We just got back from the Best of Europe (22 day tour) and it was an amazing experience, but group travel is not for everyone. If you want to meet new people to explore Europe with & can handle being on a schedule - then group travel is for you. If you want to isolate yourself, have trouble with compromise, and are looking to complain about your fellow travelers and the tour guide - then group travel is not for you.
Emma (tour guide) was amazing and reminded professional throughout the tour. She was always willing to answer questions and give a quick history & language lesson about the different cities in Europe. She made the entire trip enjoyable and manageable as she is an excellent communicator.
As for the tour itself, there are a lot of cities and, at times, it's hard to keep them straight - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This tour gives you a good sense of what Europe is like and where one may want to visit again. The local tour guides were very good for the most part

We had a fantastic time on this group tour - so many cool experiences and adventures that we'll never forget! It was great to just pack our suitcase and go! What a treat to have everything arranged in advance - it allowed us to just enjoy it and have fun! There were many things we did that I would not have done if I arranged the trip myself. I highly recommend!

We were anxious at first to travel for 18 days with a group. But the tour was planned so well and Michelle was so professional. She always have a heads up on what to expect, So kids were also prepared their minds for what to expect. The itinerary covered lot of ground but we didn't feel it to be very fast paced too. There was one under par hotel ( the one in Toulous) which we didn't like. The rest of hotels n breakfasts were great. Thank you!
This tour does exactly what is described, amazing sights and experiences across Helsinki and the Baltics, favourites of the tour for me was Gda?sk and Tallinn. Josh, Inga and Kasia were amazing and made the tour smooth and enjoyable with lots of energy to keep us all going on the long journey days.

The tour offered life enriching experiences. The amazing architectural structures in Spain and Portugal blow me away. I liked the pace of the tour not rushing every morning.the included dinners were real authentic Spanish dishes like paella with seafood . Wine tasting was phenomenal. Gustavo as a guide did a great job . Impressed with his energy and restaurant tricks. Optionals were very picturesque and historical. In 15 days I think I've seen more gorgeous places than I ever expected.
My first experience traveling with a guided tour, I'm ready to do it again!!! Matt our tour guide very well knowledge, kind and patient. Bravo Matthew !!!
