Review the Dubrovnik Elaphite Islands cruise, with Lopud, Sipan, Kolocep, lunch, drinks, swimming, pickup, and practical booking tips.
“Amazing experience! Sat on the top deck with my family (group of 6) & had the best time with Emily as our guide! Started the morning off with some traditional shots & made our way through the beautiful islands. The open bar (white wine & local liquor) was just enough to keep the party going & the lunch was more than enough food! We had an amazing time & will recommend to all my friends & family visiting Dubrovnik!”

Review of Porto’s Douro Valley day trip with winery lunch, six tastings, river cruise, Amarante stop, and scenic N222 drive.
“We really enjoyed the trip, however the bus ride was long and it would have been more comfortable with only 2 people in a row, as the middle row person could not enjoy the beautiful views from the bus. My daughter and I had a very good time seeing all the wonderful stops. The tours at the wineries were very informative and the food was excellent. The wines at both vineyards was exceptional. Our driver was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour. 5starts.”
Review the Dubrovnik Elaphiti Islands cruise, with lunch, wine, hotel pickup, three island stops, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“We had a wonderful day on this 3 island cruise! The crew was very accommodating and friendly, the lunch was delicious (we had the fish and chicken - each served with cabbage slaw and cucumbers and wine or soda), and the boat was very comfortable and well maintained. We felt that we had the perfect amount of time to explore each island. The views while sailing were gorgeous! We would highly recommend!”

Review of Porto’s Douro Valley day tour with Amarante, scenic viewpoints, lunch, Rabelo boat cruise, and three-wine tasting.
“I think this day trip is very good if you only want to go to one winery (three tastings) versus three wineries and don't feel confident driving yourself or hiring a personal driver / tour guide (where you could customise your trip and visit more townships etc). Be aware the cruise requires you to download an app and listen to an audio recording. It would be helpful if the link to the app / recording was sent to participants before the tour commenced (in the confirmartion email) and suggest bringing your own headphones. I did not enjoy having the tour guide speak in two languages (e.g. French then English or…”

Review of a two-hour Seine lunch cruise from the Eiffel Tower, with a three-course meal, drinks, landmark views, and practical tips.
