What people love about Europe Tours in August
- European Highlights (Summer, End Paris)
I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 day European Experience tour. Kassie Jones is an excellent organiser and has so much knowledge about the places we visited. She also showed care for all of the passengers. I appreciated her assistance with getting on and off the bus. Kassie also gave us information about places to eat and where to find toilets. I appreciated her advice on where to buy earrings in Venice. Kassie helped to make our trip fun, enjoyable, and a learning experience.
- Europe Taster
It was really value for money. Tour guide & driver were excellent
Ri was an incredible trip manager! She went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a memorable experience. Her passion, dedication and expertise made every second of the trip so special. She fostered a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. It was my first solo trip and I was so nervous, but Ri's kindness and compassion made the whole experience so much better than I could have dreamed. She handled difficult and challenging situations with professionalism and positivity. I really appreciate all the effort she put into organising an unforgettable adventure for us!
