Great tour! *Personal information removed by Feefo* (the tour director) and *Personal information removed by Feefo* (driver), were always “spot on”. They kept us on schedule (sort of like trying to herd cats!) and everyon had a fantastic time. Fantastic tour! Tour Director *Personal information removed by Feefo* was upbeat, knowledgeable and fun to be around! He convinced us to try a few things we would have overlooked; and the experiences were priceless! A truly memorable trip and we will be doing more!

Imperial Europe Tour, April-May 2024 -Well Done!TD *Personal information removed by Feefo* was outstanding. I have taken many Trafalgar tours and most of the TDs were very good. TD *Personal information removed by Feefo* was the best of them all! A+++ service! The coach driver was excellent with his maneuvering the bus in tight situations. A terrific crew. A very busy tour packed with visits to all the beautiful cities and sights I wanted to see. Budapest and Vienna were my favorite cities. Bavaria is gorgeous. TD *Personal information removed by Feefo* was superb - expert knowledge of the areas visited, well organized and a fun guy! He took great care to ensure everyone was having a wonderful time. Local guides provided interesting, in-depth histories. Overall, a most enjoyable trip!

Well-organized tour of Central Europe's highlights. Easy to reach out to Trafalgar via email. Well-organized tour! Tour lets you see the highlights of Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg and Munich. Our travel director (*Personal information removed by Feefo*) took good care of us and we had a safe trip throughout thanks to our driver (*Personal information removed by Feefo*). Enjoyed the optional experiences we joined! In some cities, after the sightseeing tour with our group, there is free time to roam and a coach is available to bring you back to the hotel. Not quite happy though with the location of our hotels in Vienna & Munich as we were far from the city center but the hotels were nice & breakfast was good! Didn't also enjoy the welcome dinner as we were expecting really delicious meals to jumpstart our journey. Coach does not have USB ports or foot rests but wifi and power sockets were provided.

A fun and memorable experience. Our tour director, *Personal information removed by Feefo*, did an amazing job telling us the history of locations and she was a very fun tour director to follow for the entire trip. What surprised me the most was how much she cared about the well-being of her group, from the moment we met all the way to the last day, where she bid a finally farewell at the airport. It was clear that she enjoys her job and loved sharing her knowledge with her group. Our driver *Personal information removed by Feefo*, was also an unexpectedly fun driver. While taking us to location to location safely and on time, he had fun with the round abouts making a great addition memory on the trip. It was a wonderful 10 days. While the weather was on the rainy and cold side - it being April of course - the places we visited were still beautiful. Visiting 5 countries and 8 cities was exciting and there was so much to see and eat. The included city tours were knowledgeable and I enjoyed the free time we were given to explore ourselves. The optional experiences was also fun and definitely unique experiences that we thought were worth. I liked the touch of culture shared from them. With the meals, they were a nice introduction to local cuisines and they were very tasty. We were full from all our meals and satisfied. The breakfast in the hotels were wonderful and enjoyable as well. Another surprise to me, was the other guests on the trip. In the 10 days we were together, it was fun to get to know them and they were part of making a memorable experience. Friendly and excited themselves, they were a joy to travel with. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable trip. We were well taken care of and the places we visited were unique and memorable. I would definitely consider going back with Trafalgar for a well planned holiday.

Amazing Trip! I have been with others tours in the past as well as many cruises. My daughter and I decided to go with Trafalgar since it was recommended to us. I had expectations prior to the trip but never expected this trip to be so fabulous! The hotels, the food, the tours, the information about all the countries was right on point. We were also given time to do some shopping and try the food, beverages and delicious desserts in each country. I love the idea of being immerse in the culture by learning not only about the country, but also their music and food. Vienna was a great example as we attended a Concert of Classical Music. I enjoyed very much the service provided by Trafalgar during the Optional Tours by arranging for private cruises at the Vltava River in the Czech Republic and the Danube River in Budapest. I truly loved this itinerary! Munich, Regensburg, Prague, Budapest, Slovakia, Vienna and Salzburg are beautiful cities. The architecture will leave you speechless. Learning about the history of each country was an enlightenment. Trafalgar does a very good job getting you immerse in the culture and food of the different countries. My favorite cities were Prague and Budapest. The Charles Bridge with all the Baroque statues and the Hungarian Parliament Building were stunning. I enjoyed our Tour Guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* and our Bus Operator *Personal information removed by Feefo*. Justine provided us with all the necessary information so we would a wonderful time. *Personal information removed by Feefo* made sure we arrived safe at every location. The hotels selected were all very nice as well as the breakfasts and dinners at each location. Our group of travelers got along well so this made the experience fun for everyone.

TERRIFIC Trafalgar Tour. A truly Top Notch service throughout the entire Imperial Europe Tour. The Travelling Team planned every details meticulously, sufficient times given to ensure we were never rushed in any of the stops. Thank you *Personal information removed by Feefo*, *Personal information removed by Feefo* and all the Regional Experts. Trafalgar Tour offers a great mix of Included itineraries and optional tour enhancements. The entire trip was organized to perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed the private lunch and dinner cruises in Prague and Budapest, the experienced Tour Director and Coach Driver and Regional Experts, and the many many wonderful sights and sceneries throughout Central Europe. We look forward to travel with Trafalgar Tour again.

Well-organized tour of Central Europe's highlights. The itinerary was well planned, however the schedule was too tight. It would be good to stay 3 nights in each country.
