Well organized, we were well informed of the places we went. Our Travel Director was I believe an expert in history. There was never a dull moment. Ii would highly recommend a group tour with Trafalgar.

The hotels you chose were cheap quality. For the amount of money I spent on this trip, I expected the accommodations to be much better. We didn’t even get to go inside the Coliseum or the Pantheon. I just feel like for the amount of money spent on this trip, it could have been much better.
