What people love about Europe Tours from Amsterdam
- Europe Jewel
A well planned and executed tour, felt very comfortable. The commentary given by the tour leader and the local tour guides were helpful to understand the countries and their historic value which is unknown by many.
- Europe Explorer
The tour is absolutely fantastic and we are enjoy it very much! We like Jungfrau, Switzerland the most. The coach seat is not so comfort during travel day & some accommodation provided without lift, since it is 18 days & you can imagine how difficult to handle the big and heavy the luggage after tired travel day.
- Europe's Highlights
I took Cosmos 4810. It was a great tour, little fast paced, definitely not for people who are looking for a tour to relax. The guide was knowledgeable and good. I did most of the extra excursions offered as they were very good and worth the money. I would wish if they more options with optional excursions. Most of the accommodations were good except the Paris hotel and the hotel in Montecatini which can be improved. Also if Cosmos can provide water bottles, atleast 2 water bottle per person per day that would make it so easy as everyday you have to spend so much money just buying water. Overall great experience.
