- ARAlbert· July 29th, 2019All meals should have been included in the package with possibly 1 evening on our own. Also all excursions should have been included with the package such as the boat tour on the Seine. Last year we traveled to Scotland and Ireland with CIE Tours and it was all inclusive. The only 4 star hotel was in Lucerne and the Pullman hotel is not a 5 star hotel. Robin the driver was excellent.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for having taken the time to share your feedback.

- RRuthAlback· April 27th, 2019I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 day European Experience tour. Kassie Jones is an excellent organiser and has so much knowledge about the places we visited. She also showed care for all of the passengers. I appreciated her assistance with getting on and off the bus. Kassie also gave us information about places to eat and where to find toilets. I appreciated her advice on where to buy earrings in Venice. Kassie helped to make our trip fun, enjoyable, and a learning experience.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewWe love creating experiences that our guests will treasure, and paying careful attention to special requirements allows us to ensure that all of our guests can share in the same comfort when travelling with us.

- Maria· January 8th, 2019I absolutely loved my tour. All the hotels were fantastic with the exception of the hotel we used in Germany, the staff were rude and abrupt to our Tour Director who was polite and professional in his dealings with staff. Although the hotel in Germany was pleasant and comfortable the customer service could do with some attention. It would help if staff smiled when checking you in and smiled when answering your queries rather than treating you like you are a nuisance.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your review of the European Highlights guided vacation with Trafalgar.

Asked on August 5th, 2024When traveling on Christmas day - is special consideration made due to places being closed? Special meals etc?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written August 2024
When traveling over holidays such as Christmas and New Year's, we do our best to plan so that you won't miss anything. Many main sites remain open during holidays or have hours that allow us to adjust the itinerary accordingly. We will move things around on the days to make it work so our guests miss nothing. If an inclusion is not possible due to closures, we will replace it for the guest with another experience of equal or better value. Christmas Day and New Years Eve – Festive meals are included on these special days at no extra cost.
