Our 14-day Jewel of Europe trip was nothing short of spectacular! Jemma, our tour leader, and Florin, our driver, were exceptional. The Swiss Alps on New Year's Day was undoubtedly a highlight of the trip. All the hotels, we had comfortable stays, and each restaurant visit gave us a decent taste of each country. The optional excursions were totally worth it as well.
Most of the places we stayed were great but the Rhine valley wasn’t upto what we expected.. the place we stayed, the food was pretty poor.. other than that we enjoyed everywhere else.
While there is the option to sit out some of the walking tours it's better to know ahead of time what you're getting yourself into. Some of the best parts are best seen on foot but if you can't handle lots of walking this may not be the trip for you. You will make great friends and experience once in a lifetime moments so if you can do it I highly recommend it!
