He knew nothing of the church we visited and had never been to the mosque he took us to. We loved the town of Malacca but learned very little from our guide.”

“Viking excursion all day London Experience was sold out so we looked to book a private tour to see as much as possible during the one-day time we had. Glad we did! Our very knowledgeable driver and guide, Lynton, was great taking us to both the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey and many other view points and famous places in between to include a wonderful pub for a great fish and chips. This is the way to go and it costs no more than the optional tour but includes much more...including drop-off and pick-up at the door of every venue. Do it!”
