I love the fact that we’re on the move all the time to make the most of seeing as much in every place as you possibly can after all that’s what we came for, to see the sites, taste the food, and soak up the culture. Trafalgar delivers in every way.
Fast paced well coordinated itinerary. Two consecutive night accommodations are considered helpful. Distance traveled not too extreme and good stops along the way
