    TOUR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. NAMELY SELECTION OF LOCATIONS/COUNTRIES EVENTS/ACTIVITIES, FOOD ACCOMODATION AND EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT CULTURES ETC. EVERY THING WENT ACCORDING TO THE PLAN AND ON TIME. TOUR GUIDE/DIRECTOR (Brad) KNEW EVERY MINUTE DETAIL TO THE DOT AND NEVER HAD A BORING MOMENT. BRAD'S KNOWLEDGE IN EUROPEAN HISYORY IS AMAZING. HIS APPROACH WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, WAS ABLE TO BUILD A TEAM AND KNEW A FEW LANGUAGES AS WELL AND WAS GETTING ON WELL WITH ALL CONCERNED. EVEN THE DIFFICULT MOMENTS WERE HANDLED CALMLY AND PROFESSIONALY. SAFETY, WELLFARE AND FAIRNESS WERE ASSURED, DRIVER WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL TOO. FINALLY EVERY ONE WAS TALKING GOOD ABOUT BRAD AND HIS HARD WORK PAID OFF AND WE ALL WERE HAPPY AT THE END. Thank you very much and last but not least, I won't hesitate to recommend your company and Brad to any one.

    It was a pleasing experience although it was a bit rushed we saw quite a lot of places in 12 days. It was well organised every detail was looked into by director.

    I could not be happier with Costsaver Tours. Our tour guide, Pete, was very informative and made the trip easy on the 'no stress express'. Our driver was also great and navigated around traffic jams to ensure we got maximum time at our locations. Will be booking again.

    This tour was a nice introduction to some iconic cities and sites throughout Europe. Our guide, Andee Percy, was very knowledgeable and provided the historical background to each visited city or site. In addition, all activities were well-coordinated so we moved seemlessly from one place to the other. Although we had to move very early in the morning and with 3 kids too, it paid off as we got to maximize the time at the various locations. All in all, it was a great first experience of Europe.

    Fantastic tour if you want to see all the highlights of Europe and don't mind fast pace. This was perfect for us to see all the historic beauty Europe has to offer. Tour director was amazing having 30yrs with the company and knew so much and she did not stop going out of her way to ensure everyone on board had a wonderful experience.
