We had great fun in this tour. Aside from the beautiful places we visited, Erin (our tour leader) was amazing! She organized our tour well. She also timed some of the activities perfectly (like the water taxi in Venice at sunset & the leaning tower in Pisa early in the morning so we were the first coach to arrive). Steve (our driver) was also very nice and very skilled. Overall, this is a great value-for-money tour.
The tour was well-organized and efficiently managed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the driver was excellent. I would give it five stars except that the tour guide publicly reprimanded my traveling companion and me for arriving several minutes late at the beginning of the trip, and the driver was generally gruff and unfriendly during the entire tour. This cast a bit of a pall over the whole trip, which is a shame, because other than that it was a great experience. I couldn't have imagined a more effective way of seeing so many countries in such a short time.
The guide was superb (Inga) she kept us informed and on time and was fun, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout (helping us manage time we'll and so positive!). We aren't great travelers but this tour allowed us to rest on the bus, enjoy cuisine of each country, see Spectacular sites, and meet super friendly group travelers from all over the world (49 on bus: comfortable bus and fun). Hotels nicely located in European villages and early starts let us see a ton of things) Highly recommend for anyone young or old!! Michael Connell and Sun hui Connell (early 60s) many younger and older-what a tour!!
