Anonymous | Traveled in July
The itinerary was thorough- I definitely felt that we visited the most important places in Spain. Our Travel Director did a fabulous job keeping us on track, entertained and informed about all aspects of Spanish culture and history.
Marci J. | Traveled in July
The trip overall was fabulous, but I was heartbroken that we didn't get to do the tour of the Colliseum - one of the main reasons I wanted to go on this tour. The "included" breakfasts were really good. The "included" dinners were subpar, for the most part. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere in Tuscany and at the farewell dinner.
Suzanne R. | Traveled in July
Absolutely loved & recommend the Traditional Europe Tour … Our tour director welcomed us all on the first day. Meeting the rest of our tour guests was relaxed followed by a cruise/dinner that night on the Amsterdam canals . This initial experience was wonderful! A great way to start the tour. Our tour directors knowledge throughout the tour was extensive, his knowledge regarding the history and culture of the places were informative and were highlighted by his vivid story telling, attention to detail allowed us to fully appreciate the places we were visiting. Throughout the whole tour, the local tour guides accompanying us were absolutely wonderful with their story telling and knowledge. There were so many WOW moments on the tour, along with fun & laughter. During the whole tour we experienced top class accommodation which included wonderful breakfasts & fabulous meals. A must do is the optional experiences, you get to see how life is in the countries you are in. Throughout the whole tour we-were made to feel so welcome, the dinners along with music were unique . Our coach driver was a daily delight, his expertise throughout the whole tour was reassuring knowing that he was in charge of our safety and luggage security. I would recommend this trip to all that want to experience a well planned, engaging and a most memorable tour experience.

beautiful trip, wonderful people, and the best tour guide and driver. I did all the excursions but would skip the alpine jewels and lake bohinj. lots of extra time after all the city tours. some times, I felt that there was too much information.

A well organised tour, Fedy knows her stuff nothing was left out we were totally informed as the trip progressed nothing left to chance no accidents and know one was left out we were all treated like family
Dan S. | Traveled in July
the itinerary covers a lot of wonderful places. just be aware that this trip covers a lot of territory. so you are on the go a lot. but it lets you sample so many different parts of France…it allows you to discover places you may want to visit on a longer stay. …i’ll be returning to Bordeaux again soon!
