Customer Reviews
Good overview sample of the two countries. Nice mix of included meals and experiences and opportunities to customize.
Group size too large Had to pay extra for tours else there was nothing offered. Hardly any dinners or lunches included. When comparing to other tour companies Talfalgar is not a good choice.
