The offered a taste of so many lovely and intriguing places. My daughter and I loved the tour. Vince was an excellent trip director with cultural and historical knowledge. Francesco was a great driver who kept us safe despite several challenges. The native guides were great, and the bundled transport made it worth switching, although Eskapas was tight-lipped about the plan. The optional trips were more expensive than others, but they fit nicely within the itinerary and museums were seldom crowded. Overall, a great time my daughter and I will always remember.

The tour was nice overall. I would have cut the stop in Switzerland because we were there so briefly. Our tour guide excelled. Fair hotels. Space between seats should have been improved on the tour bus. Good work, bus driver.
