Carla· June 8th, 2024Awesome trip, travel director great fun and very knowledgeable, would definitely use again.Show more
Costsaver commented on this reviewThank you for your great review. we appreciate your support of your business. Thank you for being our guest.Trip date: April 2024- Ashley· June 4th, 2024Overall, i had an awesome time in Europe! So I'll start with the bad and end with the good! Paying extras for alot of the optionals, I personally felt some were badly planned/ organised and way out of pocket. Quite a few of them were much cheaper to book and pay on getyourguide, whilst still appreciating the organisation and timing for booking with the tour. 1 hour in Positano was not worth the amount of money we paid. 1 hour in Sorrento as well. We were told we weren't allowed to catch the bus and do our own thing for some of the optionals, yet when we chose not to do an optional, such as pompei, we had to still be on the bus and wait around a small market for 3 hours. We were encouraged to take the walking tour of Rome, not being told that we would already be there and had the option to stay. So instead of heading back to the hotel for 3 hours like the rest, we stayed in Rome and adventured ourselves, and ended up paying for the walking tour, which of most we'd already seen ourselves. We were misguided to believe we had to take the tour to get into the city. Otherwise would have to find our own transportation. Other than that, for the price of what it was, it was great hotels and great places to see. I loved the fact the tour was all ages. It would have been great to maybe do a game or something on the bus to get everyone to know eachother and open up a little earlier. Other people agreed by the end when we all eventually mingled and became friends! I think being told we were a "tough crowd" numerous times by our guide, didn't really allow us to be our fun selves. It kind of set the precedent. Raymond was a great your guide overall, but sometimes when asking a question his reaction would make me feel uneasy to ask any more. A little defensive and sarcastic. Was unsure of whether it was his way of trying to break the ice or not but if it didn't work the first few times he should try a different approach lol. Got a little defensive when asking questions about the prices of the optionals as well. The fact the bus would give us a coffee break, and broke up the hours was great, and absolutely so was Michelli the bus driver. What an awesome driver 👏🏼 the hotels were all great 👍🏼 only 1 night I would say it would have been great to have dinner included as we didn't arrive to our hotel until dinner time then we had to go and find our own. This was in Nice, France. Overall, I don't know if I'd highly recommend the same itinerary to a friend, but I would say it wasn't the worst but just beware of some of the faults.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewWe appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

The trip was fun, but felt rushed to fit in so much, some stops were so short, hard to enjoy, needed one day in the middle to actually rest, hard to enjoy an outing after driving for many hours, when there is a long driving day, there should be no excursions planned.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback.

Asked on September 28th, 2024I have been researching tours of Europe for next year. I have signed up for a Rick Steves tour starting on June 1. I would like to start a few days earlier than that. the itinerary we signed up for is good (Amsterdam, Rhine River, Venice, Rome, Venice, Cinque Terra, Innsbruck, Burgundy, Paris. but I like your itinerary even better with Monaco and the French Riviera. So my concern is that your tour is too budget. I saw a few reviews that referred to mold in the hotels and they all talked about the extra tours (which I don't have a problem with as your tours are so reasonable.). My wife and I can afford a higher level of lodging and dining but we love your itinerary. Any thoughts?
- CostsaverOperator•Written September 2024
Regarding your concern about the quality of lodging and dining, please rest assured that Trafalgar is committed to providing comfortable and enjoyable accommodations. While we strive to offer competitive pricing, we do not compromise on quality. Our team carefully selects hotels and dining experiences to ensure they meet high standards. We regularly review and update our accommodations based on guest feedback to maintain and improve quality.
