    The 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.

    · November 15th, 2023
    Recently 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!

    There was a lot more walking than i anticipated. The step on and off the van is often extremely steep and there should be a stool to assist to reduce the distance. The really early starts after late night endings is also difficult, very rushed at times.

    It was an excellent tour. A whirlwind indeed as we covered many countries in a short period and we had to spend a lot of time on the coach. But we couldn’t have done it without Trafalger. Our tour director was fantastic - so knowledgeable, considerate, energetic, and fun. The driver Dirk was also excellent - driving so many hours and fetching bout suitcases always with a smile on his face. Thank you for the unforgettable summer!
