Professionally organized and managed adventure. Tour Director Michael provided excellent support to all members of tour. Explained in clear detail each days events and how we were to prepare for all events. No confusion. Michael had plenty of energy to keep us going. Throwing in lots of surprises such as local bakery items to enjoy and sampling delicious liqueurs on the way. Great sense of humour and many activities on bus to keep entertained. Itinerary was very comprehensive, including city escapades, fine dining, rural adventures and wonderful scenery through Finland and Norway. Excellent bus drivers throughout trip with special mention to Darek who did bulk of driving. We all felt safe with Darek at the wheel.Show more

Extremely bad experience with Trafalgar. I booked a tour to Peru with Ecuador extension. My visa never came through but they took 80% of the tour fees ie more $3000 as cancellation fee. The service agent was aware that I applied 3 months in advance for the visa abd I requested her not to pay so much in advance but she forced me and then grabbed $3000+ as cancellation fee. On top of that they are now playing games to give back the small $1000 credits . It’s been 5 weeks and they keep making excuses abd all kinds of appalling mistakes and till date not returned even the small credit due back . Agent Shweta is so poor in customer service . Overall just horrible experienceShow more
