Overall, this was an amazing trip to be introduced to Europe and experience a little bit of everything there. If you are thinking about opting out of a tour service like this and figuring it all out on your own, I would advise against it. There are a lot of cultural and social differences between these countries that a cursory internet search will not make you aware of. The tour guide's guidance is really what allowed us to be safe and not clueless while exploring, and the tour also highlighted a lot of the activities and locations that were actually worth doing. I feel like I truly maximized my time in Europe and did not waste a moment. At this price point, I doubt you would be able to find anything as good. It was truly life-changing, and on the flight back I dreaded coming back home. Also, if you see Kevin Screene as an option for your tour guides, take him. Amazing person and an even better guide.

The travel experience was very good especially the guides who were all very nice to us. I was just a bit disappointed with some changes in the itinerary during our trip. Instead of ferry to Canterbury from France, we were diverted to the Eurotunnel, which consequently changed our schedule of activities.
Our stay in Eperlecques to visit the bunker, which could have been a very nice experience was cut very very short. Instead of visiting Amiens, we were brought to Calais. Likewise, our stay in Canterbury, a very nice place, was also very short which, of course, is understandable due to an unforeseen event in the EUROtunnel. But still, I suggest that the itinerary should be carefully planned out so that any possible problem will be dealt with and the itinerary will be implemented strictly. I also recommend more time for shopping in Paris, like give optional stops in Champs Elysee or Lafayette for passengers who want to do some shopping there.
