    Great experience. Tony was fantastic. Drivers were very experienced. Optional experiences were great opportunities to do things I might not have thought of on my own.

    Me and my partner was devastated with the service offered by the tour director as we did not obtain much local information about the places of interests, language and worse even we did not get clear information of when the meeting time was as it constantly changed. The tour itinerary was good as it covered many places with great scenery, but unfortunately we had to come back and read up many of the local information ourselves. During the trip on the coach, the tour director kept telling us irrelevant stories about other guests from his previous tours before. Additionally, when one of the guests on the tour tried to use the emergency toilets on the tour, the tour director started to relate it to the James Bond movie stating how another driver previously got a fine by releasing the contents of the toilets instead of car petrol which is similar to the movie. Some of the tour members felt really uncomfortable and offended by this. On top of this, we were never told when the next toilet stop would be. I did not expect to this to be on a Trafalgar brand tour, but unfortunately despite previous word of mouth by our family, we do not look forward to signing up on another awful experience again. Not surprisingly, at the end of the trip, the tour director offered free transportation prior to the allocated departure time of 8am to only 3 guests, but when me and my partner asked to join for the same departure as our flights were 15 minutes later from the 3 guests, we were rejected and were told to pay. This made us feel discriminated against. It was not the first time we have experienced discrimination during this tour, as when the tour director passed out the souvenir photographs, he gave the front row couples 2 photos each, but when he came nearer to us he mentioned that he would only provide one per couple, we politely asked for two and then the tour director started questioning me and my partner's relationship status which was irrelevant and disrespectful. It was not only us who got discreminated against, as there was another guest on the tour that was on crutches, when the tour director was asked to slow down slightly, he responded with "they'll catch up". I do not believe this is the service that Trafalgar advertises and endorses, hence I urge them to critically investigate further. The

    Purchased airfare thru company but wasn't told seats couldn't be reserved on Swiss air portion of flight until DAY OF at the airport!!! Would have paid more if I'd been told in advance. Was told by 'manager' twice when complaining about this that excursion vouchers would be added to account. NEVER HAPPENED!! Emailed Trafalgar several times during trip about vouchers and NEVER received a response (even though site said response would be forthcoming in ONE BUSINESS DAY!!). Had asked about time spent on bus and this was misrepresented as well. Hotels during itinerary varied WILDLY from DUMPS to wonderful. Many uncomfortable nights spent without air-conditioning. Felt excursion prices were high based on actual experience received. Would never recommend traveling with Trafalgar!
