This trip was a once in a lifetime, bucket list trip. We wanted to see Europe and found this tour to be exceptional. Our Travel Director - *personal info removed by Feefo* ensured that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. His vast experience allowed him to plan and revise plans to maximize our exposure to each of the areas through which we were travelling. His incredible knowledge of the areas and his entertaining stories and videos provided the background knowledge we needed to more fully appreciate the regions that we were in. His "little surprises" such as licorice, chocolates, Schnapps and Limoncello were the cherry on top of fabulous excursions, that solidified memories, as we left and embarked on our next adventure.
We also appreciated the flexibility of the tour to allow us to explore additional areas of interest of the group along the way e.g., touring Notre Dame, early one morning, before we moved on.
*personal info removed by Feefo* made a point of getting to know everyone individually and his personal touches helped each of us to maximize our enjoyment and comfort throughout the trip. He personalized the travel music and movies to suit his riders, often highlighting music from the areas of the world from wens we were from. The morning routines of introducing the travellers at the front and our morning tune - On the Road Again, will forever be a favourite and a reminder of the fun we had on the Coach no matter how long we were travelling that day.
Words do not do this experience justice. Trafalgar's motto of Making Travel Matter, added a depth to many of the experiences, as we experienced Family run businesses and learned how they contribute and support the local economy above and beyond the aspect of tourism.
I would highly recommend this tour and want to thank our
Travel Director, *personal info removed by Feefo* for making our first trip to Europe a trip we will remember fondly forever.
