A Tour of La Tour

Advantages: Great views, beautiful at night
Disadvantages: Not good if you're frightened of heights, there are better views of the city,

...around a corner and the Tour Eiffel stood majestically before him. Ah oui... Histoire de la Tour Eiffel There's something magical about the Tour Eiffel. It's become the symbol of Paris, the symbol of France itself, and yet it was never meant to stand for more than a year. It was originally supposed to be erected in Barcelona, but plans designed by Gustave Eiffel were rejected. Construction finally began in Paris, where the tower was to create an entrance archway for the Exposition Universelle in 1889. 120 years later...and the Eiffel Tower continues to stand the test of time, despite being branded an eyesore by many of the great French names of the day. One of its greatest critics was Guy de Maupassant, the French writer who allegedly dined at one of the Eiffel Tower's restaurant every day as it was the only place in Paris where he...

Review of Tour Eiffel, Paris

taking the tour

Advantages: accessories, ease of use, price
Disadvantages: for some the size might be a put-off

...has a clock and temperature reader. At any point in my journey I can just look down and check the time or when standing outside the school I can know just who cold it is! The wheels turn easily and smoothly. It used to be that some 4-wheel buggies were hard to navigate but this one has no trouble turning a corner. Just to give you an idea I was in town today with my usual Starbucks in one hand and piloting the buggy with the other. I purchased my Graco travel system from Babies R Us for £260 and there was a promotion to get the £100 accessories pack free. There are various Quattro Tour systems and at very different prices. I think the cheapest of which is around £150. The accessories pack made it so I had the buggy itself, the car seat, one car base, changing bag, foot cosy, carrycot attachment, and rain cover. Was a great deal and I saw...

Grand Tour of LA!

Advantages: get to see lots in short space of time
Disadvantages: don't get much time in each place

...VIP Tours of California - Grand Tour of Los Angeles On my way home from my GAP year away my husband and I decided to stop in LA. We stayed in a Holliday Inn hotel near LAX, once we arrived here we found a brochure on VIP Tours and decided to go on what they call the most popular tour which was called the 'Grand Tour of Los Angeles'. It cost in American dollars $59 (adult) and $40 (child). One American dollar is roughly equal to roughly 0.6 United Kingdom Pounds. It was very easy to book this tour with the representative in our hotel for the next day. We had a few different times we could have chosen to go on out tour. On the morning of the tour a bus lifted us at the hotel and took us to their offices so we could pay for the tour and change buses to start the tour. This annoyed me slightly as I felt that we were wasting my...

A True Magical Mystery Tour!

Advantages: Some good visual aids, fab music and mildly comical
Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish that is hard to ignore...

...THE BEATLES: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR WHERE THIS FITS INTO MY BEATLEMANIA MONTH OF MAY: Possibly the greatest failure of the bands career?! (Please note that this is a 'Film Only' review, hopefully displayed in the right section!) It is pretty fair to say that up and until the December of 1967, everything the Beatles touched turned to gold; they'd had over ten number one singles in the UK and albums to add to their resumes with two pretty comical yet critically acclaimed movies. 'A Hard Days Night' and 'Help!' may seem as if they lack plot and depth but in essence what held them together was undeniably the bands music and obvious dry, witty sense of humour. Yet, I don't think anybody was quite prepared for the bands third movie release. 'Magical Mystery Tour', broadcast for the first time on television on Boxing Day 1967, was...

Was 'satisfaction guaranteed' on this Magical Mystery Tour?

Advantages: A brief insight into the home city of the Fab Four
Disadvantages: A little rushed; it wasn't as interesting or as inviting as I was hoping it would be

...?When a man ? or woman ? buys a ticket for the Magical Mystery Tour, they know what to expect; we guarantee them a trip of a lifetime, and that?s what they get ? the incredible Magical Mystery Tour!? Indeed, you should have an idea what to expect when you sign up for the Magical Mystery Tour; having seen the movie a good couple of times, with zany skits of nonsense pushing the boundaries of surrealism to the very limit, I became rather excitable when I discovered that Liverpool?s tourism industry had manufactured a sightseeing event of the same name. Liverpool?s interpretation of the Magical Mystery Tour offered Beatlemaniacs of all ages the opportunity to ride around on a replica bus from the 1967 film whilst uncovering some of The Beatles deepest, darkest secrets in their home city. Or alternatively, you?ll find out where John...

