    Luke is an exceptional tour guide who goes above and beyond to connect with everyone personally, learning each of our names. Throughout the tour, he fosters a sense of family among us, encouraging care, support, and selflessness. Luke consistently shares fascinating information and captivating stories about the places we visit, often feeling like a shepherd guiding his flock. His humor keeps us entertained, and his eloquence is truly impressive. During long journeys, Luke keeps the atmosphere lively with songs and quizzes, ensuring we are never bored. His talent for entertainment extends to the driver as well, making the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. Absolutely! Luke truly deserves a big thumbs up for his outstanding roles and the vibrant, engaging atmosphere he creates. 🌟👍

    In a word, Luke was an awesome tour leader. He was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited. He made a point to talk to each person on the tour and to get to know them. He always had a smile on his face, even when things got stressful. He exuded joy about travel, and his attitude was contagious. This led to a fun tour for all the participants and the development of a comraderie among them. I would welcome the opportunity to travel with Luke again!

    Luke was an excellent tour guide for our trip! He set just the right tone with introductions and explaining the ground rules, and then enforced them tempered with his great sense of humor and people skills. He knew all kinds of interesting details about the places we visited, and gave us both good historical background and fun facts. His broad knowledge of many different subjects added to our enjoyment. He took the time to interact individually with each of the many people on the trip, while still coordinating all of the details of each stop along the way. All in all, Luke was everything you would want in a tour guide and I would love to get to travel with him again.

      We understand your concern about the tour's pace and walking involved. Cities have historic areas with cobblestone streets, steps, and uneven terrain. Walking tours can last up to three hours and require carrying your own luggage. Potential challenges include: high steps on coaches, long walking tours, cobblestone streets, restricted bathroom access, long periods without stops, and strict time schedules.

      We can no longer assist with transfers. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation.
