Tour was great, ITA airlines on the way there... the stewards were horrible. Bathrooms were terrible and dirty. One would think it would be attended to at some points. 8 hours in the air? Terrible. My luggage was lost. I will never use ITA again. Tour guide was fabulous. It was very well organized. Every moment was great.

Our tour manager Giorgio was a fabulous tour guide, with great foodie experience recommendations at every stop. I only wish our package had included a tour of the Colleseum.

Time allotted for personal exploration and shopping. I loved all of the scarves, especially the outdoor kiosks in Florence. Also, I was fascinated by the old medieval sections of the towns and cities we toured. Sampling local cuisine was also a favorite.

I loved the last 2 days of our trip. Cascais was so beautiful. A lot of walking but it was well worth it.

Great tour guide. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Great accommodations. Great bus driver. Plenty of time on our own. Honestly, The only negative experience was the flight home with KLM who partners with Delta. Had to pay extra to get a decent seat. A handicapped individual and their spouse in our group didn’t do online check in the night before and KLM sold their ticket and left them stranded. Ticket was paid for and should have been reserved. I would highly reconsider a future trip if KLM were involved.

I enjoyed every aspect except the weather. Our tour manager was phenomenal. I can't imagine a better experience. The restaurants she chose for us were wonderful as well as our accommodations. Except the Radisson. I had tiny flying bugs in my room. The experiences that I signed up for were top notch. I would have liked to have done the wine tour, but hand out said no other beverages would be served. I'm not a drinker. After talking to guests that did that tour, there were other beverage options. I would not aware of all the people that needed to be tipped. I was not prepared cash wise to pay everyone. That should be spelled out, clearly at the very beginning of the information. So when I exchanged money at the bank, I would've had enough. Jo our tour manager was brilliant.

A great introduction to the city of London. Tours, transportation and accommodations were all well organized! Our Tour Manager, Astrid was an excellent host. She really made us all feel welcome to the city and was very generous with insider tips to explore on our own. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time on this tour with too many favorites to limit it to just one! Rome, Venice, and Switzerland were our favorite stops.

The hotel we stayed in for 3 nights my room did. Ot have hot water. Took cold showers for 3 days. Also, NEVER make a group have a six hour layover anywhere! That was horrible! Also, fix the tip cost into price of tour so tge traveler does not have to worry about the tips!
