Thank you for sharing your photos and experience during your Mediterranean Highlights trip. We're glad to learn that your Travel Director presented this exciting itinerary so well. We have noted your comments regarding the pace of the itinerary; however, we always strive to include the perfect amount of time at each location for in-depth discovery to showcase the best of Europe. That said, we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again; until then, we remain committed to our guests.

this was my second tour with Trafalgar. I was not as happy on this tour. I got tired of the "history lesson" every morning on the coach.Some times the tour director treated us like school children spending a lot of time marking our maps. Some of the hotels were not that good especially in Zaragoda,Spain, and florence,Italy. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain and I feel that there could have been alternative plans put in place. The diver never talked much and was not that willing to help some of us off the coach!!! Many times we felt the tour director was running a race and also taking us to the large market in Barcelona at 4:30 PM when all residents were crowding the market. It was better when we visited the market in the morning on a previous tour. Show more

We had an amazing time. Wasn't expecting to fall in love with Spain, what a beautiful country!. Italy was so special. Rome, the history and meaning, so emotional and overwhelming. It rained in Monaco unfortunately but we'll just have to go back. The rest of the time in France was beautiful. We had a great group, met lifelong friends for sure!. Our TD was different from other TDs i've had, he (Gerry) is from another planet for sure, operates on another level. What an amazing person. I only hope I'm half as good at my job as he is.Show more
