The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

Great trip that visited 7 countries. All the hotels were nice and a couple were exceptional. Our guide was full of information and kept us informed about our daily schedule. There were some long travel days but it wasn’t a problem. The WhatsApp was used for daily communication and photo sharing. I thought the optional dinners were overpriced and local singers/dancers should have been included activities. It was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it!
