I love to make the most out of my trips so getting up early and go go go see everything I can in a small amount of time is my kind of adventure. My one piece of advice is to at LEAST do the ""Pairs Plus"" and the ""Jungfraujoch"" (the Alps in Switzerland) options. I know it is a lot of money but definitely 100% worth it, and you came all that way. I have to give a huge shout out to Bobby our driver he made the trip for many of us with this sense of humour. The only con that I had for the entire trip was the river rhine cruise in Germany. We drove along the river while our tour guide Steve told us all about the buildings, castles and the story of Lorelei. We then got on the cruise down the same river in the opposite direction and saw everything all over again. I as well as many others in our group thought that it would have been time better spent to stop in little towns all the way to our hotel and experience Germany. But all in all, it was a Fantastic trip.
I toured with Firo Borges and Ivo Fernando and they make a spectacular team (believe me). They provided a great balance of group and independent sight seeing and offered excellent advice when it came to saving costs while touring. Organization was spot on and excellent - never had any problems anywhere throughout the trip. The guides were excellent in being flexible if we couldn't make it somewhere on time (very seamless travel). They also made sure that everyone on the group make connections with each other and we really became a family. Anyone who travels with them is in for a fantastic adventure and you won't regret it one bit! Schedules were posted in advance and menus for meals went around beforehand. We usually ended our nights on 9 pm and began at 6:45 a.m - the time is enough for you to sleep while travelling back to back! I recommend this tour and these two tour guides specifically to everyone! I will definitely do it again. Had a total blast!
This tour is fast-paced but if you're up for it it's absolutely worth it. We had the chance to see and do so much. The optional excursions were great. Both our tour guide and driver were very nice and knowledgable. I will definitely be looking forward to my next expat explore tour.
