What people love about 2-week Austria, Italy and Switzerland tours
- Central Europe
I booked the 14-day Central Europe tour for my parents who are 68 and 65 years old. They wanted to see as much as they can but within a reasonable pace, which I think this tour has delivered. They could not stop raving about their experience, from the destinations, to the activities, the accommodations, and most importantly the guides. The optional activities also allowed for flexibility with tourists of different interests and budgets. They particularly loved the experiences such as the Swarovski Museum and all the activities in Italy. I was worried at first that this tour was going to be too much for my parents as it was quite long and had a lot of destinations, but the guides and bus drivers were very caring and accommodating to them. They also managed to make a lot of friends along their journey, which is always a huge plus. I highly recommend this tour to everyone looking to explore Central Europe, whether you're doing it on your own or you're looking to book it for someone else.
Well planned , great tour leaders , coach drivers and transport excellant . All hotels and breakfast barr one were terrific , very comfortable. Highly recommend . 2nd holiday through tourradar . I'll be back .
