Grotto Tour

posted by jelder on 10 December 2010 at 11:27

Speaking to a couple in our hotel, they recommended a grotto tour and I'm glad they did! Sailing around all the rock formations and spotting little beaches and interesting things was such fun, and the caves are amazing too. Just great.

We hired a small fishing boat, fisherman guide included, from the ponte de piedad

Girona and Figueras

posted by bclark on 9 December 2010 at 12:35

My man and I took a tour to Girona and Figueras one day when we were in Barcelona, and we thorougly enjoyed it, as well as the chance to see a bit of the catalan countryside. The jewish quarter walking tour in Girona was fabulous but the Teatre Museu Dali was the highlight of the day without a doubt.

where, when, how, web
Meeting point Ronda Universidad 5, we booked in advance on the interwebs to avoid disappointment/crying/sulks

Tenerife Walking Holiday

posted by wcowher on 7 December 2010 at 10:42

After a bit of sun, but not wanting to just lie on the beach, my wife and I booked a walking holiday in Tenerife, with hotels and car all included. We went for the twin centre one so we saw the east and the west of the island and it was so peaceful and stunning and we felt we really saw the best of the place.

where, when, how, web
we booked online, and the tour started in Guimar

Edinburgh Underground Vaults

posted by djolce on 3 December 2010 at 10:57

My teens are suckers for anything ghost-related so we had to go here, under the South Bridge to see the vaults and see if we could 'feel' anything. I just felt sorry for the handful of people who once called one of the vaults home. Defnintely do the night tour, it's really atmospheric!

where, when, how, web
best to book in advance, meeting point Mercat Cross

Johannesburg Zoo Midnight Tour

posted by bdrennan on 2 December 2010 at 11:31

Totally amazing experience, the zoo is really different at night and because you get a guided tour it's a whole new way to learn about the animals. The giraffe are surprisingly sweet, but the big cats, brrrr, man are they scary! Booking is essential.

where, when, how, web
upper park drive, off the M1 at j13
