Eastern Europe Art and architecture Trips

Tour is very busy if you do all the optional tours. Expect a lot of daily walking. There are lots of stairs - especially at Mont St Michel. At Chateau de la Bourdaisiere, not everyone stays in the Chateau, some stay in the stables. Deauville Hotel included meal was not nice , dry, reconstituted veal. Welcome dinner and farewell dinner of both tours is on the same day. If going to see Aiguille de Midi at Chamonix book tickets on the website in advance as tickets were sold out. I had previously been there before, so was not too disappointed.

Our driver(Paul) and tour director (Mark) were both very skilled in their roles, with patience, safety and courtesy uppermost in their dealings with the people on our tour. Our welfare was their concern. A busy itinerary but well paced, particularly in the second half of the tour.

Great itinerary! We saw so much! Absolutely breathtaking! The hotel in Rome was one thing I was disappointed in. Very antiquated. I would recommend partnering with a new hotel. Philip our travel guide was amazing and very accommodating. Highly recommend this tour.

We enjoy a wide variety of experiences and scenery. The two night stops were very welcome, to catch our breath and do some washing ! We would have liked a little more time in Cornwall. The only criticism I have is the confusion experienced on the morning of departure, with two similar Insight groups leaving within 15 minutes of each other.

It efficiently hit the highlights of the country of Portugal. It showed us that the Portuguese are proud of being Portuguese, come from a long and varied history and have much to offer the world. There are such beautiful areas of olive trees, eucalyptus, and cork trees and vineyards and wind farms. We purchased this tour because we wanted to get a sample of the entire country from north to south and this Trafalgar tour delivered.

Very Fast paced tour. It stops at many cities and lots of activities to enjoy in a short time, but at the end of it we were very happy that we did it. (tour director)(coach driver) were outstanding in every way (so were the local guides).
