East Africa Sightseeing Trips

This was a trip of a lifetime. There is almost nothing I would change. The tour director and the bus driver were great. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a broad overview of the Scottish Highlands in less than two weeks. The only negative I have is one of the people on the tour managed to get almost half of all the others sick by spreading germs on the close quarter tour bus.

This trip encapsulates all of the amazing beauty of the Greek islands!! Amazing experiences and great friends made on the way. Amazing knowledge and experiences offered to us as well! Organisation and planning made our trip effortless.

My wife and I went on the 12-day Country Roads of Scandinavia tour across Norway and Denmark, with additional hotel stays before and after the tour. We were joined by a group of friendly, like-minded travellers who were keen to enjoy the less travelled countryside. Visits to Oslo, Bergen and Copenhagen showcased the excitement typical of cities. We enjoyed the Neoclassical architecture of historical buildings, churches and palaces as much as the modern-day lifestyle facilities. There were delightful moments, adding value to the tour like icing on a cake, when we chatted with locals while dining in restaurants or walking along the street. As we are city dwellers in Singapore, we were awed by the spectacular sceneries when we travelled away from the cities to the countryside and visited some of the loveliest small towns and picturesque villages. Here, postcard-perfect painted restaurants and cozy cafes lined cobblestone walkways, a scene enhanced by the rain we encountered. Nature abounds with the majesty of snow-capped Hardangervidda Plateau and frozen fjords; scenic cruises on placid and misty fjords that are flanked by rocky mountains and cascading waterfalls; train ride on Flam Railway that carves its way from sea level up to 1000m across mountains and valleys; awesome Preikestolen and Lysefjord, and so many other memorable places. The late sunset meant that we had more time after dinner to explore the surroundings. Particularly in Ulvik, the serene Hardangerfjord as night falls was truly mesmerising. Much thanks to our travel director "P" who braved rain to confirm dinner arrangement and walked to the ferry terminal in the early morning to collect our boarding tickets. His daily reminder "isn't it great to be alive" resonated with the group as we embarked on our travel each morning. His commentaries added depth to the places we visited, and landmarks we passed during the coach ride. Our gratitude is also extended to our coach driver "R" who kept us safe on the road so that we were able to soak in the scenery or catch a nap. His professionalism and driving skills navigated single-lane winding mountain roads with care and ease. Some of the hotels in smaller towns are not as well appointed or conveniently located as those in major cities. Notwithstanding, they are generally ok. Other than the farewell dinner, the other dinners were provided with a single glass of wine or beer or juice, regardless of its cost value. Perhaps, this can be improved. Considering that food and wine feed the body for a day while nature and scenery feed the mind for a lifetime, it was a fantastic tour!

Trafalgar's Central European tour was as good as it gets. From the tour director to the Bus driver and the excellent accommodation options nothing was missed. The tour director did not miss a trick and made sure that every traveller had their requirements met or exceeded. This is my third trip with Trafalgar and they just seem to get better.

A tour well balanced between transportation and activities and price/value. Good choice of the must see on the countries visited. Overall good choice of hotel´s locations with a chance to enjoy extra features in the free time. Iris is a very good guide in the way that explains a particular society interrelated on what it was former Yugoslavia.

The hotel was perfectly situated for the trip, the rooms lovely and staff were great. I thoroughly enjoyed the hiking. The guide was knowledgable about the area. We did have some friction in the group as we didn’t stick to the itinerary to the letter which upset some. I would recommend this trip to anyone, I loved it.
