We saw so much of Europe and it was wonderful. A couple of more days in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria would have added so much. My wife and I still enjoyed this trip enormously.
It was the right itinerary to get the highlights of the 3 lovely countries that we visited. The pace between stops was perfectly timed. We had adequate stops to satisfy all of our travelers. Great directions from *Personal details removed by Feefo*, our tour guide, to enjoy each stop. Our driver, *Personal details removed by Feefo*, was special. He navigated us into spots that didn’t seem possible!
