Tour guide Juanma (Manual) on our Paris day 2 and 3 was very informative and very humorous.
Tour guide Linus who accompanied us to Lyon and Switzerland was also very knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Both guides made our trip very enjoyable.
Overall a great trip. Our guides were wonderful and very helpful. Not all of the hotels were up to standard. The Marina Hotel In Kusadasi was the worst. Very shabby, dirty, and the water was turned off at night The front desk offered no explanation, just that it would be back on at 5:00. The Pasabey Hotel in Marmaris also not very good, and they turned their wifi off at night, until 8 a.m. This is unacceptable. We had trouble with the wifi in all the hotels except in Istanbul. Very difficult for a traveller with no cell phone data. The food set meal in the Hilton, Safranbolu was terrible. Staff were extremely unhelpful, and would not supply small extras such as butter. Very surprising for a Hilton. The itinerary was great - lots of interesting, beautiful and historic sites. Nice to have the ferry and boat rides included during the tour. Could have done without the carpet and leather shops.
For the most part the selected locations were great. The bus were modern and comfortable. I would highly recommend offering smaller group options and/or allowing a group to finish tour together. The constant adding headcount can be difficult as there’s a culture adjustment between groups. At one point I felt crowded. Also, company should consider utilizing hotels within main cities to allow tourists to visit nearby restaurants. All of our hotels were 20/40 minutes from major cities forcing us to eat at the hotel.

We simply loved our Tour Manager Maria Navarro. She was extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share his knowledge and generously answered all of our questions. Quite simply, she was excellent in every way and made our visit to this fascinating country a vastly richer experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
The hotels in Madrid (praga) and Seville (alcora) were very bad. There was bad air conditioning..was hot in the room. We complained but nothing was done by hotel. The wi fi was only working on the common area..no connection in the room. Hotel prga breakfast was also quote bad and so was alcora. These are hotels that cater to large groups and that takes away from the comfort and experience of the trip. This was the only criticism of the their trip. Bad hotels provided.
The itinerary was great. We enjoyed the places we visited most especially Kitzbuhel. I also enjoyed the visit to the Swarovski museum. I wish we had more time in all the places we visited, but I look at this as a good reconnaissance for our next vacation back to Europe.
