Trafalgar takes really good care of you and they resolve any problems that arise. W was impressed by the way we were treated. The extra side trips were well worth the money. I will definitely look into them again. The food and accommodations were all top notch. The trip was fantastic. Our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* and our bus driver took very good care of us. Even though there’s a lot of walking, the sites that we seen were really great. We did not have a bad meal or any bad experience. I would highly recommend this to anybody.
