For point 2 and 3 the communication was very poor. It started with arrival at Budapest - it was not explained how I shall be received at the airport. The voucher of the service issued to me do not mention how I should recognize the pickup person at airport. When I inquired Makemytrip - the agency I booked this trip, told me that at the airport a person with their company sign will be waiting for me. I did not find the person for waiting at the airport in Budapest with makemytrip signage. I called all numbers in India and in Europe, finally to get answer that I must wait at the airport until 1 hour and half as mentioned in the voucher. Whereas the person with Europamundo sign was waiting from the time I arrived at the Airport. It was only when I started asking every person waiting there for pickup with some signage and then came to know that pick-up person from Europamundo was there but because of poor document and communication shared with me I could only find him after one hour of my arrival in Budapest. During this one hour I called so many numbers, felt harassed as either no one picked up the call or was able to tell me which sign I should look for. I spend almost USD 15 in this process.
The prague itinerary on day 4 was disaster. We were made to walk so much that we felt tired. the information does not say how many kilometer we shall be walking. Based on which we could have decided to continue with rest of the day walking or not. Castel Quarter was very good, the guide (Eva) was excellent. Later we were to take a boat. To get to the boat your agent made us walk another 1.5 Km. After the boat trip he made us walk another 1 km and said the coach will be there at 8pm, now I do not understand that a tour starts at 8.15 am with walking until 12:00. After which we were told that we should assemble again at some point at 13:40 so that we can get to boat. Then we walk from there until 14:10. After which again we are told now it your free time (which means walk) as the coach will come at 8pm. We had selected a trip as vacation to enjoy and not for exercising. Do you think on a normal working day any person will walk for nearly 12 hours? That left us completely tired on day 4. Clearly no one has reported to you until now. Please let me know how you intend to compensate me for this poor service and improve this service for any future customer.
The circuits were very good and my guides were excellent save one. Hats off to Jose Maria Alvear, Diana and most of all Diego Bueno Gonzalez. They are the best guides.
Would like to give a special mention to my tour guide Javier Esteban and bus driver Miguel who I met in
Prague and spent a week with them BEST guys Ive ever come across. Thank you so much to you both I will miss you guys

The locations that appealed to me most were the Switzerland and Italy locations. I am someone who needs to do things with other people in order to be happy, so it was really nice to be able to find a person with whom i could explore the location of the day with during our assigned free time. I do wish occasionally to stay in some cities a little longer, either by free time or staying more days, but i understand the need for the current schedule. The schedule was a lot less hectic than i had initially imagined for my first tour bus type travel excursion and was pleasantly surprised at the overall trip, so i would definitely do it, though at this time i dont know where. I would be interested in touring again with some of the same guides, but i realize that is not a likely possibility.
I had a 20 day trip, so i had multiple guides throughout my tour. I had started with Lionel, then went to Linus, Angela, Incarne?, Abdel, and finally Mariano, on my last day. Although, not always enjoyable every moment, i did appreciate the greatly varrying styles of each guide. However, while they were all good in their own way, Incarne and Angela were my favorites due to their styles and interaction with the travelers, in terms of getting to know the travelers and their interests.
One thing i should improve upon for myself is to look at the provided information more carefully to determine what exactly is or is not provided. At the time i booked the trip i had not had a free moment to review all the information provided in the traveler information, so i would definitely take the time to research everything

We loved the different daily activities, free afternoon time, bus transfer to the hotel daily, the local guides were very informative and helpful. Accommodation was great. My only suggestion, the travel app to include the tour guide contact details, and more attention to individual and details when starting the tour on the first day.

Hotels in Rome and Frankfurt were lacking in provision of breakfast to group members. Hotel in Rome had a discriminatory layout of breakfast for Europamundo guests and their regular guests. That was insulting sort of experience. It also did not provide any tea/coffee material etc in room. Other hotels were excellent.
The guides, Leno, Abdul and Maria were absolutely fantastic. They made thing very easy and trip joyful. The local guide in Vatican city was too verbose and should cut down unnecessary explanations. Rest of the local guides were excellent. There should be provision for letting the guests come to hotel room late or early on their own from city transfers. As of now it gets difficult if the luggage is in the bus as guide can not take responsibility for that. So the guests are forced to travel with the buys. This can be resolved by placing identification stickers on the luggage pieces on day 1 of the tour. Overall, the trip was excellent and I will surely recommend Europamundo to friends and family. Thanks for all the lovely places you took me around.

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.
