Good tour management. Good guides. Ignacio , Eva were very informative. Eva especially was guiding us for all shopping areas too. Raid was also good.Hotels at zurich and Milan were bad. At zurich the breakfast management was quite bad. Proper cutlery not kept. Do not use this hotel . Milan hotel bad too. We had to walk with our bags from the road thru a mall 2nd floor. Then we had to walk again few meters to reach the hotel for check in . Same for check out too. The door lock system at this hote was very complicated and many of our guests had to face the problem. Euorpamundo should immediately stop using this hotel.The Ac does not work at Italy. This was not pre informed by europamundo. The local bus driver at Rome was not upto the mark. Rough rides. The toilets in all long distance travel bus was not working. The bus between Zurich and Italy was rickety and noisy sounds from windows and doors.
I loved that we were able to visit so many amazing places in Northern Italy All portions of the tour were very organized and executed well and that made our days very productive and enjoyable.
Overall i had a good time. the things i didnt like were the overpacked itinaries, due to that, people usually left hotels at 0730 in the morning and checked into hotels at 1030pm the same day. this should be limited to a maximum of 12 hrs. other things included hotels not being in central areas or places where we could as travellers find it easy to commute especially after dropping us off in the city and not offering a pick up back to the hotels. due to it being summer most of us were sticky, hot and less than impressed. the tour guides seemed to work to their bone and was difficult to get large groups gathered..not that it was the tour guides fault but the amount of people in each group. being a single travller, i joined about 5 groups so i can say that was definitely the case everytime. one of the days we were dropped off at X location and told that we would be picked up at Y location. we all felt lost.. ended up getting a taxi just to get from lost point to Y to get the bus to the hotel.
being a single traveller, i didnt get to know who i was paired with all the time and some hotels only had 1 key which made life very difficult for both of us.
also, some groups had dinners packaged with their trips this wasnt told to me so the 2nd day i followed a group and basically was told i couldnt join in so i had to loiter around to another restaurant barely knew what they served and had a terrible meal.
overall, 5/10.
i wouldnt travel with europamundo again.
Paris to Rome—two cities, endless wonders. The 11-day 'Joyful Treasures AR' explorer tour is designed for seniors and those seeking comfortable group travel. With hotels, transport, and meals included, you’ll experience the best that France and Italy have to offer, guided by knowledgeable hosts. The true USP lies in the tour’s seamless transition between cultures, allowing travelers to savor the highlights of both countries with ease and delight.
The guides were very knowlegeable and very patient in sharing the history of each city visited on the tour with us. I thank Linus, Emmanuel, and Gabriela and also thank the Bus operators Firmine and Dominic in taking us to these exceptional places. Thank you all.
