European Experience

the itinerary delivers a great "sampler" of Europe. Does mean quite a lot of bus trvavel time of course, since it covers so much ground (literally). The bus is quite nice, and the driver was wonderful. I liked the concept of the optional programs, but was still surprised by the added expense of them when it came time to choosing. I think maybe raise the cost of the trip a bit and include a few of them, or offer some discount for people to choose some upfront - that way they've paid for them in advance and aren't surprised on the trip with the cost of the extras.

Very long days and some accommodations were underwhelming, (2) Ibis. We have decided we will never take a coach tour again as it is too taxing on our bodies and brains!

The hotels were quite good - the only exception was the Ibis hotel in Paris - way too small! The places visited were on my wish list. Very good way to experience much of Europe in a limited amount of time.
