The European Splendour tour is a great experience. Bernie was a perfect tour director and Alessandro a perfect driver. Everything was highly organized, safe, fun and insightful.
European Splendour (End Paris)I enjoyed the entire course of the tour. The only thing i can comment is the location of the hotels that is quite far from the center ie: Milan and Florence. Thanks to google and it was very accurate. We DIY in some of the locations like Paris, Zurich, Rome. The over all coordination is excellent. I commend Bego shes very nice and informative.
