Accommodation was excellent. Rooms, staff and meals on board Avalon were very good. Local guides gave too much information which then tended to wash over people. One guide kept asking questions of the group when no one knew the answer but she kept on persisting. The listening devices constantly received interference from other devices in the area. Tour director was efficient in his role, but seemed to be missing when people wanted some answers in Prague.Show more
