A good itinerary but you have to take the "optional trips" so be prepared for an extra bill on top.
There is a lot of coach travel it's comfortable but the stops for lunch ect are all at services,not bad but not great either.
Because of all the upselling of the optional trips I wouldn't use Trafalgar again.
