    Dear Lauri, Thank you for sharing your input about the tour with us, We are mindful of the aspects of your tour that did not meet your expectations. It is our paramount objective to offer our passengers the utmost flexibility during their journeys. This commitment means that different segments of each circuit may be chosen by our passengers. Consequently, if one passenger commences their journey at point A, another may conclude their tour at the same point or opt for an alternative destination. This dynamic necessitates the allocation of passengers to different hotels and the adjustment of buses for those continuing their journey to varying destinations. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. To ensure the smooth progression of the tour, all our guides hold a minimum B2 (Upper Intermediate) English certificate. This certification guarantees their ability to engage seamlessly in conversations with passengers, express themselves fluently, and narrate historical accounts. Should a passenger encounter difficulty understanding the guide, they are encouraged to request clearer communication or contact our emergency numbers. If the issue persists, we can arrange for a guide reassignment. Regrettably, no communications were received from your end via our emergency 24/7 hotline and WhatsApp. Consequently, we were unable to address your concerns, We apologize for the inconvenience. Guides are allowed to smoke in their free time and we do not impose restrictions on their personal freedom. Once again, we thank you for providing us with your feedback to help us to continue to improve. Europamundo team
