Good itinerary but wished we had more days in Slovenia.
Anonymous | Traveled in July
Good variety of locations to showcase beautiful and picturesque scenery.
Annette C. | Traveled in July
The places we visited were lovely and/or very meaningful to me. My father and grandfather were US army veterans and while they were not part of the D Day invasion, visiting Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery touched me very deeply. I also enjoyed Rouen and Honfleur and wish we could have spent more time there.
The F. | Traveled in July
This was a fun short trip around Ireland with lovely stops in Waterford, Kilarney, Dingle, and other spots. We also enjoyed the magnificent views of Dingle Peninsula and the Irish countryside. We were disappointed by the fog at the Cliffs of Moher, but that's just nature. The hotels were all comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed the hotel bars after a day of touring. The optional experiences in the evening were great. They offered tasty traditional meals with enough variety in the venue to be memorable: a traditional farmhouse, a pub with live music and dance, and a late-medieval castle/manor house with a fun period "in-character" performance with music and a fun little story about an audience member (my son in this case, hah) breaking the rules and needing to perform to avoid the dungeon. We saw a lot and were not too rushed. Overall a great trip.
