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.

Most of the destinations were worth seeing however, we felt that, given the distance and travel time, to reach Cardiff could have been omitted altogether.
Travelling the "Country Roads" was lovely however, there were very long periods of travel which, seemed to be due to a degree of zig zagging and back tracking which, could possibly be better planned, as in, visiting the towns and locations, on a continuous, forward journey. Whether it be clockwise or, anti-clockwise. As this would also allow more time in each place and town or city
Having said this, we did enjoy many of the sights visited an, welcomed the flexibility and free time where possible. We must also commend both the tour director () and, the very experienced driver (), for their care and attention, at every level.
Thankyou.

Don't let them try to make you do their extra tours.......out of our group of 23 I was only one not interested but was pestered by group leader to do and also by the coach driver. He took me onto our accommodation but tried to make me feel this was a favor. What if there had been others not wanting to participate.....would they have also had this treatment...
