We saw so much of Europe and it was wonderful. A couple of more days in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria would have added so much. My wife and I still enjoyed this trip enormously.
I had an amazing time. With the right GCO, everything runs smoothly and without problems. The people you meet along the way, the places you visit, the memories you make add up to one amazing adventure.

The trip was awesome! Got to stay for 2 nights in most of the places we went which was good as it felt more relaxed while we were on the trip, however you keep finding that it's never enough time in certain places, so it is a good taster for seeing different cities and figuring out places you would like to see more of later. We did all find that we got sick during the trip, because of the time spent together in the coach and the constant late nights and early mornings so watch out for that.

Unforgettable trip! The small group made for a relaxed, fun atmosphere we were often crying with laughter. Huge credit to our tour manager, who kept everything running smoothly and brought great energy throughout.
If there’s one suggestion, it would be to skip Marseille ( feels unsafe ) and consider a stop in St. Tropez or Cannes instead for a more memorable coastal experience.
