Questions & Answers Ask A Question
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This was my first trip with Affordable tours. Iwas very impressed. I personally didn't appreciate that I had to fight with multiple suitcase and having to walk long distances. Future trips i will definitely pack light because of all of the walking and transferring from plane, bus and trains.
You cannot beat Globus Escape tours for the price. They've become more and more popular as this is the 2nd or 3rd time they've opened a parallel tour to go with the one we've chosen. This tour was fast paced and would give a first time visitor a taste of the area. Globus tour directors are excellent and all of the hotels were located conveniently.
Super trip. Great tour director and super coach driver! We had a significant weather issue outside of their control and they did an outstanding job to deal with situation! Sites, hotels etc great!!
Some of the hotels were outdated but accessible to the city center. So you are trading one option for another.
We had good tour director Mauricio. My only comment was that we booked it as a smaller group however we were integrated with a bigger group in total we were 24 in the group good thing the people in the tour were really nice people.
Everything and everyone was great. Tracy and Francesco are the best tour guides I have ever met.
Karen is so helpful when booking our trips.
Ines was fabulous. Pedro was an excellent driver. I always felt safe.
Taking this trip off season is definitely the best way to go. Lovely area of the world with a lot of history. I learned a lot.
The tour director and driver were professional and courteous. It was great to learn the history of each area we toured. We enjoyed meeting our other travelers
Not as good as my previous trips with Globus . Of course weather was bad too . Hotel selection was not up to par
Affordable Tours was very helpful and so easy to work with. Brenda made sure I had all the information I needed and sent very appropriate and friendly reminders that were so helpful. Brenda also answered my emails and phone calls promptly and accurately. I highly recommend Affordable Tours.
Some of the optional tours were cancelled. Some hotels were not in the center of town. Our tour leader Rogan was fantastic. The wine tour in Melbourne Yarra Valley was maxed at 6 people. More people wanted to go but no other option. The barbecue lunch at the farm was on the same day as the farewell dinner....not a good combo. The best driver was Robin.
To whom it may concern, I did not receive a “taste of London dinner cruise.” Also we never had a “guided drive through Paris, past the illuminated monuments and bridges, for a whole new perspective of Place de l'Opéra, the Champs Elysées, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, and more.”. I would have enjoyed some of the Hotels but, there was not Air conditioning working in Florence and Venice.
