- FCFaith· May 27th, 2025The tour in general is good, the hotels are acceptable, the price of the trip is good. The only problem we had was in Turkey, when we arrived in Ephesus, the English speaking tour guide did not show up, we had no English explanation for the important ancient city Ephesus which is very unfortunate. Other than that, everything went well. We would do it with Europamundo again.Show more
Europamundo commented on this reviewDear Faith, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback about “The Heart of Thrace” and for highlighting the positive aspects of the tour, the hotels, and the price. We are very sorry for the situation in Ephesus regarding the absence of the... Show moreTrip date: May 2025 - CPCecilia· June 28th, 2022I absolutely wouldn’t recommend Europamundo to english-speaking travelers. Spanish was the primary language of the tour. The english translation either was lacking, wasn’t very good, not as thorough, and unintelligible. It felt like we were just an afterthought, a minority group, and given a lower priority. Also, the itinerary provided ahead of time was mostly inaccurate. The departure times specified on the itinerary were not followed causing us to be late some mornings. The towns we visited were not followed in sequence per itinerary which caused confusion. We understand that changes are inevitable. Our complaint is the lack of communication. TourRadar: please do not recommend Europamundo to english-speaking clients. Their main clientele are the Spanish-speakers.Show moreEuropamundo commented on this reviewGreetings from Europamundo Vacations customer service!
