Review of Seoul’s Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm, and Gangchon Rail Bike day trip, with honest tips on timing, value, crowds, and lunch.
“Great trip, although quite long at 12 hours. It was a large coach but as you visited the garden and Nami island unguided it was fine. The garden was stunning and the highlight of the day. I wouldn't class Nami island as a must do but it was nice, very Korean and the right size to walk around and look at everything easily in 3 hours. Didn't think i was going to like the rail bike as so many in a long line but it was actually quite good (cycling was not difficult and only 6km track) and better than i expected with a few little surprises along the way.…”

Visit a family-run tulip farm, cruise past Dutch windmills, and explore Keukenhof on a well-organized day trip from Amsterdam.
“From first entering the tour office till the end of the day this tour was relaxed, friendly, informative and at the end, flexible. I am not a great fan of organised tours but this one surprised me. All aspects from the canal ride to the great visit to the tulip farm and finishing up with Keukenhof gardens was a delight. Being a bit older the flexibility to leave by bus when it suited us was a great end to a great day.”
Review the Vancouver to Victoria seaplane day trip, including Butchart Gardens, flight views, timing, cost, transport, and practical booking tips.
“We thoroughly enjoyed both the seaplane and the Butchart Gatdens. And we had picture perfect weather. The only “snag” was that we were back in town by 3:00 and our plane didn’t leave until 6:00. And because we booked through Viator we were not allowed to change flights.”

Review of the Avignon lavender tour to Roussillon, Goult, Gordes, and Sénanque Abbey, with practical tips on timing, value, guides, and stops.
“This was a wonderful tour. One of the fields was beautifully in bloom, However the lavender was not in bloom at the abbey. I think the tour guide should give the option of not going to the abbey, if not in bloom. The only reason to go to the abbey is for the Lavender view. An option of staying longer in the hilltown of Rousillion would have made the tour perfect. Rousillion was magical and we did not have nearly enough time there. I am so glad I booked this tour and would recommend.”
Review of Vancouver to Victoria by seaplane, including Butchart Gardens, coach transport, free time, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This is a great alternative to a bus tour, a lot more convenient. The transportation is great, on time and the terminal has all the facilities you need both in Vancouver and Victoria.”
