All the locations visited are beautiful and the tour itself is great. The only issue with the tour is how much bus time it is every couple days but that’s the nature of visiting so many places in a short time.

It would be nice for long drive days if the stops could be at someplace more scenic and with better food options instead of gas stations along the side of the highway. People who pay a lot for a vacation typically don't want to eat gas station food. I loved the itinerary, especially the boat cruises along the Rhine and in Budapest and Prague. The hotels were great, though it would have been nice to stay closer to the main square in Venice and be able to walk back to the hotel (boat rides were nice but very long). The visit to Burano was amazing. For the days when dinner wasn't included, it would be nice to have a list of local options instead of just sending us to find our own. The bus rides for this tour were long, but the bus was comfortable. Early starts were rough so it was good to be able to nap on the bus. Having the luggage handled for us was super nice. Hotel breakfasts were always great. It was clear everything had been well thought out and planned. I enjoyed the trip and the way it was organized enough to book the Switzerland tour for next Spring!
