Enjoyed the video the museum looked very interesting

We enjoyed today's video on Greece. We'll be cruising there this summer.

Thanks for taking us along. We were there last summer/fall. Your videos are better. But I’m not in any of them😊

Sailed on her in the year 2000, And since.. Lovely Ship,, But my favourite at the time was the Oriana,, i believe it's now called Piano Land.... Lovely memories 😊....

Thank you for taking us on a tour through Time at Troy, it was truly amazing to see the different layers of settlements over time. Ephesus is on my bucket list places to visit but after seeing this, I feel the need to see it in person. I don't think you can't truly capture the experience of being there u till you've been there. Well done Bob and holly

I remember the old cruise terminal at Istanbul (from 2013 - not that long ago). The new one is an amazing improvement. That year, we also saw whirling dervishes, performing in their own venue (a bus took us there). We weren't allowed to film - there were maybe twelve of them rotating in unison.

I read the Iliad in school (a hundred years ago) - it was quite moving to see your footage of Troy. I don't think I'll ever get there myself but I get to see it through modern technology and your efforts. Liked your music choice for your footage on Kusadasi. I just got off the Queen Mary 2 - we'll have to agree to disagree on which line has the best afternoon tea. For overall elegance and sense of occasion, my vote is Cunard all the way, though I will admit that Seabourn served some delicious and unique goodies during its tea service. I'd put Viking after those two.

Totally agree with the " Formal Night" policy. If it's published as so, then you either dress accordingly or eat in the buffet. It is a dying tradition unfortunately

Nice work as usual Bob. Thank you!

Thanks Bob for showing us some of the ancient world 😊. Hope and Holly have a Happy New Year🎉

First

Hi , Thanks for sharing .. can you confirm if this is a suite ? Looks like a big balcony .. Thank you

Thank you Bob and Holly. I thoroughly enjoyed your insights into Viking cruising and the content of this video (as I do for all your postings). Many thanks again. Maryann from Melbourne

I so looking forward to this cruise series. I'm totally blown away by the port in Istanbul. It's truly beautiful and a photographer dream place to shot. I think that shopping mall the bees knees of shopping malls.

What a fantastic way to start your cruise with a day in Istanbul, visiting such beautiful places.

Thank you for the video. We've booked a trip on the Seabourn Sojourn for Christmas 2025 and are excited to compare it to our experiences on Regent Grandeur and Silversea Shadow, both of which were fantastic in their own ways.

Viking ships look really nice. I really like the "no kids" policy. Those dancers were amazing.

Thank you for this great video. Well recorded and edited. May I ask, what type of video camera were you using?

Loved the episode 2 for Istanbul and you descibed Viking correctly, not super exciting, butm do absolutely everyting right. I always love seeing the ship in your videos because it is so familiar. We will be doing our 7th Viking cruise this coming July in Iceland, Greenland and Canada; really looking forward to it.

Great video, Bob, as always. We were in Istanbul in September on our Oceania Vista cruise and it is a really busy and amazing place to visit. We had the same reaction to the Grand Bazaar, somewhat overwhelming, but, very interesting.

Great video. If I were to unplug one of bedside lamps what type of plug would I find? Thanks!

Great photography, always up to your high standards. We've been to Istanbul - covered some of the same ground, but never made it to the great Cistern, so nice to see footage of that. We were in Istanbul long enough ago that Hagia Sophia was still a museum - I was curious to see if it had changed - other than the head covering requirement, it didn't appear that it had. For example, the mosaics of Virgin Mary and infant Jesus (with his cross!) aren't covered or curtained off, as I thought they might be, now that the building is a mosque. (The Catholic clergy of 15th C. Cordoba weren't as ecumenically tolerant when they converted that city's mosque into a church.) Looking forward to the next videos in your series.

