A wonderful fast paced trip. Be prepared for a fabulous historical and cultural experience.
Make sure you love walking, those that don’t spoil it for the rest of the group. Pack for all types of weather we unexpectedly experienced snow in April. This was also a real treat.
Make sure you have plenty of loose change for public bathroom costs and small notes for tipping local specialists.

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.

Amazing trip plus amazing tour leader ************ was a wealth of knowledge and ran a tight ship The only criticism was the Assisi leg seemed to be a waste of a stopover The hotel was not up to standard and although Assisi was a good place to visit It would be better calling in to visit and stopping overnight somewhere else for a two night stopover as there was not much to do there

The itinerary was amazing however would have loved to be given a little more time to explore most destinations I feel most parts were a little rushed to take in the sights and fully explore and enjoy the sights.
The places on the tour were excellent
The driver of our coach and the tour guide were amazing and knowledgeable
Our travelling companions were great people and a good match and had same goals and experiences a lot in common
Overall a great experience but would have loved more time to explore destinations and actually get take time to enjoy it

The iteneray was full on and we must have travelled well over 3000km over the 21 days. The tour is a snapshot of Europe and as such the itenerary reflected that. What it provided me was the opportunity to now go back and see more of certain countries which we only visited in day. My only suggestion is to extend by either 2 or 3 days and make the trip not as rushed as it was some days.

Fantastic trip. The best tour guide and driver I've ever traveled with. Well organized, fast paced, you do need to be reasonably fit. Best of all, I travelled with the most wonderful people I could ever wish to met.
