Great tour, great tour leader and driver. They were very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The small bus was perfect for driving down Cornwall's tiny narrow lanes. We got to see places not normally done by the larger buses.
I started this tour in Rome and went up until London. A lot of the people on my tour had started two weeks earlier so had become good friends already. But I was very quickly welcomed into the group and my trip started with the sailing in Greece. This was as amazing as it sounds, the great open blue of the Caribbean ocean. The boats were quite small to sleep on, but it was an experience to remember. My next favourite part of the trip was Croatia! Lovely castles and beautiful ocean against cliffs. Prague was another one of my favourites, I ended up going back there for 2 weeks because 2 days wasn't nearly enough. Lastly Amsterdam was a lot of fun, the boat ride with the crew at the end nicely finished the trip and we celebrated the night away with the incredible people you'd spent an unforgettable 3 + weeks with. I strongly recommend this. Get out of your comfort zone and make some memories you can tell your grandkids!
The rolling hills and valleys of the Dordogne make for lovely walking. Over-all the accommodations were good, except I did not care for the second night’s hotel especially as we were given the wrong address! (The woman was quite surprised when we tried to open the door to her private home!) We learned to use the GPS AND the instructions, as some of the trail blazes were faded, or perhaps overgrown, as we really had to hunt for them several times. We did get off-track a few times, and ended up forging our own way as a car rally had taken over the route we were to use. If you go, pay close attention to the weather as often our instructions simply seemed to be “if it is up and muddy/small stream, that’s the route”. Wear waterproof shoes and bring blister bandages! Also, be aware of holidays in the area as that can really impact your travel. Make sure you know how to get into and out of small, rural villages as these can be difficult or expensive to access.
