Peter did a great job of keeping us all on track and getting us where we needed to go. And boy did we go! Busy tour seeing as many sights as we could fit in - needless to say most days were filled with different activities and really kept us hopping. Jumping on trains, carrying luggage over cobblestones and up and down stairs, and walking tours of some of the most exciting cities in Europe. The hotels we stayed at were lovely and the optional excursions really added to the experience.
I had a really great time on this trip. This is my 2nd expat tour and traveled as a solo traveler. I met new friends and new memories that I will cherish forever. Our tour leader Shae did a fantastic job coordinating the tour and accommodating all our needs. She was very helpful to everyone and made sure we got everything we need from start to end. Also, visiting Russia was one of the highlights of this trip and I also had a great during our overnight ferry ride from Stockholm to Finland. There are karaoke and live band on the ferry so we all had a chance to dance and sing our hearts out that night so it was really fun.
The actual trip was excellent: the Magnifique 2 Barge crew were incredibly friendly and every aspect of the bike riding and daily activities was meticulously organised. The accommodation on board was comfortable and it was a real pleasure to sit down at night to a lovely table and fine dining.
