Elaine S. | Traveled in May
The itinerary was good. Some early starts but they were needed to fit everything in. The tour was excellent. Well paced. Plenty of rest stops when travelling. My sister and I had a fabulous time, really enjoyed it.
Thomas D. | Traveled in May
We had a great European trip years ago, so we decided to try Trafalgar here in the states. LOVED IT. Our guide was not only very knowledgeable, he was purposefully attentive. Our time was cut short due an emergency on our part at the end, but we had a great experience, and will schedule another. We thank you so much for every moment.
Kenneth V. | Traveled in May
Our tour guide utilized every opportunity and minute to give us historical information and "get another site" in. He gave us information about the museum and area and which portions he found most interesting- thus making it easier for us to "pick and choose".
