    Thank you for your feedback during your time in Europe. We understand that you may have felt that the itinerary felt rushed; however, exploring so many captivating destinations in a limited time can be quite an adventure. We always strive to include the perfect amount of time at each location for in-depth discovery, and there are certain towns where we wish to stay longer. Nonetheless, we value your feedback and have shared your concerns with our Product Development team as we constantly strive to improve our product based on our guests' input. That said, we hope you made some beautiful memories during your time with us in Europe.

    Please allow us to express our sincere regret that you were not able to complete this trip due to the tragic death of your father, we are very sorry to hear of your loss. However, it is stated in our terms and conditions that there is no refund for absence or early departure from a guided holiday. It is for this reason that Trafalgar strongly suggests that our guests purchase comprehensive travel insurance prior to their departure in the unlikely event that such instances occur. As such, we would advise that you contact your travel insurance to inquire to see if they are able to assist concerning this. Nonetheless, we hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you on one of our guided holidays in the future.

    Thank you for having taken the time to share your feedback. We always like to know where we are going right and where we could be making improvements. We recognise that you would have liked for some of the Optional Experiences to have been included in the itinerary; however, we offer these to allow our guests to explore further or to give those that would prefer to undertake independent sightseeing or leisure time, the opportunity to do so. That said, if there are any doubts about our Optional Experiences, their full details and prices can be found either on the Trafalgar website, in our brochure or in the information pack that is sent to each of our guests before the start of every trip. We do encourage our guests to familiarise themselves with these so as to avoid any potential disappointment once the trip is already underway. Despite this, we are pleased to know that our Coach Driver has provided a more accurate representation of the quality of our standards; and we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights from your time away with us.

    Thank you for sharing your review of the European Highlights guided vacation with Trafalgar. While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed your trip overall, it's disappointing to read about your experience with the hotel staff in Germany. We expect the service from the hotel staff to be customer service oriented, and for the presentation and atmosphere of the establishment to reflect the high standards that Trafalgar is recognised for. As such, we have already shared your concerns with our Contracting Team for their review. Despite this, we hope your experiences in Europe were exceptionally uplifting and inspired the creation of many endearing memories.
