- GTGowwhry· December 8th, 2023The tour itself was interesting and enjoyable. There should be more transparency about approximately how much free time is available in each city. The big negative for me was the tour director made some racially targetted comments about Indians which were not appropriate in any day or age. I am highly disappointed that I have paid thousands of dollars to be on this tour and had to listen to people of my race being mocked and belittled by the person leading the tour. The comments weren't targeted at me but still targetted at people of my ethnicity. Why am I being made to feel inferior because of my ethnicity? Disgraceful behaviour. I would recommend this tour but not the tour director we had.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewWe value your feedback and appreciate you sharing your review based on your recent experience with us.

- Robert· November 15th, 2023Recently embarked on the Trafalgar whirlwind European tour and, wow, what a journey it was! This tour's a brilliant pick for those who like ticking off all the major European highlights in one go. From the romantic streets of Paris to the historic allure of Rome, we covered all of the iconic sights. It's a bit of a sprint, though, so brace yourself for a fast-paced adventure. This might be a tad challenging for the folks who prefer a more leisurely pace or have some mobility concerns. Our guide, Brendan, was an absolute legend – knowledgeable, engaging, and always on the ball. He brought the stories of Europe alive with his insights. If you're up for a comprehensive European experience, this tour's the ticket. Just pack your best walking shoes!Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your feedback.

Valerie
Traveler•Written January 2024can you help me choose between four tours: 1. Classic Europe - 14 Days by Expat Explore Travel (Gold), 2. European Whirl (Summer, End London, 13 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum), 3. European Whirl (Summer, End Paris, 14 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum), 4. European Whirl (Summer, End Paris, 12 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum)
- TrafalgarOperator•Written January 2024
I would recommend the European Whirl tour. It offers quality service and better/centrally located hotels than the Classic Europe tour. All European Whirl tours will be similar, with slight differences. Tour 3 will have 2 nights in London. Tour 4 will not have London included and you join the group in London in the morning and then head to Amsterdam.
