    · March 22nd, 2024
    From beginning to end and the 12 days in between Trafalgar had every detail of the very busy touring schedule carefully planned. Instructions were repeated numerous times so there was no doubt when to meet for guided tour. Free time was given at each tour site after being guided, with instructions when to re group. touring was thorough main historic sights were included with trip package. There were numerous optional experiences averaging about $100 US each. Arriving at hotel late and very tired we DID NOT have to stand in line to get checked in, we were pre checked in. On arrival handed our keys and directly to room. End of trip transfer to airport was organized and stress free.
