    Such a great itinerary for those wanting a taste of western Europe. Perfect balance of inclusions and free-time to really make the most of my travels. Our Trip Manager Tai was awesome - so knowledgeable and helpful. Get recounts of history and general knowledge was impressive and I really felt like I was traveling with a local in every city cos she just knew where everything was and what it was about.
