North Africa 8-Day Tours and Trips

It was a fast-paced, whirlwind of sights. All the major attractions were covered well and the local tour guides were outstanding. The visit to the Vatican museum felt rushed, however. There was so much too see, but not enough time. A full day in the Vatican would have been better.

Nat Geo family expeditions give an awesome mix of exposure to the local culture, a variety of experiences that you would likely be too overwhelmed to put into an itinerary on your own, and high-quality accommodations and food. Good CEOs really set this apart, since they can absorb and correct the hiccups, leaving us to just enjoy the trip. Their local knowledge and translation service was above and beyond our expectations.

The hotline staff was friendly and helpful. I bought the airport transfer from the Glasgow hotel. The UK transfer service is better than the Paris service. Overall, we enjoy the tour and will come back.

Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel were the best!!! The property was beautiful and the people were the best; very helpful, friendly and polite . A place I have always wanted to visit. Eating breakfast and dinner there was a beautiful experience. The views from the Cupola Bar were beautiful. The tour of Chicago was so fun and Guide Dave was wonderful, knew so much, answered questions. Dinner at Harry Caray's was perfect; fun place, great people and glad I was there, a good distraction for me, to celebrate what would have been our 50th anniversary. The Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park were amazing; didn't know what to expect. The surprise drive across the Bridge was nice!!!! Loved the Dow house and grounds; I could have spent more time there; very interesting. In Bay City I enjoyed the river walk area and the band in the park right in front of our hotel. Henry Ford museum and Greenfield Village were amazing. I could have stayed there a lot longer; hard to take it all in. Dawn and Lonnie were the best; definitely made the trip wonderful. I learned so much about Michigan and was so glad to see these few parts of the State. Farewell dinner at Ford Garage; great way to top it off!!!

Highly recommend doing this tour! Its itinerary showcases some of Europe's awesome scenery from start to finish. Well worth doing-you will have many great photo opportunities throughout the tour. You will be left wanting to see more of the places you visit on tour

The Hike/Barge trip across Scotland was wonderful. The barge was very comfortable and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. We all interacted like family. The food was amazing and a real surprise. There was a choice of hikes most days depending on how challenged you wanted to be or if you wanted to take it easier. It was also very comfortable to just stay on the barge if you wanted a half day or full day off hiking. The hikes were beautiful.
