The tour guide was very helpful but he can talk under water. He was very informative. The countries visited were amazing but … very rushed in every place.. you do get free time in some areas.. if you have a budget? Ensure you book the extra tours as they are costly and blow out any budget ! The hotels are beautiful.. lots of time on the coach, so make sure you chose someone to sit with that you get along with, cause they are next to you the entire trip and there is no changing. You can’t eat or drink on the coach either!!
The tourist consultant, Dino, was exceptionally experienced, knowledgeable, helpful and responsible. The coach driver was also very polite and helpful. All the local tourist ...read more guides were also experienced and well presented. Out of the 43 tourists, I would say eighty percentage came from America, only 4 from Melbourne and two from New Zealand. We got along very well during our whole trip. The coach was very good except the wifi was sometimes very weak or disconnected. My husband and I joined in most of the excursions. Though they were not very cheap they were worth joining especially the concentration camp excursion. Most of the buffet breakfasts and the included dinners were of good standard. All the accommodations were centrally located so very convenient to find nice restatements, department stores and train stations.
I found your company , Global Journeys, trustworthy and well organised, and most importantly you offer good discounts to all tours and flights. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends.
