    Fantastic tour from beginning to end! Our Tour Director, Hannah, was awesome! She was fun, very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and went out of her way to add special things to our itinerary that made the trip extra memorable. Highly recommend this tour (beautiful countries!) and Trafalgar!
