Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Overall, the services were good.
Trafalgar tours was fantastic. Really enjoyed the trip. The last day in London could have been better and included some additional things. I think it fell short. But the rest of the trip was amazing
We loved Bernie. He was so knowledgeable, fun, and helped us really navigate each city with his pointers. We did not like the London tour guided portion as we felt it was chaotic and disorganized. We ended up leaving the guided tour and doing things on our own.
Eric went always out of his way to find the best tour for us, answer my questions, reply promptly to my calls, and always above and beyond the call of duty. Thank You.
Miguel was very consistent and professional, I would recommend him to my family and friends
Trafalgar was the best!! Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgible.
This was the second time I used Trafalgar, but I enjoyed this trip better than the first one. Bernie, Tour Director, is Great. She's very funny, and very knowledgeable about the areas we are going. She and our Coach Driver, Giovanni really worked together. So well organized and everything is so well planned. Me and my husband really enjoyed our vacation.
Our trip with Trafalgar exceeded all of our expectations. First, Affordable Tours was outstanding in helping us plan our trip. Our travel consultant answered every question accurately and timely. She made excellent air reservations for us, and she coordinated our extra day activities. This was a wonderful experience. All hotels were exceptional and all activities and meals were outstanding. Our guide deserves great credit. He worked tirelessly to insure all passengers and baggage were loaded on the bus in an efficient manner. He kept everyone on a tight schedule, and did it compassionately with a touch of humor. I can't say enough about his excellent knowledge of the region and its history. We would love to travel with him again. The value for the price was absolutely outstanding. Thank you Trafalgar for a wonderful experience.
Great experience of a lifetime. Our travel consultant at Affordable Tours was tremendously helpful in planning this trip for us. It was more than what I expected of our travel. We enjoyed every moment and the tour director was an amazing person.
We saw a lot on our trip but it was so fast paced that we felt a little more rest time could have been included.
Our Europe tour guide was excellent! Website should be more clear, however, that all the excursions are extra. We spent an additional $2500 just on being able to attend the excursions. The London portion of the trip was disappointing. It was not guided. We were left at a hotel with our luggage to check in ourselves and other than a 2 hour tour in the morning - it was completely independent. There was one girl available to work with 30+ guests. It was chaos and a horrible way to end our trip. If I had known it was going to be like that, I would not have booked the tour with the London piece, but saved that trip for another date with a different tour operator.
