of the local temples.

Excellent walking tour!

Chilled day.

The hike was okay and the tea museum visit was a disappointment and not worth a visit.

An excellent walk in nature!

A wonderful array of activities - especially the cooking demonstration.

Chilled day.

We cancelled this tour due to my illness.

A fun time learning Kerala Cuisine from Rosy! And the food was delicious!

The place is very nice and extremely relaxed. I found the rooms more basic than I had hoped, but comfortable. The noise from others in adjecent rooms is an issue, one can hear every word spoken by the occupants in the rooms next to and below. I would tell your guests that this could be anissue. The pool was very nice and so was the gorgeous setting for the cottages. Breakfast was poor in my opinion as the taste was not good, the sausages were disgusting and the curry I ordered was tasteless. I did nt tell them this as I did want to upset the staff. A nice place overall, but not as good as it looks on the internet!~

Perfection. The only place to stay whilst in Mexico city

Hubby and I were in awe. You definitely need 2 while days to see it all

Super beautiful hotel in the heart of Cartagena. We loved the courtyard, breakfast, and rooftop view!

Beautiful location, friendly staff, very relaxing place to hang for a few days :)

Beautiful location and friendly staff! We loved that the rooms had AC and had a great time snorkeling and on the jellyfish tour. Took off one star for two reasons: 1) it was difficult to schedule snorkeling and other tours (but we really enjoyed them once we were scheduled!) and 2) we got food poisoning (probably from the buffet). Overall though I'd still recommend this spot -- especially if you're traveling with kids!

We love bikes and bike tours so this was a perfect way to kick off our time in Colombia. Our local guide (she was amazing!) and her colleague (who had biked all over Colombia!) took us all around town, sharing Bogota with us. Really an unforgettable experience learning about the local art, history, and food. Thank you for making this day so special!

We arrived in the amazing setting of the Casa de Vista Alta and were warmly welcomed by Ester. The entire casa is intimate, warm, immaculate, well appointed and has an amazing staff. Our room was beyond words. The meals we had there were delicious and beyond plentiful. The bird watching was top notch. My only regret was not spending another day there.

Sebastian prepared us well for this adventure. I was a bit nervous since I hadn't been higher than the Matterhorn in Switzerland. He stopped for a warm tea before driving us up to the parking lot for Cotopaxi. The little store we stopped at was charming. I was thrilled by the experience of walking a 100 feet at that elevation, in the stormy elements of the day. On the way down we stopped at the park's cultural center. Sebastian briefed us on the exhibits in the center. We also stopped at a charming and memorable restaurant for a late lunch. There was a "petting zoo" on the grounds of the restaurant. We all were thrilled feeding the lamas the vegetables provided by the restaurant.

What amazing memories I have from this part of our adventure! It was the complete package with lots of information on the area, the culture, the animals, plants, birds, insects. The people were warm and gracious. Our guide Sergio aka "Tyson" was incredibly bright, informative and a delight to be around. He made our experience in the wonderful setting of the Napo Cultural Center unforgetable.

The Rossio Plaza Hotel was a clean and welcoming place to spend our two nights in Lisbon! The hotel was accommodating when we arrived in the city earlier than our check-in time by holding onto our luggage for us while we explored the city on the first day of our trip. This hotel is located in the heart of Lisbon which makes it extremely easy to walk around the city. Our only critique is that our top-floor room had a slanted ceiling which made the room feel very small and difficult to navigate.

My husband and I loved staying at Hotel Moon and Sun Porto during our honeymoon. The hotel is clean, well run, and extremely welcoming. The hotel offered to hold our bags for us when we arrived in Porto earlier than check in time. They were able to give us a clear understanding of the services that are offered at the hotel, and they were very flexible when it came to our 4 am check-out time so that we could catch our flight to the next stop on our trip.

The atmosphere at the Hotel One Shot Luchana 22 truly helped to give this boutique hotel an authentic feel. The main floor of the hotel is well kept, nicely decorated, and the staff are all eager to provide you with the best possible service. Unfortunately, our room did not match the atmosphere of the primary floor. During the entirety of our stay our room had a strong sulfur smell that was very intense when you entered the room. The walls of the room were scuffed and the bathroom had clear signs of water damage. These details took away from our experience staying here because they did not meet our expectations, given the impression that is made when one enters the premises.

The Casa Mathilda is truly an authentic bed and breakfast in the heart of Barcelona. While we were initially surprised about the feel of this bed and breakfast in comparison to the other hotels on our trip, we quickly were able to feel at home! The staff at Casa Mathilda is welcoming and friendly. They were able to help us get our bearings in Barcelona. The eco-friendly vibe of the bed and breakfast is also very welcomed, given the damage that the tourist industry can do to a city. When staying at Casa Mathilda, guests are able to make use of the common spaces that include a terrace, sitting area, and kitchenette- at all hours of the day!

The boat trip on the Douro River was a fun way to see the city of Porto! This ride gave us the chance to Porto from the water. The overhead narrations of the sites we were seeing were informative. Overall, this was an activity that we could have done without- while the narrations were informative it was easy to lose focus because the narrations were given in four different languages. There were instances where the narration in English took place after we passed the intended view.

