    We completed this tour a couple of weeks ago and thought of giving you some feedback. a) In terms of number of places and events covered during the tour was amazing and I enjoyed it very much. However, the early starts almost every day and walks in excess of 20,000 steps in some days was bit too much for elderly travellers in the group including my wife. Being a prolific waker, it was not a big issue for me though😊 Also, families with little kids struggled to get going in the morning. Many travellers were unaware of these conditions so, I would like to suggest that these conditions are spelt out clearly in Tourradar/ Eurpamundo broachers and website so that the travellers are aware of these conditions at the time of booking. Attached is the Tourradar broacher and it lacks these details. b) Tour guides who accompanied us were good overall. Gabriella Golian who accompanied us from the start of the tour in Rome to Innsbruck was excellent; probably the best guide I’ve come across in my past many travels all over the globe. Most of our travelling group members praised her friendly and caring attitude coupled with firm daily instructions not to be late and be respectful to the group. We had many delays since she left as the other two guides were bit too soft. Also, our driver Petrov kept the bus clean right throughout the journey from Rome to Innsbruck. Again, Gabriella reminded the tour group to keep the bus clean and takeaway all the rubbish on exit. Other two tour guides and the drivers failed to maintain a clean bus. Please pass this message to your tour guides for improvement. c) Hotels were generally OK but most of the hotels were below expectations for many travellers mainly due to the absence of a kettle to boil water and tea/coffee in the room. Most of my travel group was from tea-drinking countries. Only a couple of hotels had a kettle and tea bags in the room. Please consider this when selecting hotels. Overall, it’s was a very pleasant and positive experience for me. Look forward to travel with you again sometime soon.
