Northern Europe Tours in May 2027

This tour hits the highlights of Croatia. I would not recommend the excursion to Montenegro as the customs stop adds an hour and 1/2 to a long bus ride. Kotor in Montenegro is an interesting walled city. The tour guide and bus driver were top rate. They couldn’t have been better.

Micke was an excellent tour guide. Stefan was an excellent bus driver in Norway. Stockholm City Hall with the gold mosaic displays was amazing. There are too many memorable moments to list.

The tour was exceptional. It had a good blend of sightseeing and activities to participate in. Outstanding tour director and local guides. The Chinese were friendly and welcoming. Country entry and exit lines were a breeze. Would recommend to anyone.

Dave and Ash were perfect hosts, guides, commentators, drivers, chaperones, in fact,you name it they were it! From start to finish they were consummate professionals, courteous, polite, knowledgeable, amusing and perfect hosts in every way. They are superb ambassadors not just for AAT Kings but also, for the beautiful country of Australia! Every attraction on the tour was greeted with enthusiasm by our hosts and even a couple of trips that were in their 'infancy' on the schedule and didn't quite match the enormity and splendour of the other trips were very enjoyable due to their honesty, participation and support. Accommodation throughout was superb, ranging from luxury City hotels to a couple of much smaller out of the way motels that were still a very good standard and beautifully clean. Everywhere we went we were supplied with wonderful food at excellent venues and always with a smile. Great banter on board our bus was helped and in the main initiated by Dave and Ash and apart from a couple of 'old sticks in the mud' everyone joined in and made the very best of our time together. Would we return with AAT? Of course we would. Would we prefer to go with Dave and Ash? You bet your sweet 'Ash' we would!!! Thank you one and all. We will be back!

The tour was very flexible. I have a back issue, so I sat out parts of some tours. Overall, though, I was able to participate in most tours. The tour director provided personal help and direction, when needed. When we spent longer times on the bus, she played music and videos that were fun and entertaining. She also distributed Canadian treats from time to time ... yummy. The food was delicious. I appreciated that dinner was on our own, so we didn't eat huge meals at 7 pm and then try to sleep.

It was a very comprehensive trip, allowing us to experience the beauty of Portugal, get to know some of its history, and meet some wonderful people who love Portugal and are devoted to promoting their country.