We had a great time touring the Ferreira Winery! Our guide was very clear in his explanations of the history and practices of Ferreira!

Our tour guide gave us an in-depth tour of Madrid's most important sites! We loved the two and a half hours we got to spend with her. Without this tour we would not have learned as much as we did about the amazing history of Madrid!

This wine tasting was the highlight of our trip! We were welcomed into the wine store and were truly given a once in a lifetime experience to learn about Spanish culture and wine!

We had an amazing time touring Barcelona's Gothic Quarter on our private tour. We were able to learn way more about Barcelona than we ever would have on our own!

This was a such a unique way to learn about the ancient city of Toledo! Daniel, our tour guide, was informative and fun to be around while we traveled in and around Toledo by E-Bike!

I wish I had better things to say about our lunch at La Bola. The staff at the restaurant were visibly annoyed that we arrived at our reservation time of 1 PM because this is also the time that they open. While I understand that this is difficult for them, that was out of our control as we did not choose the time. The staff was difficult to communicate with as they were very short of patience and clearly not happy to have us there.

My wife and I spent 8 days in 3 different Greek locations, and this hotel was far and away the best. The staff was incredible, location was superb, and the food and drinks were great as well. We will definitely be staying if we ever visit Mykonos again (Shout out to the pool bar for being one of the best hangouts on the island)

Well located, great staff, phenomenal breakfast, and unbeatable view from the rooftop bar

Amazing views, great breakfast, good location

Amazing sights, great tour guide, very unique

Amazing sights, phenomenal tour guide -best of the trip- and great sailing staff. Some choppy waters but made the ride all the more fun. Would definitely recommend

Unbelievable sights, fantastic staff, great swimming, awesome food, and second to none view of the sunset

They were very accommodating for every request. The coffee and breakfast were excellent and the AC was great.

Amazing location right on the edge of Stanely Park! The hotel is very old and the rooms are a little dated, but the location and price are worth it! Also, most of the front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating.

We were booked on the wrong tour in the wrong city. We weren't able to go on this tour.

We enjoyed our stay at Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel. The room was comfortable and we appreciated the black out shades. The breakfast was lovely as well as the staff. Would stay there again.

This hotel was fine. The room was very bare bones. They did not have a closet and had 3 hangers hanging from a curtain rod. The black out curtains did do the job. Most cabins were close to their parking spot, but unfortunately, ours was not. If it had not been raining/pouring, it would not have been such a big deal. the breakfast was ok. It was nice to have a restaurant on the premises as there was not a lot nearby.

This hotel was very well located, with friendly and accommodating staff. They even let us leave our car in the parking lot while we walked around Reykjavik after our checkout time. The room was very comfortable with good blackout shades. The breakfast was great with lovely servers.

The room was fine and close to the airport which was what we were looking for. However, when we checked in the front desk clerk was on the phone and just pointed to a room key. There were 3 keys there and we just picked up ours without any assistance at all from the desk clerk. We just needed a stay close to the airport and it did the job.

Definitely enjoyed the Lava Tunnel Tour and would recommend it for others. Our guide was also terrific!

Leon loved this very unique experience! Unlike anything else he has ever done.

Very unfortunately, we did not get to do the Zodiac boat tour as it was cancelled due to high winds and rain. What a disappointment! I had to put a star to continue, but obviously, not having done the boat tour, it is not valid.

The Katla Ice Cave Tour was amazing! An experience that you will never have anywhere else. The colors of the ice and just being in an ice cave is like no other. .

Quaint hotel, great location. Friendly staff and nice breakfasts. The rooms did not have windows, but that made it interesting because of its history. I didn't feel the comforters and blankets were cleaned and our room was very very mildewy, thus I removed some stars.

Great staff, beautiful surroundings and wonderful rooms! Meals were great and the activities were fun. Highly recommend!

Sleek, modern rooms, great service and staff, great breakfast.

You can’t really beat a 3 hr walk with a local.

A little less interesting than other fjord tours, given the length of it( 3+ hrs). Canned commentary on the boat. The outdoor deck was small compared to the number of people jockeying to take picture, get close but the boat was only about 75% full.

Despite consistent rain, the equipment keeps you dry, though one can feel overheated from the various layers. Guide / driver had lots of personality. Nice balance of humor and information. Concerned with our comfort, etc.

Didn’t expect to enjoy this much — expected it to be more sales pitchy/ “exit through the gift shop” experience, but was pleasantly surprised. Guide is the 3rd generation cider-master so there’s of wealth of knowledge and familiarity that he brings that’s beyond that given by a guide.

Our cooking class was a true highlight of our trip. It was fun, interesting and a great way to explore the Greek culture and cuisine.

Delos was an interesting and educational experience. Paired with a few hours in Mykonos the day was filled with diverse activities. It was a true highlight of our trip.

We love food walking tours because the guides take you to off the beaten path locations and share lots of interesting history. It's a fun way to explore the culture and try new things.