Quick tour of San Francisco!

Advantages: Got to see alot in a short space of time
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive. Mostly on the bus

...Gray Line San Francisco Sightseeing This Gray Line San Francisco sightseeing tour lasts approximately three and half-hours. It will take you around different sights and areas of interest in San Francisco. They depart daily at 9.15am, 11.15am and 2.15pm. It costs in American dollars $44 (adult), $22 (child) and $42 (seniors over 60). To give you an idea of the current exchange rate 1 United States Dollar is equal to approximately 0.61 British pounds. We booked out tour in out hotel, which included a transfer bus to our tour. The tour started in Fisherman's Wharf, which we drove through seeing the unique little restaurants, which was buzzing with people. Then we drove through Chinatown and the financial district. A short stop at Mission Dolores was next where we stopped for food. It was a Catholic mission church, which you...

Guitar Hero: World Tour - Review

Advantages: Some Very Good Songs and Good New Instruments

Good places to buy this from are Game, Gamestation and also Argos where you can pay back in 6 months if you have a store card. To find the cheapest price you should use a comparison website. ** What is included ** In the full band pack you get; a guitar, a set of drums, a usb microphone (that you can use for other games like BoogieStar for the Wii and Rockband and also to record audio on a computer) and the actual game itself. ** The songs ** This guitar hero contains some famous bands and singers such as Bon Jovie (Livin' on a prayer), Michael Jackson (Beat It), Oasis (Some Might Say), Ozzy Osbourne (Crazy Train) and Linkin Park.

Summer tour

Advantages: lots of interesting extras, good choice of songs
Disadvantages: No mike nesmith

...As live dvds go, this has to be one of my favorites. After 30 years, most bands seem to be considered "past it" but the Monkees prove that's not the case with them - while they might look different, they sound as good as ever and put in a show that would put bands half their age to shame. There's a good mix of tunes from their first hit "Last train to Clarkesville" to the far more recent "That was then, this is now" via other well-known tracks such as "I'm a believer" & "(I'm not your) steppin' stone" as well as a cover of "higher and higher". But it's not just the music - the banter and chemistry onstage is fantastic to watch. Possibly the most noticeable difference between this dvd and the "classic" Monkees is the line-up, while Mike Nesmith toured with them in the UK, when the tour came to the USA (and this DVD was recoded) he...

Tenacious D Tour

Advantages: Hilarious, entertaining and fun
Disadvantages: None for me, although may not be to the tastes of some

...~Background:~ ----------------------- Jack Black and Kyle Gass formed their band, Tenacious D in the late '90s, really gaining popularity in 1999 with the launch of the 'Tenacious D' TV series. Since then, they have released two albums 'Tenacious D' and 'The Pick of Destiny') and a movie ('The Pick of Destiny'), and you would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't at least heard of Tenacious D, and even harder pressed to find someone who doesn't know who Jack Black is. This year's UK Tenacious D tour ended on Tuesday 19th December at Hammersmith Apollo, London, and I was fortunate enough to be there. The tour had seven dates in total, all at fairly large venues - for example, Hammersmith has a seating capacity of 3632 and a standing capacity of 5039, and since the gig was sold out, it seems Tenacious D are more well...

Madonna - The Confessions Tour

Advantages: fantastic performance, good songs
Disadvantages: controversial in places

...In 2006 Madonna beat all of her previous records with the Confessions tour, which sold out in over 60 Cities Worldwide within a matter of minutes. It became the biggest grossing tour ever by a female Artist amassing a staggering $195 million. Despite ticket prices of around £150 a time the demand to see these concerts were phenomenal. It is therefore not too surprising that this tour, or at least a part of it, would appear on DVD format in some form or shape. The Confessions Tour DVD was released in the December of 2006, just in time for Christmas and uses footage filmed largely from Madonna?s Wembley Arena Show on the 16th August 2006, which was actually the day of her 49th Birthday. Throughout her career that spans more than two and a half decades Madonna has never strayed far from controversy. In 1993 we were treated the Girlie...
