Europe Getaways and short breaks Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Getaways and short breaks Europe tours
Jack S | Traveled in February
Very historical. This was a great taster for Istanbul and left me wanting to see more of the country. I love city breaks and my budget and general pace nowadays tends to cater more for them than the bigger adventures as I have done before, so I wonder if G adventures could develop more city breaks getaways similar to this!
Sarah Walker | Traveled in September
This was a very enjoyable trip with an exerienced Guide. Eleni really made us live the Ancient Times through her excellent knowledge, educational activities and lovely personnality. The sites we visited were amazing, the 3 star hotels were of a good standard and well located. I highly recommend this trip.
Susan | Traveled in August
Istanbul is a beautiful city, and the mini adventure was a perfect amount of time to see the highlights. A great way to start a longer tour in TA¼rkiye or to whet your appetite for a return trip!
Paula Termuhlen | Traveled in February
Packed into 4 days was a wonderful trip that captured the essence of ancient Greece outside of Athens. Being able to see the site of the first Olympics and to learn about the Oracle at Delphi were highlights!
Alfred Cantu | Traveled in June
This tour was so much more than I expected. The hotels were great especially the Villa Gale in Lagos. We had busy days and saw so much. There were only a few of us on my tour so Fernando, our driver, and Miguel, our guide, were flexible about doing independent things plus the regular tour. They were always willing to help and very sociable. I found Portugal to be a hidden gem and would love to return to spend more time in some areas.
Phillip Duncan | Traveled in March
Perfect tour for a city trip to Madrid. The hotel is very centrally located, so you can walk to all major sights within 30 minutes. The included bus ticket also gives you the opportunity to see Madrid from a wider area. Pick-up from the airport worked great.
