1 This was a seriously badly planned out of season tour. No plans were made for the fact that this was out of season This resulted in us facing closures of advertised attractions, restaurants and facilities. 2) In nearly all cases we were accommodated in 2nd rate tourist hotels often with very small pokey rooms. Not the standard I expect form GRJ. 3) In most hotels we were only offered fixed No food choice menu and poor quality food. I am 71 not 7 , I expect some choice. In spite of prewarning GRJ that my wife can’t eat fish this was not passed on. Many meals were fish with no alternative offered. The tour manager had to intervene with my wife getting afterthought food. 4 This was advertised as a Rail tour but we spent over 35 hours on a bus. There was no warning of this. I would not have booked this tour if that amount of coach travel had been advertised up front. I feel seriously let down by this omission. 5) in a number of cases we were left without a prearranged meal where we had to fend for ourselves in towns where most restaurants were closed either because it was out of season or too late in the evening.

Beautiful scenery but very long day’s traveling. We were unlucky that 3 rail journeys were replaced by coach.

Fantastic tour, Carolyn was a Fantastic tour Manager, the best tour manager I have ever had from all the travelling I've done over the years. I was disappointed that we did not go on the Inlandsbann as it was a 'Rail' journey, we should of been advised before the trip started. The tour bus driver did take some risks a few times - was aggressive, a bit scary at times. Otherwise we had a lovely trip.
