Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica. We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide. Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

DUBLIN CITY GUIDE: You can tell a lot about a country by the statues in its capital city and Dublin is full of writers and Irish nationalists.
As our guide to Dublin shows, Ireland's capital also has some strikingly elegant Georgian architecture and beautiful squares as well as funky shops and cool bars and restaurants.

DUBLIN TOURIST INFORMATION: From Dublin International Airport airport:

Getting around:

Bus Dublin’s bus service is reasonably efficient, cheap and safe. Buses run from around 6am to 11.30pm when the Nitelink service takes over.
On most buses you pay the driver. Fares range from EURO1.05 to around EURO2. You must give the exact money. To get change, get a receipt from the driver and present it plus your ticket at the Dublin bus office at 59 O’Connell Street.
The easiest and probably the cheapest option is the Rambler Ticket which offers unlimited travel on all bus routes including Airlink but excluding Nitelink for one day (EURO 6), three days (EURO 11.50) and seven days (EURO 23). You can buy them at the Dublin Tourism office at the airport or in post offices, hotels and supermarkets in town. For more information visit www.buseireann.ie

Taxi Dublin’s taxis are reasonably cheap and plentiful. They come in all shapes and size but have the licence number on top. Most can be hailed in the street but there are ranks outside the Bank of Ireland and the Gresham Hotel in O’Connell Street amongst other places. Prices start at around EURO8 for a short distance in town. You can also book on T: + 353 (0)1 872 7272.
As always, check that the meter is running when you set off.
