“Carlos cancelled on me 3 hours before the tour, and then didn't refund me. Disputing charge with CC He left a voicemail saying it was overbooked, asking to reschedule, and if not then we would get reimbursed. I booked this 6 months prior, & could not reschedule as we were leaving the next day. When I called Carlos back, he did not respond. Nor did he respond to my text messages. I called from a different phone number minutes later, and he then picked up. He had a myriad of different excuses- blaming it on a former secretary, not knowing the system, saying there were no horses. We ended up…”

4.Slow Horses TV Series Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 2 hours · from $28Best value

Join Susannah on a two-hour walk through London’s atmospheric City streets, visiting the exterior of Slough House and other Slow Horses locations. Expect show and book insights, London history, photo stops, and a relaxed pace in English.

“I did this a while ago and thought I’d already posted! A brilliant tour. Having finished off the novels and seen the most recent TV adaptation since, I can honestly say it has enhanced my enjoyment of Herron’s work, of the adaptation process, and given insight into this side of this corner of London. Guide extremely knowledgeable, considerate (she let me borrow her umbrella. Mine turned out to be useless!) and entertaining. Some in our party had seen or read bits of Slow Horses, some were utter fanboys like me (photo ops abound!) and some just wanted to see a bit of London from a different angle. Nobody was disappointed!…”

5.Love is in the air: Private Cabo Beach Sunset Horse Ride W Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $252

Ride a well-trained horse through Migrino’s desert and along a secluded Pacific beach with a private guide such as Gabriel or Emmanuel. Finish with sunset fajitas, drinks, and dessert at a private beach table. Hotel pickup, transportation, and the $25 government fee are included.

“This experience was absolutely amazing and breathtaking. My husband and I did this on our honeymoon and it was a perfect, romantic evening! The sunset was incredible, dinner was a very basic beef fajita, but was still delicious & very much enjoyed. We bought the photo package, which I feel was slightly overpriced at $140 (plus fees and tip was $190). They turned out great and I’m glad I bought them, but it was a little much. For the memories, I guess! Overall, a wonderful experience and would recommend to everyone!”
