The cottages you have selected for your new tour are lovely Urmi.  Another great start to my day.Smile

I would enjoy some feedback from members about the custom tours:

1.  Do you look at the member's tours? 

2.  If so do you select which tours you look at or do you look at them all?

3.  Do you look at the photos full size, thumbnail or slide show?

4.  What do you think would be the optimum length of a tour, if it is too long do you give up looking? If it is too short do you bother to look?

5.  Do you have any suggestions regarding the member's tours?

Thanks so much, looking forward to hearing from you allSmile

Thank you Cathy.I am glad you enjoyed the cottages.I always wish I could have lived in one of them.

Now for your queries.

1.I do look at member's tours.

2.I look at them selectively but I do wish I had the time to look at them all.

3.I look at the photos I really like full size ,others thumbnail.Occasionally I see a slide show.

4.Maybe the ideal length would be 40-50 pictures.

5.Can't think of any suggestions right now.

Hi Cathy

In response to your question I will respond as follows:-

I look at other members tours if a particular subject or topic interests me.  Everyone has a different passion for something whether it be food, wildlife, scenery, certain parts of the country, pretty villages, colours, fairies, anchors etc.  It was your anchor tour that I spotted that lovely anchor fountain.

I enjoy watching a slide show sometimes.

I look at photographs I really like full sized.

Jane

Hi Urmi & Jane, thanks so much for responding to my enquiries.  Your thoughts are duly noted but I do hope there will be a bigger response so that we can optimize the enjoyability(!) of the member's tours.

As you probably will have noticed I have a problem with when to stop adding to the tours because there are so many great pics one can add!!
