I knew from the description that it would be a fast paced trip and that we would sleep in a different place each night and that’s exactly what I wanted = an overview so I could see whether I wanted to go back anywhere. If you’re like me, who enjoys going out for dinner and drinks each night, you would be very tired at the end of trip. However, many chose to stay in and go to bed and I believe for them the trip was not tiring, even for the older ones. Morning starts are reasonable - we left at 8am each day. Simon was a fabulous tour guide and the local guides were all wonderful. Do take small euro bills = you definitely need them. (also take coins for toilet stops). Definitely have a revolut, or similar, card. The optional activities, whilst nice,, are highly, highly over-priced, shame on the travel specialist! One thing I missed, was more. recommendations to authentic local food with local prices. All in all, a fabulous trip and I’m so glad I did it. I will use this agency again for their professionalism.
The tour was amazing! We got to see different parts of Italy, and there were guided tours and optional excursions that were enjoyable. Everything was well organized and our tour leader Vinni was brilliant! Highly recommend this for active people who want to explore the most out if Italy!
Highlights of Bohemia has been my dream trip since 2019 (as my initial booking was cancelled more than once during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic and related social issues) and I'm so happy I was finally able to experience it. The trip was thoughtfully and wonderfully planned out. The coach travel was well-timed (with plenty of stops and even a couple of movies during the longer stretches). Having two nights for each hotel stay allowed the right balance of rest and travel. The itinerary was well-balanced between structured/ guided and free/ personal time and neither ever felt like too much or too little of either. The Tour Director was amazing in every way; extremely good at balancing and accomadating group and individual needs and, along with the Local Specialists provided global and local historical and social perspectives, as well as helpful suggestions for the best use of our free time. The drivers were safe and very helpful, and the coach was always clean and comfortable. Hotels were mostly centrally located, also allowing a better personal experience for those like me who enjoy wandering and enjoying local venues and persons.
It was great to experience so many varied and different things, from ancient cities to hot air balloon rides to hammam treatments. We were busy but also had some free time. Mustafa was the perfect tour leader, a perfectionist yet approachable
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.
This tour was so much fun. Learnt a lot, met a lot of new friends, and had a ton of fun. Would highly recommend this tour, and to travel through Europe in general.
Amazing trip! If you want to see all the beautiful scenery Switzerland has, this is the trip for you! The small multicultural group size made it easy to get to know one another other and learn about each others countries and previous travel experiences. Our Tour guide was extremely informative and expressed great passion for the country and his job.
I didn't know what to expect, all I can say is was fantastic. Luke & Craig were exceptional they couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Luke is the best tour leader we've ever had. His knowledge about history & places were amazing. Craig's driving was exceptional & his thoughtfulness was over & above. They work SOOOOOOOO WELL together. Thank you XPat for placing them as our tour leader & driver.
was an excellent tour manager and he had a great sense of humor. The driver was amazing as he maneuver the coach in tight spaces. We had the right balance of “on the move” and free time. The cities we visited were unbelievably magnificent. It was the week before Easter. I enjoyed the Easter markets and got the Krtek I was looking for. The local guides were well chosen and augmented the history I had researched before going. Great trip. Would travel with again.
We had the best time on the Scandinavian tour. We met some really nice people from all over the globe and had a wonderful time together. Our tour guide Luke was the best. He has the nicest personality, made us laugh and full of knowledge. Our tour guide Brian wax the best as well and got us to all our destinations safely. The two made a great team and gave us the best experience.