Great episode Bob & Holly! You must have visited really early, there wasn’t much of a crowd. I like the different filming angle from above. When I visited we were in the bottom and I was in awe. Actually got tears in my eyes. Very beautiful mosque. I also loved visiting the Grand Bazaar! My friend was overwhelmed with all the people and how they were trying to get you to visit their shop. But I loved it all 😅Trying to make a second trip 🤞🏼 Looking forward to this new series! Congrats on the channel growth 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your video and research were a lot better than mine. We were just there. Well done. Can’t wait for the next installment to see what we missed😊

Great shots!

Would be interesting to see what you make of the way we speak, our accents and some of the phrases and sayings we use in Northern Ireland or “Norn Iron” as we would say. 😂

Watching on catchup. Another super video as usual. Ironically we are currently watching the dramatization of 10 Rillington Place on Britbox over 3 episodes. Well worth a watch.

What a wonderful two days. Did you do this on turnaround between cruises? Osborne House was stunning!

Beautiful ship tour, Viking Jupiter is stunning. The background of Istanbul just added something extra 👏 My interest peaked when you mentioned Viking do the best afternoon teas at sea - I hope we get to see some of that in future episodes 😍

Looks like a nice ship

Amazing ship and I love the decor of Viking ships, thanks !

What a gorgeous ship. I haven't cruised Viking yet, but they're on my list - absolutely beautiful! Also, great tour, and hope you're both well!

Great ship tour . Well done can’t wait to see the rest of the series. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving 🦃 😊

Gorgeous video, Bob, I always feel so much at home looking at a Viking Ocean ship, they are just perfect. I first saw one of the planetariums on the Viking Orion when we did the Australia New Zealand cruise. It was so cool and we had about three different sessions there with an on board astromomer. Our next Viking cruise is this next summer and it is Iceland, Greenland and Canada.

I love your channel, but I think a lot of people in the UK find Eurostar (especially the London-Paris route) a bit of a rip-off. Americans love the idea of travelling through the Channel Tunnel, but it’s no big deal for us Brits. 😊The prices, even in Standard class (it appears you travelled in either Plus or Select class), are much more expensive than other European trains. The food from the cafe/bar is pretty bad. The seating is cramped. However, it’s convenient, especially if you are travelling from/to central London or Paris. I checked the one-way fares for Wednesday 4 December 2024 on the 9.31am from London to Paris: £126 in Standard, £270 in Plus and £345 in Premier. By comparison, the lowest price fare from Paris to Marseille on the 9.38 TGV on the same day was 49 euros (and the TGV is a much nicer train!).

Nothing better than relishing the beginning of another vlog series from Bob and Holly. Excellent first episode. The music selection for the U boat tour was amazing. Your ability to match music to excursions is unbelievable. Thanks again for taking us along!

Fantastic video. Love ld seeing the Eurostar in action. Thanks for showing us 😊

Took the Chunnel to Paris right after it opened. Today it’s no big deal. Then, it was a special experience. Thank you for sharing.

Visited Rotterdam in 2017 - nice to see your footage of the train station. A question about the Eurostar - is there room to store a big suitcase - in the passenger cars? or in a baggage car?

Very interesting to see especially for Lindsey

Love the Eurostar service, very comfortable and quick and love St Pancras station, beautiful architecture, historic and modern sculptures. Rotterdam Central looks massive from outside- another great video 👏😍

Good to know there are also busses and trams available from the station. do like this vlog since I am looking to book this. Goof to know the underwater part ia not that long.

Hi. We took a TVG from Luxembourg to Paris. Great🚆

What a great 2 days you had, we love visiting the Isle of Wight, it’s a much slower pace of life than the mainland with beautiful coastal & countryside scenery. Thanks for showing us around some new places we haven’t visited. Osbourne House is very grand but the donkeys definitely stole the show ❤

Loved Pachelbel.

Fascinating videos in an area I know nothing about. Sing it through your eyes is the next best thing to being there. As always, thank you for an outstanding job.

Sorry for the late commenting on your video. I've been busy at work. Loved the donkey sanctuary but loved even better when the rolled in the dirt after your groomed them 🤣 Osborne castle.. simply stunning
