Great tour and fantastic tour manager! Ben anticipated and met every need and was so knowledgeable about everything. Couldn't have asked for anyone better. Enjoyed the included tour highlights as well as Ben's advice about activities and dining for unscheduled time.

Very well organized, excellent tour guide & super comfortable coach plus very competent driver. I was impressed with the trip to Mt. Pilates, even with the snow & sleet. Also really enjoyed the mountain village & apple strudel lesson.

Having Mass at all the beautiful baroque style churches was the best part. I also loved how Pedro offered historical & geographical content to every place we went. He was the best guide I've ever had.
Carol W. | Traveled in October
Food was very good. The crew was great- very friendly and accommodating. Loved floating down the rivers and through the locks. Amsterdam was undoubtedly my favorite spot, probably because we got to spend more time there. Everything we saw was great!
Gabby | Traveled in October
It was a great tour, my husband and I enjoyed the tour even its a fast pace we were able to see all the iconic spots in the itinerary. Always nice to start the day with all included breakfast and the included dinner was awesome. We had a great experience joining some of the optional tours with authentic local cuisine. I just wish we had more time to explore the cities we've been. I will rate this tour 4.1/5. Just remember anytime travelling its a must to always bring a comfy shoes.

Maja our tour manager was amazing. My favorite trip was to Amsterdam but my favorite activity was the ridiculously silly and fun play we participated in with spur of the moment costumes. It allowed us to act like kids again. The food was great and the people were fantastic!
