I enjoyed the variety of places we visited. I especially liked having a local guide at each location to learn about the history and culture of each place. The only regret for me was that we couldn’t spend more time in Lake Bled. I liked that we were able to take the boats over to the island, but I would have also enjoyed seeing a view of the lake from a higher vantage point to be able to see the entire lake with the island in the middle. Otherwise, I was fully pleased with the itinerary of the tour.

The hotels and location was quite good....some optionals did not take off, due to want of numbers. In such case, it would have better if the agency can provide skip the line tickets and the ones interested do it on their own, without guide or transfers.....it was too late for us to purchase the entry to the royal palace in madrid and sagradia familia
