Do we need to book optional extras prior to the tour or can we select while on the tour?

The optional experience will be purchase directly through the travel director during the tour using either cash or credit card.

Is passport valid for only 2 months prior to trip an issue?

Passport should be valid for at least six months beyond the conclusion of your trip. Given the passport will only be valid for two months prior to the trip, it might not meet entry requirements for some countries.

Could you please let me know which airport we arrive and depart

The Rome airport will be at Leonardo Da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FCO) and the London airport are Heathrow Airport (LHR) or London Gatwick Airport (LGW).

On this tour how much time is there in London.

You will arrive in London on day 11 and will have that day to explore London. The adventure then ends on day 12 in London. If you would like to spend more time in London we would be able to organize a day or two of post-accommodations so you can explore the city on your own.

What considerations do I need to take when booking my flights? Does the tour provide transport to/from specific airports, and what is a suggested arrival/departure time? As a solo traveler how will this affect my participation in the tour, with regard to things like accommodations and similar? Is there an opportunity to launder clothing during the tour?

Yes, we do provide transfers for our guests. Complimentary arrival transfers depart Leonardo Da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport at 09:30, 12:30, and 15:30 on the first day of the tour. Complimentary departure transfer arrives at Charles De Gaulle International Airport on the last day of the tour at 08:00. You can book a single room or do a twin-shared room; a twin-share means you will have a roommate of the same gender. Most hotels offer a laundry service; in some cities, laundromats are also available.

Is this tour available in May 2024?

We have an available European Splendour tour that has a tour date from the 2nd to the 13th of May 2024. The twin-room accommodation costs $4,850 per person.

There would be 2 adults and 2 children on this tour. Would the twin room accommodate four passengers, and if yes, is it big enough to fit all of the passengers with separate beds? Or will the adults be in one room, and the 2 children be in a different room?

The twin room will not be big enough for 4 of you. You will be taking two twin rooms and each room should have 1 adult, if staying with children under the age of 18.

Atrocious. Spent over 3K on a CostSaver/Trafalgar recommended store, despite it being 500% more than other stores because "we will assist if something goes wrong." Well something has gone wrong, and NO assistance. Over priced tours considering nothing is included, and thus you MUST do the "optionals." No choice as hotels are in the middle of no where. Hotels also lack a lot of facilities and when I queried this, the answer was "we prefer to support small family hotels as they have good service." Ok fine, but I would also like more than toast for brekky, and maybe a decent window in my bedroom. They have also contacted me via socials wanting to post some of my pictures: great. But perhaps also respond to my feedback, one of which actually needs URGENT action.Show more

Thank you for sharing your concerns here with us. We regret to note that you may have felt that no assistance was provided by our Guest Relations Department, as indeed, they have been in direct contact with you, and have been doing their utmost to address your issue for some time now. Nevertheless, we regret that this has not resolved your concerns thus far, and we hope the team will be able to do so un due course.
