We choice 'Charms of Manila'. Wish we'd chosen a more adventurous trip. But as a trip for easy access, it was excellent.

Manila

Fantastic. Train, sight seeing, tallest building observation tower, the Bund, walk along the river. Fab!

Very good. Hong Kong Park, is just beautiful. Pray for good weather at the Peak! Managed to get lunch in the market with the Chinese and away from the tourists.
Also went on the 'Evening Harbour Cruise'. Forget it! Such a rip off! Stay on the boat and enjoy the lights from there.

Hong Kong

Not for us. The 'Villages and Countryside' excursion was a farce. Sitting on a coach going around in circles waiting for actors to get into place on a a patch of mud pretending it's a paddy field, is rather ridiculous and 'Ho Chi Minh City on your Own' was rather spoiled as we were told that American Dollars would be accepted...no they are not!!!!  Fortunately we had a credit card with us!

Nha Trang

Loved this tour as it gave us a taste so we could venture out on our own. Very good value for money and a great guide. But then, Singapore is just so beautiful and compact, you really don't need a guide. We're returning to this country!

Fabulous places to visit. Such an informative guide. Loved it, but was glad to get back to the boat, hot, noisy, loud and dusty!!!!! I know, it's a city, but after Singapore!!!!!

One of the highlights (literally!) of our holiday. Finally saw paddy fields and were given a demonstration, brilliant. The trip to the top of Machincang is simply stunning and has to be done. It is a long way up and that's putting it mildly. I don't have a problem with heights or cable cars, but I did close my eyes on the way up on this one!!! Downside, be prepared to wait to go up on the cable cars. We stood in a queue for over an hour and a half! No one found that amusing, believe me!!!!

To be honest, not much to write really. We just chose 'Leisurely Colombo' to be lazy. It was a nice drive around and it was a pretty place.

Mormugao (Goa)

I seem to have written my review for Colombo in Goa!!!! WE loved Goa. The tour gave us a glimpse but as friends keep telling me, Goa is not real India, but I would come back!

Colombo

Desert Safari...EXCELLENT! Such fun, brilliant value for money!
Sundowners....well, hate feeling like a tourist. Maybe venture out on your own.
The FRAME.....Just BRILLIANT!!! Up there as one of our best excursions. Also had a fabulous guide.

Lovely to get on a speed boat and see the beautiful Muscat from the sea. Spotting dolphins was just the icing on the cake!

A long drive through the most amazing dessert scenery that simply takes your breath away with a very pleasant lunch in a Bedouin tent. So not normally me, but I loved it!

My husband did this one on his own as it was going to be too much for me. He rated this as one of his highlights of our World trip and judging by the 600 photos he took, it looks amazing. It is very hot, hours of walking but well worth the effort.

Beautiful island. Fabulous lunch in a restaurant over looking the bay. Perfect! Be warned about walking around in Naples on your own. No that safe! Be very aware.

Naples

No one seems to know this and several of the P&O staff told us that everybody goes to the wrong port!!!!Well, having paid £100 to get to the right port, we did not see the funny side.
