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.

Too long on bus. Nothing scenic on ride. Too many museums.
Driver and tour director great.
Once we got to designation, it was beautiful. I'd have enjoyed more oceanside towns instead of forts, cemetaries, and museums.
