Europe Spiritual or religious Trips

One of the most memorable trips with Trafalgar. Love every single destination but Prague will forever remain in my heart as a favorite city. Excellent pace. The Imperial Riding school in Vienna was simply the best hotel I have stayed throughout the whole trip. Dinner at the winery in Budapest was the highlight of the trip and not to be missed. Engaging tour guide and amazing driver. Couldn’t ask for a better experience overall. Thanks Trafalgar

It was excellent with a wonderful tour guide and driver from Trafalgar and just local guides. Well organized great hotel just you wait to see the unbelievable breakfast spreads. If I had to choose one stop it would be Budapest just a wonderful place. Don’t wait book this trip!

I have amazing trip and good People in our tour … is such great experience and thank you to our local tour and to our tour director and our bus driver thank guys so much , I love to learn the history each country definitely will do it again ❤️💕🌏

A lot of optional experiences that required more payments. I think many of these should be included as part of the tour vs being an extra item. I think to sign up for all of them was almost 800 euros per person plus tip which is almost 40% of the original cost of the tour.

Firstly, I will start with a disclaimer I would like to stay in touch with our guide Malina as a friend. While I was walking the Camino she was a true friend to me. She always had best interests of everyone on the tour at heart. I valued her honest council on the walk and will continue to value it through life. My previous review mentioned how much I appreciated the guide and the taxi being there to meet me at the airport. On this occasion neither was there. The guide was out to dinner with the group. The taxi driver left after 1.5 hours. (There was a long delay in collecting our luggage) . Malina left me a whatsapp message which I was unable to access due to no internet connection on my phone. I was able to get an internet connection on a different device and checked the explore itinerary to get the name of the hotel. I then got a taxi to the hotel. When I phoned explore I was told that both the hotel name and address as well as an emergency number are in the final confirmation email. I would highly recommend writing both down before you leave home. I would say the main reason for having a guide is not to point out all the interesting things and the great views but to prevent things going wrong and to deal with them when they do. I successfully walked the Camino last year, ok I had a few blisters but still completed it. It was difficult for me to accept that I would have to do shorter walks this year because of blisters and the heat. But Malina was correct. She took a difficult decision with my best interest at heart to ensure that I not only enjoyed my holiday but also returned home without any health issues. Instead of walking in the heat which was difficult for me I got the opportunity to fully experience the excellent hotels and interesting places on the journey. Which Camino was best I cannot really answer that question. In both cases I was in groups made up of wonderful people with guides who went the extra mile to ensure that everyone had a great holiday. I had two different holidays the first was walking place to place mainly enjoying the journey in the second I had more time to experience the destination. The main thing that both had in common was the camaraderie of the Camino.

The trip will be memorable for many reasons. Our tour leader Lucas is a commendable young man, who knew exactly when and were he was needed and when to relax and let us enjoy our own company. His knowledge of the area and the environment was extensive and he delivered it in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. A special thank you must also go to our two leaders, who hosted the tours in Leon and Santiago. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and made everything funny and not at all dry, which some tours can be. The hotels were of a good standard and a special mention has to made about Hotel Pazo de Sedor. After a very long day it was like an oasis at the end of a very long walk. The building, which is an old manor house, the staff and food were quite brilliant. A special thank you, has to go to my fellow travellers, we were an amazing group which made everything even more special.
