Kaz and I have travelled many times with the help of Trina and the team. We love the walks, the places we stay, and the help we get when we need it - and sometimes we need it!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! We got to see more than we expected!! We were absolutely in AWE of Edinburgh and wish we had an extra day!! Also of Cambridge and Bath! Breakfasts and dinners that were included were great, and our tour leader and driver were THE best! Unforgettable! I promise this'll be one of THE best tours you'll take! (Ps. pack light - sometimes there are stairs/no lifts! And be prepared to wake up bright and early and stay up late!!)
The trip of a lifetime!!!! This was everything I wanted it to be and more, I ticked so much off my bucket list whilst making friends and memories that will last a lifetime. This is a very fast paced tour, and it would have been nice to have longer in some locations (Florence in particular) however I knew the itinerary going into it. If your looking for a small teaser of each location rather than in depth discovery then this tour is ideal. The accommodations were mixed. Most of the locations were clean and modern with the majority having private bathrooms as a pose to communal ones which was very convenient. Many were on the small side but this is expected in hostels. The worst stay was in Barcelona where the rooms looked like prison cells. A lot of our group did not enjoy our stay here. The best rooms, in my opinion, were in Florence and Venice. It would have been nice to have been warned before hand that a lot of the accommodations are an Uber or public transport ride away from the tourist spots but it didn't impact the enjoyment of the trip. Be prepared for long hours on the bus. Travel days can be long, and we were unfortunate enough to get caught in traffic on the way to Nice which doubled our travel time. However, the tour leader kept us entertained as much as possible and travel days ended up being good bonding days with music and games. Our trip leader, Michael was very helpful and approachable. He was knowledgeable and maintained a great balance between an organized and relaxed trip. Our driver was also very professional and polite. The included meals could have been better. I took part in most of the optional extras which I would highly recommend doing as they were all worth the money, the train ride and skydive in Switzerland in particular were excellent.
