    The only thing I would have liked to be able to stay longer in places . I could not fault driver or tour guide. In fact the tour guide Steph was absolutely amazing such a wonderful lady and joking with everyone kept the tour very light hearted. Couldn't speak high enough of her.

    Fiona and Steven were the absolute best! Fiona was one of the greatest tour guides I’ve had. This is my first time with trafelgar and they are a major reason I will return. Steven was an amazing driver and I always felt safe. Fiona was so happy, thoughtful, informative and eager to help. She planned so many things for the long bus ride to keep everyone entertained. I’d like to tour with her again!
