Everything I would expect from Explore! Thought Hotel Mary was scraping the bottom of the barrel even for a basic hotel. Overall a fantastic experience with tour leaders and guides who were both knowledgeable and passionate about their respective countries.
Hi there, I thought another day in Scotland would have been better. Maybe gone to Glasgow and then combined the last 2 days in the UK together. The last 2 days were a wee bit of a disappointment compared to the first part of the trip. Our TD was wonderful she is so knowledgeable and really knows her stuff.
Four amazing countries in one trip! Each place had its own unique charm, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced. Switzerland’s Alps and Italy’s gelato were highlights!
El viaje estuvo muy bueno y los guías son muy amigables.
Por otro lado considero que deberían mejorar el manejo del itinerario en Europamundo. He viajado varias veces y por lo general tienen muy pocos recesos para comer merienda o ir al baño. Hay muchas personas mayores que viajan y posiblemente tengan sus condiciones de salud. Creo que añadir recesos de 15 a 20 minutos para comer una merienda o ir al baño debería ser añadido al itinerario para cada 2-3 horas. No es saludable estar desde las 6:30am con el desayuno hasta las 1pm o 2pm para almorzar. Para mantener una alimentación saludable se necesita comer cada 2 horas haciendo comidas y meriendas. El viaje de Corea del Sur fue el único en donde hubo varios recesos necesarios y se pudo lograr cumplir con todo lo planeado para cada día.
Otra cosa a considerar es que si hay alguien que termina un tour antes que los demás y se queda un día más en el hotel, el guía debe asegurarse de hacer esta explicación de las personas que NO van a hacer check-out en el hotel. Me pasó que el tour continuaba hacia Noruega mientras me quedaba un día más en Dinamarca y le dieron check-out a todos los huéspedes de Europundo incluyéndome a mi y a mi esposo. Tuvimos que esperar a que el hotel aclarara las cosas para dejarnos quedar una noche adicional que ya estaba pagada y era parte del paquete. El muchacho del hotel fue muy cordial y nos ayudó. Pero creo que esto se pudo haber evitado si uno de los guías hubiese explicado y aclarado los huéspedes que iban a dar check-out ese día y los que se quedaban una noche adicional.
