Coast to coast, city to city, the European Quest is el perfecto! Balancing everything we love about being in Europe. Stunning days spent on the coast of San Sebastian, cultured nights bar hopping in Prague, and enough time in Italy to leave you up to your eyebrows in pizza.
The logical path taken to cover the places in the trip was good.
The trip should include more time in London, Scotland and York and not in Cambridge or Durham. Everything was closed in Durham by the time we reached and we could hardly see anything. Also the hotel room provided in Durham was not at all up to the mark.
Also, our family of 3 adults have travelled together and the rooms provided everywhere were double rooms converted to three-bed. There was no space to move around. Instead we should have been provided with one double room and one single room.
The guide was Spanish and was just able to speak in English. At times we found it difficult to follow him due to his strong accent.
Raquel, our guide for Scotland trip is a very helpful and patient. I give her 5 stars. Sometimes,the audio for the whisper is a bit difficult to comprehend. Overall, the trip is enjoyable. The hotel staffs are very friendly.
I took part in this tour as the agenda gave a chance to visit places on my bucket list such as Oxford. I was not disappointed. The tour guide and driver were very professional and as a first time solo traveller I felt comfortable in a small group. I met and made friends on this trip and will look to doing other tours with Back Roads in the future.
