For the most part this trip was amazing, however, we had a few issues.
1. Trafalger & AAT Kings has a seat rotation system that does not allow parties of more than 2 to sit together in the coach except for the first day. This needs to be changed so that families can remain together for all days of the trip.
2. Many days started with needing to be on the coach before 8:00 AM. This was expected to be a vacation where there was some time to relax but the pace was very fast.
3. Stops for lunch, bathroom, etc. were not long enough. There were 47 people on the tour and it often took 30 minutes just to get through the restrooms. The length of stops needs to take into consideration the number of available bathroom stalls.
4. Early morning stops often were made before shops etc. in the area were open but the tour director still talked about the amazing shops that we could visit. Tour directors need to be aware of operating hours when suggesting businesses to visit at stops.
