Great trip and great organized tour Director, she even arranged the weather, highly recommend this one.
It was a great itinerary and to do all the extra things was great
Great service,use again, Maria was so helpful and most knowledgeable tour director.
The destinations and scenery were beautiful. Our host was friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a fast-paced tour so you’re constantly moving from beginning to end. My chief complaint is several of the hotels were very basic, lacking amenities and located far from the center. Our hotel in Berlin was especially far out and not in the best neighborhood. Many of us expressed safety concerns with that one. All in all it was an enjoyable trip and lifelong friends were made.
Everything was wonderful! our travel director was great! All the excursions were worth the money. I liked all the hotels but Berlin - the hotel was nice but the location was not! I meet a lot of wonderful people. The bus had WiFi and charging was available in each seat. Can’t wait to go on my next trip!
Great cities visited, so much history. Would liked to have spent extra time in Budapest and Prague. Tour Director great keeping everyone on schedule to maximise time and opportunities. Driver was amazing!
We appreciate the opportunity to provide a narrative evaluation of our recent trip with Trafalgar and to those who made it possible. Our compliments to the Trafalgar specialist team that handcrafted the day-by-day itinerary that made this offering one of the most complex and diverse of our many trips. The success of your offering is best measured by the quality of your local team of professionals that begin with the Travel Director, Coach Drive, and local guides. Travel Director, Coach Driver, and the local professional guides for the optional experiences were all top quality. was excellent as our Director for accomplishing all of the details and logistics demanded of the many experiences occurring in each of the daily itinerary offerings. The quality of customer service and satisfaction is never an accident but the result of intelligent effort to meet the details required each and every time. was outstanding in making this group experience exceptional for our forty-three member group. Let me explain in detail: Our group diversity consisted of three multiple member families; five couples along with ten single women attendees; five different countries were represented speaking in four different languages. Trafalgar’s twenty plus multifaceted optional experience generates a logical nightmare for any Travel Director to accomplish for the eighteen day journey. The success of every trip begins with the Travel Director who serves as the facilitator of the process for accomplishing each detail of a multiple offering. Having served in a forty-two year career involving health care, customer service, education training and event management you recognize excellence when it is experienced. met and exceeded those daily challenges and made our trip for those in our group an outstanding one that will always be remembered. A valued team member that is sometimes lost in the evaluation process is that of the professional Coach Driver. Anton Korcon who was our Driver will always be remembered as the “Local Good Will Ambassador” at each stop and every day as we began the tour. is exceptional for not only being our professional driver but the service and positive greeting that we all received with a smile. He became a special member to our group because of his ability to connect with each member and always being there to welcome us back from each event. Large companies and organizations will espouse the statement that “our employees are our greatest assets” and in this case the Trafalgar team of and are exemplary examples of this being a true statement. Memories that get shared from travelers are more than the sites being visited but include those positive interactions and interpersonal communication skills of those encountered along the journey. and deserve that recognition for making this Trafalgar trip one of our best. A picture is said to be worth a thousand words and these three pictures along with the group picture will capture that thought as viewed: a. ; b. our Travel Director; c. our professional Coach Driver; and d.

The itineary was a breath taking experience. The travel director takes care of you from day 1 ensuring you maxmize your time to capture points of interest in all countries. A superb and well co-ordinated travel experience in every country accompanied with a local specialist. Travelled in comfort with a profesiional driver that engages with all his passengers. Great camaradie during the seventeen days. An experince not to be missed with Trafalgar tours. Consistenet "Five Star" service until the very end.
This tour covered specific places that we were interested in visiting ,thats why we picked this one,
Packed itinerary, but that's the way if one wants to see more. Works well for us, but maybe not some others. We had a great time covering all the cities. Tour Director and Driver did an amazing job to make it seamless. Their first time partnering, but what a partnership.
Duration of the trip was just nice. Activities were well planned and organised.
It's very well planned. Covers most if not all of the pertinent attractions. Meals were also well planned with emphasis on local cuisine. I like that we have 2 nights stay in each city.
We want to express our gratitude to for being an outstanding travel director. We had an opportunity do, see and learn so much, and this is all because of her. It was enhanced by her positive attitude, beautiful smile and powerful knowledge, which motivated us during this trip. We of course, would like to give thanks as well to driver Vlad who kept us safe during our trip. Thank you Trafalgar for having caring and professional people like and . They made our unique vacation special!! Richard and Elena
This trip was great. I would recommend it to all my friends and family. Special thanks to Danielle who went out of the way to make sure we were all ok and safe.
Excellent overview of Eastern Europe history and highlights. Lots of fun local experiences. Guide made trip cone alive. Great we spent 2 nights in each location . You can sit back and enjoy the ride.
The tour was great however, more warning/information regarding the amount of walking on cobble stones in every city should be forthcoming prior to the tour. Excellent runners/shoes are required to ensure full enjoyment of the trip.
Great pace with two nights in hotels
Great guide and driver just Berlin disappointing. Didn't see exciting modern Berlin. Too much on history which many of us know and have seen. More music on bus related to different countries on longer trips for some of the time. Little towns such as Tabor and stop at Moritzberg were great. More stops at great little towns instead of on motorway stops. BUT GREAT GUIDE AND DRIVER. More on modern life too
Fairly fast paced and our guide *personal info removed by Feefo* was fantastic. This is just me but I hate that the first and last days count towards the number of days even though its just a few hours (seems like we pay full day price for part days, when we look at trips we look at price per day.
