Balkans Shopping and Markets Trips

I've worked in the adventure tourism industry for three decades and know a little bit about the industry. This itinerary was absolutely spot on and suited everyone in the group. Our guide was however the reason the trip was so fantastic. Joao Camara's was born in Funchal and his local knowledge regarding the islands geography, fauna, history etc was amazing. Having worked in tourism in other countries his professional, informative and amusing approach was brilliant. I will definitely be back in Madeira that's for sure

Well organised, thoughtfully managed, great days out walking and seeing all around the island. We had fantastic weather, could hike every day, and through our guide Joao, Madeiran born and proud of his home, learnt about the history, flora and fauna of Madeira. Everything from hotels, transport, daily itinerary, food and meals in the evening made the experience fun and memorable. I’ll be going back in the Spring when the wildflowers bloom. Very good value and an excellent hiking trip.

Loved every minute of it! It certainly is full on, but worth it! Our tour guide was exceptional and made the experience even more memorable. Met some lovely people, made lots of memories which we shall cherish for a long time.

I believe we saw just about everything that defines Italy as a perennial dynasty with civilization evolving to what it is today and thousands of years old structures still dominating the landscape. Beyond belief, amazing! And as always, Trafalgar had some unexpected, grand and absolutely pleasing side jaunts to put our vacation over the top. Your travel Directors and Drivers are top notch.

Time at Pisa was a bit rushed but I understand it's a matter of timing with the local guide. ************* is top notch! Well organized and worked hard to keep group activities on schedule despite a couple of unavoidable disruptions (one being that the Pope had a special event the morning we were to visit St Peters, but Gordon and the local guide got us there that afternoon anyway). Most importantly, Gordon is sincere. His dedication to do a great job shows through. We'd book a tour with him in future if at all possible.

excellent tour and our guide did an outstanding job. Our Coach driver never missed a beat, luggage and transportation to and from hotels and tours was seamless.
