Fast paced tour that covered a lot of territory. Not for those who want a leisurely pace. You do get to sample a lot of countries in a time efficient and economical way. Our tour leader Noddy and driver Paulo were great. Noddy had so much knowledge about everywhere we went and Paulo drove safely in the craziest traffic conditions. His fun personality really added to the trip as well.
We chose the Vistas tour b/c this was our first experience w/most of these cities. The Rhine River & canal cruises in Amsterdam & Venice were excellent, as was the Mt. Pilates experience. Our tour leader, Mayra, was knowledgeable & caring. Our bus driver, Sam, was over the top. The included dinner at the private venue in Lucerne was more than excellent. Most hotels were acceptable, except for the Kyriad in Paris. The bathroom was dirty & the thermostat was broken. All in all, it as an enjoyable experience.
This tour provided a fabulous taste of Europe on a reasonable budget. The tour leader, Gustavo, was patient, knowledgeable, helpful, well organised and communicated well with the tour group. The coach driver, Antonio, was very skilled and kept the coach spotlessly clean, all with a big smile on his face always.
