Our trip to Macau was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Ruins of St. Paul's was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Macau Museum alone was worth the trip, but combined with The Venetian Macao gondola ride this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a group trip and it was well paced. Ruins of St. Paul's in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond House of Dancing Water show and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
