Reviews
Our reviews are intended to provide an honest opinion of our experiences with transportation, accommodations, food, and local attractions to provide our readers with an idea of what to expect from a place or product before they purchase it. However, please note that these reviews are solely representative of our experience and do not guarantee that you will have a similar experience. The level of satisfaction can be dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to time of year, pricing, promotions, employee/representative who you interact with, etc. Most of the reviews found here will be for products/services we recommend, but if you would like to see all of our reviews, please click the links below:

Frequently Asked Questions - Our Reviews
Do you only review places and services you’ve actually experienced?
Yes. Every single review on our blog is based on firsthand experience. Whether it’s a hotel stay, a local restaurant, a train ride, or a Christmas market, we only write about places we’ve personally visited or services we’ve used. If we haven’t done it ourselves, you won’t find it here.
Are your reviews always positive?
Not necessarily. We aim to keep things honest and helpful. Most reviews are for places or services we genuinely recommend, but we’re upfront about what didn’t work for us too. If something felt overpriced, underwhelming, or just not great with kids, we’ll mention it. We want you to feel like you’re getting real advice from a friend—not a brochure.
Do companies pay you to write these reviews?
Occasionally, we may receive a discounted stay or gifted activity—but it’s rare, and we’ll always disclose it. Our goal is to remain transparent, and we never let freebies influence our opinions. If we don’t think it’s worth your time or money, we’ll say so.
Can I trust your family-friendly recommendations?
Absolutely. We travel full-time with our daughter, and family-friendliness is something we notice in every experience. From kid meals and stroller access to playgrounds or bedtime noise levels, we include tips that other traveling families will actually care about.
Why don’t I see reviews of every place you visit?
We only write reviews when we feel like we have something useful to share. If a place was just okay or didn’t stand out, we often skip writing about it. We want our reviews to be worth your time—not filler content.
How are your reviews organized?
We break them down into four main types: Eats (restaurants), Rides (transportation), Stays (accommodations), and Places Misc. (attractions, tours, and locations that don’t fit neatly into the others). You can view all our reviews or filter by type depending on what you’re planning.
Can I request a review of a specific place or service?
We’re open to suggestions! If there’s a restaurant, hotel, or experience you’d love to see covered, feel free to reach out. We can’t promise we’ll get there soon—but it might just land on our radar for a future trip.
