It was ok. We got what we paid for. I would recommend budgeting 25-30 euros a day for parking - it was much more expensive than we thought and most of the hotels charged extra as well as having to pay for parking at the places visited. Also, make sure that whoever drives is used to driving in tight spaces in cities, has very good parking skills, and is comfortable with roundabouts. We thought we were going to be visiting smaller towns for most of the trip, but all of them were very tight and more urban.Show more
