The accommodations were first class and the experienced Tout Director and bus driver were exceptional.
Excellent driver, and friendly. Guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour.
I was very pleased with my Trafalgar vacation.The Tour director and driver very excellent... friendly, very knowledgeable and great sense of humour. A male traveller in his 50s experienced a heart attack while on the bus travelling through the countryside many miles from a hospital but the situation was very well handled by the tour director, Trafalgarand all the travellers on board the bus. I would definitely recommend Trafalgarto friends.
Accommodations and food were below expectations. We started our trip a day early and could not use the cab voucher that day. The trip had long drives on a few days with only brief and sometimes uninteresting stops to grocery stores and strip malls.
Very enjoyable trip. We saw so much in eight days. Our tour guide was great, he was very knowledgeable, informative, and told great stories to keep us entertained. Also had a wonderful bus driver who had a cooler of cold water bottles every day and made driving the bus look so easy!!
