The itinerary was very historic and authentic Ireland, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and we just enjoyed the trip tremendously from both the beauty we saw and the authenticity of Irish history that we were presented
Nola F. | Traveled in July
This itinerary was wonderful. It included everything we were hoping to see and experience, with enough time to explore and absorb the locale. The time in the coach was also very interesting allowing us to have a good view of the urban areas and countryside. Starting in Rome was a highlight also a really great way to begin the history and significance of our journey. Everywhere we went was meaningful and concluding in Venice was amazing. Well done !!

Danielle M. | Traveled in July
This tour was breathtaking! Everything was amazing. The history that our tour guide Ben provided was so interesting . Going onto a Glacier was unbelievable. In Glacier National Park going up to the sun road was just beautiful the views were spectacular. I would go back again.
Diana C. | Traveled in July
Great itinerary covering all the important sites in Egypt for those interested in Egyptology and history and geography. The tour guides were full of information and knew their history- all the Pharaohs and details of their families and era of their reign. Taught us the basics or reading hieroglyphics. The cruise up the Nile River was amazing in a wonderful river boat with great services to look after us all the way.
Marita L. | Traveled in July
We saw so many interesting and beautiful places. The couch was very comfortable with lots of stops. There was an excellent mix of scheduled sights and time for us to explore on our own. We looked forward to each day and ended the day happy and very glad we chose this trip and this company.
