    TOUR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. NAMELY SELECTION OF LOCATIONS/COUNTRIES EVENTS/ACTIVITIES, FOOD ACCOMODATION AND EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT CULTURES ETC. EVERY THING WENT ACCORDING TO THE PLAN AND ON TIME. TOUR GUIDE/DIRECTOR (Brad) KNEW EVERY MINUTE DETAIL TO THE DOT AND NEVER HAD A BORING MOMENT. BRAD'S KNOWLEDGE IN EUROPEAN HISYORY IS AMAZING. HIS APPROACH WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, WAS ABLE TO BUILD A TEAM AND KNEW A FEW LANGUAGES AS WELL AND WAS GETTING ON WELL WITH ALL CONCERNED. EVEN THE DIFFICULT MOMENTS WERE HANDLED CALMLY AND PROFESSIONALY. SAFETY, WELLFARE AND FAIRNESS WERE ASSURED, DRIVER WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL TOO. FINALLY EVERY ONE WAS TALKING GOOD ABOUT BRAD AND HIS HARD WORK PAID OFF AND WE ALL WERE HAPPY AT THE END. Thank you very much and last but not least, I won't hesitate to recommend your company and Brad to any one.

    I could not be happier with Costsaver Tours. Our tour guide, Pete, was very informative and made the trip easy on the 'no stress express'. Our driver was also great and navigated around traffic jams to ensure we got maximum time at our locations. Will be booking again.

    This tour was a nice introduction to some iconic cities and sites throughout Europe. Our guide, Andee Percy, was very knowledgeable and provided the historical background to each visited city or site. In addition, all activities were well-coordinated so we moved seemlessly from one place to the other. Although we had to move very early in the morning and with 3 kids too, it paid off as we got to maximize the time at the various locations. All in all, it was a great first experience of Europe.

    Fantastic tour if you want to see all the highlights of Europe and don't mind fast pace. This was perfect for us to see all the historic beauty Europe has to offer.

    Cheryl

    Asked on April 27th, 2025

    I'm looking to book this tour (June 1st) for my parents who are travelling to Europe from New Zealand. I was wondering if it's possible to hold a spot on this tour for 24-48hrs before submitting payment?

    Payments
    Tour Details
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten April 2025

      Because this tour departs in less than 60 days, the only way to secure a space would be to book. We ALWAYS recommend booking the tour before flights anyways. This is because flight/arrival dates are flexible, however, the tour dates are not.

      Cheryl

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      We have been planning to book the June 1st-12th one which ends in Amsterdam as per the itinerary. This is the exact link sometimes details of the tour mentions the end location to be Paris, but the itinerary mentions the end location is Amsterdam - just want to double check which one is correct?

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten April 2025

      Please note that the tour will conclude in Amsterdam.

      Cheryl

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      My parents will be arriving a day earlier than the tour is scheduled to start. I was wondering, is there an option to extend the hotel stay in London 1 day before the tour begins?

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, we do offer additional nights before and after the tour. For pre-accommodation, we provide stays at the Hilton Canary Wharf at a rate of NZD 261.00 per person, per night in a twin room.

    Asked on January 4th, 2023

    I see the price on your list. When I check duration (beginning date and ending date), it is 12 days. I would like to know about the duration is 14 days or 12 days. I am interesting to book 14 days tour.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten January 2023

      The European Experience would be a 12-day trip starting in Amsterdam and ending in Paris for the 2023 year. In 2022 this trip started in London however the itinerary has slightly changed as to the location of the start city and now will start in Amsterdam. If you would like to extend your stay, what some guests will do is book pre and/or post nights. Please be advised that our pre nights would only take place in Amsterdam at the exact same starting hotel and our post nights would only take place in Paris at the exact same ending hotel for the trip.

      The hotel lists would be sent with your travel e-documents approximately 7-10 days prior to the start of the trip. It looks like the start hotel would be at Hilton Olympia Hotel London. Arrival into London can happen at any time.
