Had a great time walking in Andorra. Donal the tour leader was helpful and engaging and had organised everything so there were no difficulties. The accommodation was very nice and the walks themselves were within the range of a moderately fit person (and I am only moderately fit at best). A free day gave time to visit Andorra La Vella which only requires a day to go through. Would happily recommend.
The enduring phrase ‘la dolce vita’ (the good life) truly captures the essence of Italy. On this trip, you’ll spend eight days discovering the heart of all things Italian on a culturally rich adventure from the piazzas of Rome to the canals of Venice. Take in the crumbling ruins of Rome, board a scenic train ride to Bologna and discover the maze-like canals of Venice with your local leader. Visit the Leaning Tower in Pisa, learn how to make pasta by hand in Bologna and indulge in delicious local cuisine and a couple (or two) glasses of vino – ah Italia!
It was our first time on a Trafalgar trip and most likely not our last. The scenery was spectacular, the tours were educational and fascinating. The hotels were top rate and the meals were delicious. Our Travel Director and Coach Driver were both outstanding. The whole experience was incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable. I highly recommend this company to anyone interested in a tour of this nature.
Many wonderful experiences on our holiday in the Azores - thoroughly recommended. Special mention must be made of our superb tour leader Tania. She was faultless - knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful and caring in every way . She worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and we all counted ourselves very lucky to be with her. We were genuinely sorry to say goodbye, as we enjoyed her company so much . She worked so hard to ensure we had the maximum enjoyment from our holiday. Thank you, Tania.
It was a great trip and the Tour Director was on top of everything. The drivers were both professional and friendly. Just an FYI Scandinavia has a high cost of Living

Overall we had a wonderful time. We are looking at other itineraries.
But I have some suggestions. It would be nice to have a meet and greet at the first dinner. To state our names and where we are from etc. so it doesn't take a week to know everyone's name.
I thought the first and last day were very confusing. We didn't have clear direction where to go and where to meet and what the plan was.
I wish we had more information about the additional events prior to booking them like where, what, and menus. Some menus we would have passed on.
