Our Trafalgar team were simply outstanding. Thank you Trafalgar and Affordable Tours!!!!

An excellent tour and great tour guide.

Our travel guide was great. He had a good sense of humor. I really enjoyed this tour.

The Sound of Music Tour with Trafalgar was good but should have had more time in Salzburg, Austria -- the main sight of the movie. Simply not enough time to see the main sites from the movie. For a big fan, it simply would not do. For a casual fan, it would probably be acceptable. Several of the provided dinners were very inconsistent and substandard, including the "fine dining" offered with the concert in Vienna (optional tour ). In addition, several of the hotels while nice were not air conditioned and I would not want to stay when it was hot in the summer. Overall, I would give the tour 3 and 1/ 2 stars as the tour guide and bus driver were a great delight and the scenery is beautiful.

I am very please with this trip. The tour director is very professional and knowledgeable. The motor coach driver is super and polite. I think the whole group had a very pleasant time.

Two of the four accommodations were to our expectations.

The hotels were nice! The tour director was excellent.
