    · July 28th, 2025
    My trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finished. My trip was impeccably run by tour manager Dem, who was organised, kind, flexible and provided all the fun. Despite the brief stops in each location, I was able to get a taste of the culture with a an agenda that had the perfect mix of structure and time to explore. Trips on the coach were smooth, with amazing driver Raf behind the wheel. It was a pleasure to spend some down time with Raf and Dem and their knowledge and experience was incredible. The organisation was impressive and smooth which made the trip stress free

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      Your Christmas Market tour goes to the areas we are interested in visiting, the Trafalgar tour is going north towards Berlin. I was hoping there would be another option.
