Loved it full on , but it was well worth it. We would never got to see what we got to see with out this well organised tour. It helps having a great tour guide and bus driver no doubt it would not have been so smooth with out them .

Excellent Itinerary showing us Europe at its finest. All countries were magical from Venices Gondola rides to Switzerlands horse and carriage rides, to the beautiful waters of the French Riveria to Paris’s Moulin Rouge and many more exciting activities. Excellent Tour Director and Bus Driver.

Great intro to Europe. People wouldnt mind if it were 2 or 3 nights in all cities. Yes it would make it longer but worth it. Most people that do trips ere over 65. I think walk in showers should be a must for everyone in all hotels. In each place local dishes should be eaten. I've done a lot of tours, food standard has gone down. So much good food is available and not offered. Local guides point out facts but go on too much. Walk n talk get it over so you have more free time. The before covid and after covid is a big difference not just in prices, standards. A lot has changed. All in all pretty good Thank you

fantastic trip, only downsides where, would have helped to have more info prior. Advising to get a Wise card only a few days before departure but need at least two weeks prior to order. Packing list for a 21 day trip was so unrealistic and maybe was for a 6 day trip. need to send a different list if summer . When evening meals are not included, need hotels that have food options open, 3 times nothing was open even the hotel did not serve food or had another group dinning so booked out, had nothing to eat. When dinner was included staff made it very rushed and wanted us to leave asap, ask for a drink, told to wait and ever received multiple times, twice was told, (go finished). definitely not a language barrier, just want us to leave as quickly as possible, really took the enjoyment out of group dinner. only when dinners where at family farm or restaurant was any good because you could tell they wanted to be there.

A great tour guide makes for a great trip! Brek was the best!

Skipped over some places in the itinerary due to traffic etc., this should be accounted for in the planning so as guests do not miss out on seeing anything, if it cannot be fit in then make sure the Guests understand this.

Too fast to enjoy places visited

The Trafalgar Tour with *personal info removed by Feefo* was absolutely amazing . We had a wonderful time. Beautiful memories to treasure. The itinerary was perfect, we saw and did so much more than we thought was even possible in the given time. The positional extras were fantastic. The trip on the bus was so much better than I expected. Overall the tour was such a fabulous experience, and I would definitely recommend the Grand European Tour as I would do it again.

Excellent trip, especially for first timers overseas. Trafalgar take all the worry out of planning a big holiday. Everyday was a new adventure and was an excellent tour director. His knowledge of Europe was amazing and no problem was too hard to solve. and our driver were the perfect team. I think the meals in hotels could be improved and the farewell dinner in Paris could have been a dinner cruise instead of a separate dinner then a cruise. Will definitely holiday with Trafalgar again

It’s a fast paced itinerary but for someone who has never been to Europe before, it is perfect. You get to see and learn so much. It really was the most worthwhile, comfortable, amazing trip I have ever taken. Thank you to our Tour Director, Driver and Trafalga

Trafalgar offer a great experience but let themselves down with the lack of quality of food. Part of experiencing Europe is the amazing food on offer. Trafalgar failed big time on that. Our Tour Director was absolutely amazing and can't fault him at all but we won't be doing another Trafalgar because we really felt we didn't get value for money with the food for the price we paid

Nicola D.On Aug 15, 2025

We have many special memories on this Grand European tour. From the day we all meet in London, from the last day in Paris! Trafalgar showed us the best of every country we visited. We are very happy! Not only with the places we have seen, but with the friends we have made on our journey!

It was an amazing trip with a great bunch of people and the best tour director you could ask for. He was very knowledgeable, fun, charming, witty, down to earth and an overall ****** nice guy. He made the whole experience worth it even though it was a very VERY tiring trip.

Most of the hotels were of good quality although some were not centrally located. Some of the hotel dinners were very basic meals. The tour director, driver and coach were all excellent as were the local specialist tour guides.

