The tour was a dream come true. The tour leader Gustavo was the best, he explained and pointed to us highlights of the place we are visiting. Gustavo was always looking after all of us, shepherding us from one location to the next. He made us all very comfortable with each other, in the end we made friends. We feel that he went beyond his work or duties. Our driver Florentin was very courteous, friendly, such an excellent driver, I am in awe with his driving skills, he took us safely from one point to the next.
The route for this trip was well planned, and the baggage transfers went without a problem. The route brought us through very pleasant land with nice views. Where the route was shared with vehicle traffic, we always felt safe. (Quite a change from bike touring in the USA.) The hotels were very nice and well positioned for sightseeing in the towns.
We had the best time on our EJ tour in September this year! It was great to experience so much in so little time (11 countries in 14 days). Our tour leader Shae was the best! She was very organised, knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the locations we visited, and made everyone feel comfortable. Our driver Hans was great and got us safely to all our destinations. The best driver in Europe! We loved all the included experiences such as the river cruises and meals. Our highlights for the optional excursions were the Venice gondola ride and Switzerland Jungfrau top of Europe experience. Overall this tour is a great way to experience the best parts of Europe.
