    Alcatraz Day Tour and 1-Day City Bus Tour in San Francisco

    5.0 (2)

    Powered by Viator

    San Francisco, CA

    These two high quality tours can be done in the same day - or over more than one day. First, choose a date from the schedule for the Alcatraz prison tour, complete with headset audio (available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish). Either before or after Alcatraz, you can enjoy seeing the city – from the high vantage of the open top vehicle, or sheltered on the street level deck of the bus. Considering how often Alcatraz sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a fantastic way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and take in several other great city attractions.

    French Tour of Kennedy Space Center from Orlando

    Powered by Viator

    Orlando, FL

    Discover the Kennedy Space Center accompanied by a French guide. From Orlando, we will discover one of the most extraordinary attractions in Florida: the Kennedy Space Center, the scenery is just total! And of course, your French guide will accompany you throughout your visit. We wanted to offer a visit to the Kennedy Space Center in French because it’s a unique place and Francophone travelers don’t necessarily think about it at first sight during a stay in Florida. It represents a large part of the history of space exploration but also its future. Cape Canaveral has experienced a new effervescence in recent years under the impetus of new actors such as Space X or Blue Origin, Cape Canaveral is more than ever the global epicenter of space conquest.

    Private Buckskin Gulch Tour

    4.9 (46)

    Powered by Viator

    Kanab, UT

    There are as many metaphors to describe what locals call 'down in the Buckskin' as there are people who have been there. I choose the word 'in' because you are literally inside the walls of the world's longest slot canyon. According to the Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') website, Buckskin Gulch is 16 miles long (around 26 km) from the Buckskin Trailhead to the Paria Canyon and over 500 feet (around 150m) deep at its confluence with the Paria River. There are places in the Buckskin where you are able to touch both canyon walls at the same time. Buckskin Gulch is a photographer's and hiker's Mecca. Every corner you turn is changing continuously; the cliffs are water-and-wind-sculpted patterns of colors, light and shadows. You may also marvel and puzzle at the meanings of the rock writings (petroglyphs) from the early Archaic period (some are as old as 9,000 years). It was voted one the top 10 hikes in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine a few years back.

    Boston has several reasons why we should visit it.

For academics Boston is home to world-class universities like Harvard and MIT, and combines modern skyscrapers with historic cobblestone street neighborhoods like Beacon Hill, Back Bay.