The itinerary was a perfect balance of exploring and time to rest/free time. I found the motel choices great. Places visited were awesome and suited us. Our guide was amazing!!! Catered to everyone’s needs. He was also so good with children.

Great trip but be prepared for early mornings and long days. Our tour guide and bus driver were fantastic.

Vilya V.On Jun 25, 2025

The Itinerary was fabulous, we got to see so much and learn about everything we saw and the Countries we went through. We were very lucky to have Tour Director with us, he was extremely knowledgeable and took care of every little detail along the way. The only part I can remember that I thought would be better left out, was the stay in Pisa, we didn't have enough down time to check into our hotel and shower before we went out for dinner.

This tour was a full on fantastic trip. Saw alot and experienced alot too. The Tour guide and driver were excellent and very knowledgeable. Our group of people were great and everyone got on which made the trip so enjoyable. The only disappointment was not going to Amalfy Coast as this got changed.

Packed with experiences Fast paced Saw much more than if trying to do similar route on my own Hotels generally in good locations Very well organised

Jocelyn C.On Jun 24, 2025

We really enjoyed this trip and had a wonderful Bus driver and Tour Director team. It was a full on trip but we're happy with what we saw. Hotels overall were great. Would have stayed in Florence instead of Pisa though and then had 2 nights. We didn't learn anything from the Cheese and Clogs guy. He was an idiot. We would have liked to have seen more of the Netherlands. And was sad we didn't get down the Amalfi coast. Overall though it was a great experience,just a few tweaks needed.

Deirdre O.On Jun 23, 2025

The itinerary was amazing. We saw so much more than we could have hoped for and would never have been able to achieve had we tried to do the trip on our own. Everything ran smoothly, our tour director was fabulous and his hidden gems made the trip a trip of a lifetime.

We hit all the spots and highlights. I wanted to see with minimal lining up. Would loved to have stayed overnight in Florence instead of Piza as I wanted to buy some leather goods. The dinner in Rome should be taken out and let people stay in town to look around and get what they want to eat. Rome, Venus, Paris, Assisi, Amsterdam, Switzerland etc so many great places to see, a truely magnificent trip.

A great tour to experience highlights of Europe. We had a wonderful group of people to tour with and an amazing tour guide and driver who worked really hard to optimise our access to attractions and experiences. Disappointed that the Itinery changed and we didn't stay in Florence or visit the amalfi coast as per the printed itinery that we booked. As a person with food allergies I found it challenging to find food at lunch stops in some countries and at times at breakfast. Also challenging to get enough to eat at some set menu dinners who did not cater for gf allergies very well. Our tour leader was amazing and did a,great job of making sure I had something to eat, but it was a frustrating process at times.

Was great but when we went to **** was to Long day I think we should have not stayed there maybe a free day in the middle of the trip

Joanne B.On Jun 17, 2025

Trafalga showed us the best possible sites in Europe. It was good travelling as a tour group because all the permits, tickets, and choose were organised for you. There’s no way you could do that successfully on your own. Our tour guide was amazing brick and our bus driver. Giuseppe was the most helpful man. Some of the one night stays could’ve been two nights days and some stays weren’t necessary at all but all in all it was an experience of a lifetime and I thank you Trafalga. I would thoroughly recommend you.

To be prepared! Minutes matter, listen to the tour director's instructions he is there to guide you through your journey of experiencing the most happiest moments of your life. Pay attention and be ready in the mornings, help others if they need help and respect one another that will mean that everyone will get along and have a great time. The itinerary is jam packed with so many events, walking tours and activities there is so much to do and learn. I loved everything about it, there were so many highlights from the Colosseum to the Lion Monument and the Eiffel Tower, but I think the one that grabbed my heart was The Pantheon, the architecture and it was raining the day we visited a magical experience. There were other jaw dropping moments such as walking through the Holy door at St Peter's Basilica which opens every 25 years and observing the Grand Prix practice warm up in Monaco the list goes on going on this trip was at the right time and right place.
