I did not like this tour. I am an experienced traveler who uses tours as an efficient way to see a lot in a short tine and often it is cheaper than doing things individually. These are places i wanted to see and the timing was good so i signed up for it. I found this was a tour for people who dont want to experience differences in cultures. We ate at US time.. when places were empty. We were treated like we were idiots. For many in the grouo; it was fine but i leave the US to get away from people like this. Some hotels were ok.. locations could have been better, some had the charm of a Motel 6. Meals provided were bland American style food in fact i skipped some and went off on my oen. I will never take another Trafalgar tourShow more
