All the options were excellent. The local guides walked at a slow pace giving us time to take pictures. Our guide Alfonso and our driver Tito were great. We would take a tour with them anytime
Amazing variety of experiences, excellent tour guide and local specialists. I also loved that Trafalgar supports local artists and family run farms. A highlight for me was the Make Travel Matter experience with the weavers.
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.
I understand that its important to have an enticing list of destinations, but some cities only allowed for a few evening hours. Personally I would have paid extra for a Frecciarossa in order to obtain a few more time.
Our trip was absolutely wonderful! I would like to thank our tour guide, for taking great care of everything. We had something planned every day and the group that travelled with us was so friendly. Everything worked out beautifully. We made memories that will last a lifetime!
Excellent tour venues . The tour director Francis was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all. The Driver and local guides were amazing. A couple of hotels were substandard but the optional tours were were mostly worth it
