European Experience

Some hotels were more than my wife and I expected on a fast paced trip like this. Others were a hole in the wall, but satisfied us after a long and strenuous day. If you decide number 1 item, is to bring comfortable walking shoes. This trip was well worth every penny we spent, to see so much culture, historical sites, and to take in the European hospitality.

The tours were worthwhile.

The hotels were great.. In Paris our hotel room was small but there is a lot of restaurants and stores in the area if you walk in block or two away from the front of the hotel. IF you take the optional Cabaret Dinner the food and store in the area won't much matter. Our time in Paris was excellent and the sights we saw were perfect for the amount of time in that location. I highly recommend this trip.

Maybe be more clear about the excursions. Indicate that the tour director is in charge of them. The hotels were nice & the food was great. Make sure to indicate that there’s a lot of walking & stair climbing. We got beautiful pictures & made great memories

All hotels were fine except Ibis in Paris. It was tooooo small!!!

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!
