An excellent well organised holiday with a good guide. Good food and wine which was just what we needed at xmas
everything smoothly from start to finish and was accurate as stated in the brochure
The guide, Doug Walker, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and looked after us extremely well. The tour was well organised and the coaches were comforable and the drivers helpful and always on time. The hotels were in a good location and the food was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour or go again.
The tour was a nice sample of all that there is to see. I knew I didn't have the time to really explore everything that could take months to do it the way I would want to. The tour was fun we had a great group of people and our tour manager Peter Scott was terrific. Taking care of every need and really bringing to life the history of each stop.
This holiday was exceptional value for money and exceptionally well organised - you get a lot for your money!
