William, Antia, and Andrea were all very good guides. We also had 2 other local guides that were a wealth of knowledge. The Amsterdam Ibis Hotel was decent. Most of the staff was helpful, there was a fitness center but there should have been water provided, and the breakfast wasn’t bad. The Novotel d’italie hotel was better but there was no fitness center. The staff was all very helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were spacious. Logistically the tour is not what I expected with 1-4 tour buses of people; 100+ people. At times it felt more like a high school trip than an adult tour.
I got a discounted price for my ticket. It was worth the price for all the places we stayed and the amount of included meals. Optional extras, I am still on the fence about. The only one that I really thought was worth my money was the bike tour in Paris.
Long hours were spent on the road was part of the getting around to see 11 countries in 14 days. Overall the included and optional experiences were amazing with enough photo opportunities, but not always enough time to fully take in and enjoy the area. The included dinners and hotel (dining) were not great. Switzerland and Slovenia were amazing considering going back to explore further. Our guide was well informed with a lot of knowledge to share. We had a very competent and experienced driver. Majority of the local guides were brilliant, some better than others with regards to time management.
