- SJStarr· November 30th, 2024That’s all they do is try to upsell overpriced optional tours. You have very little time to spend at each location before moving on. If you want to be squeezed into a bus seat for almost 8 hours a day, take a bus tour. Also, don’t let Trafalger book your airfares unless you want the most indirect routes with worst airlines and deal with lost luggage.Show more
