What people love about Europe Tours from London
- European Encounter (Winter, Start London, Classic)
Great tour with the hands down, bar none, absolute best tour manager and driver on the planet. Chloe was informative and caring and kept us all together while touring so much so that our entire group became like a big family. Couldn't have imagined the trip without her knowledge and punny jokes. Garth our driver, hats off to that cool cat for getting us 5000kms safely and through some of the craziest traffic without incident! Love my contiki family!! Xx
- European Whirl (End Paris, 14 Days)
We had an absolute blast. Met new people that we still remain in touch with. Our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. We couldn't fault the accommodation, meals or the bus driver. We loved that everything was arranged for us and all we had to worry about was waking up on time for breakfast. Will definitely recommend Trafalgar and their exceptional service. Winter in Europe was magical and we loved the Christmas markets but our highlight was spending a day with locals in Switzerland and the horse drawn carriage ride through the snow. Just beautiful.
I had the best 10 days of my life after long time. Laura, our tour leader was awesome, and Stuart, our driver was very reliable. I made friends with everyone in our group, we became like a family, and now that I'm back. I miss them so much. Looking forward to future trips with expat explore. Thank you!
