What people love about Train & Rail Tours from London
- Discover Europe by Rail
Gema is the kindest, most patient and funny leader. She is professional at all times while feeling like a friend you’re travelling in. She steps in to solve doubts quickly, and was nothing but comforting and calming the whole trip. Everyone felt included with her and at ease. She put in extra hours to come up with creative games and group challenges to keep us entertained and make the tour even more interesting. She was so knowledgeable and engaging, and constantly full of energy and laughter. This trip wouldn’t have been the same without her, we love you!!! xxx
