The coach was comfortable. Never felt the tiredness despite some long drives.well thought of service station stops...Both Mark and SteveN were so efficient and made me feel at home while navigating the tour
We never would have been able to organise a trip like this ourselves. We experienced places and saw things we never thought of. Our tour leader's knowledge and advice on each location was amazing. The tour leader and coach driver worked like a well oiled team despite not previously working together. They both brought humour, fun and a sense of adventure to each day. Our tour leaders ability to manage such a large groups needs, expectations and diversity was inspiring. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Travelled in October 2019 on the Europe jewel. For the price, the tour was great. However, the tour guide had his moments where although he said he "attempted" to connect with all from the group he clearly had his favorites and assisted them more then the ones he had to tolerate. He also sat with a specific group and didn't really share with all equally. Also if you made friends with people from the tour he would separate you so you can meet other groups which isn't bad , but one should be allowed to sit with whomever you want. The tour guide also came off very pushy with the tips and when a lady on the bus fell on the bus he lacked compassion. He was extremely upset and acted annoyed and not very supportive to the lady at the time. He just wanted to get her to the hotel and get rid of the problem. As for the optional excursions, some are worth it and some aren't. Some optional dinners were 40$ euros a person but the quality was lacking. The food you can tell was not fresh and the options were very limited. A suggestion, for those who are triggered by others actions, I recommend to ensure before booking that you're okay with dealing with 49 other personalities. The group we had was a mixture of annoying phillipinos who wanted to be the first in everything to laid back nice families.
