It was my first group tour I had ever signed up for, so I was initially a little nervous. However our tour guide was well organized and had great energy. I loved learning the history of the small towns as well seeing the French Christmas markets along the way! I got very lucky to have a good group of fellow travelers from the all around the world and had a great adventure. I will say I wasn’t crazy about the small beds at all our hotels, but that’s not really their fault. It hasn’t deterred me from looking at tours for 2026! Make sure you have a good winter coat and walking boots if you plan to do markets next year. Highly recommend!Show more

The experience of this trip was utterly extraordinary. Ryan and Marcos made the trip an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the outset, Ryan made everyone so comfortable and that allowed strong bonds to form throughout the travel group. Overall the trip allowed myself to form genuine bonds with people from differing corners of the world, whilst also seeing the various beautiful landscapes and architecture that Europe has in multitudes.Show more
