    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are thrilled that our Travel Director was able to provide you with such an excellent experience during your time in Europe. We recognise that no one knows how to create a better experience for our guests than our dedicated Travel Directors, and we are happy that their professionalism shined throughout your trip and helped you and all our valuable guests in making it such a memorable trip. We recognise that our European Whirl may seem a little more fast-paced than our other itineraries; however, exploring so many captivating destinations in a snapshot of time can be quite an adventure, and we always strive to include the perfect amount of time at each location for some in-depth discovery. We are, without a doubt, happy to have been given the opportunity to host you with Trafalgar, and we hope to welcome you back to travel with us again soon.

    Thank you for your feedback and sharing your photos with us. We aim to provide the best travel experience for our guests, and it is only through your valuable feedback that we can continue improving the standards we are known for. To help our guests get the best out of their destination in the snapshot of time they have, some of our trips may include early starts and late nights so that we can showcase and access many of the country’s great sites. Our team strives to provide the most unique and enjoyable guided trips for all our guests, and we’re saddened to read that you feel we missed the mark in this instance. We understand that an active itinerary can be very tiring. Our sister company, Insight Vacations, features a balanced itinerary that does not include too many steps, and the maximum walking per day for our European Dream is from 1.6 – 4.8km per day, and it might involve some uneven surfaces, such as cobblestones and stairs. That said, we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future; in the meantime, please know that we are committed to providing the best possible experience for our guests.

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten January 2024

      Gold Rated tour's have great reviews and the tour operators respond quickly to any and all inquiries. Platinum Rated tours go above this. They have the HIGHEST review scores and respond even more quickly.

    • V

      Valerie

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      are the two ratings more about inquiry response than actual tour quality like accommodation, food, activities?

    • V

      Valerie

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      can you help me choose between four tours: 1. Classic Europe - 14 Days by Expat Explore Travel (Gold), 2. European Whirl (Summer, End London, 13 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum), 3. European Whirl (Summer, End Paris, 14 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum), 4. European Whirl (Summer, End Paris, 12 Days) by Trafalgar (Platinum)

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten January 2024

      I would recommend the European Whirl tour. It offers quality service and better/centrally located hotels than the Classic Europe tour. All European Whirl tours will be similar, with slight differences. Tour 3 will have 2 nights in London. Tour 4 will not have London included and you join the group in London in the morning and then head to Amsterdam.
