Grand European tour with as our amazing Tour Director and as our awesome driver was a magical experience. The tour optional experience extras were fabulous and well worth including in the tour. The tour is fast paced, informative and lots of fun. It certainly highlights all the best parts of Europe in a safe and comfortable environment.
Amazing variety of experiences, excellent tour guide and local specialists. I also loved that Trafalgar supports local artists and family run farms. A highlight for me was the Make Travel Matter experience with the weavers.
It was planned very well by Trafalgar. Hotels were nice, food was good, but the walking distances to and from the bus were more than we were expecting. We are glad we took this trip because we saw so many great things, but in hindsight it was probably too much walking for us.
The tour provides a sampling of the shrines of Italy. I wanted to see the home of Padre Pio and was not disappointed. I was lucky enough to experience a spiritual light here My son died of cancer and followed Padre Pio and it was here I finally knew he was at peace and so was I . The stories of the Nazareth at the church in Lareto was amazing. It would have been nicer to spend more time there. This tour is not for people who cannot do stairs, some of the churches require walking up and down. Food in some of the places was was like banquet food and was terrible at the dinners. The pasta was great but some of the meats were horrible, some of the food was oversalted. Breakfast was the best.
