    I actually did this trip 2 years ago now, and am coming back later to comment on it because it was just THAT good. It was my first tour, and I’ve since done 3 others. None have compared to this one! The itinerary was perfect, our guide Meg was the best I’ve ever had, and I had some of the most incredible experiences of my life. Definitely do all the added activities! Seriously can’t recommend this trip enough.

    This was the absolute BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! Anne-Elyse was the greatest tour guide!! The banter was unreal, her knowledge of each place we went was virtually limitless, AND she was the greatest to party with!! Could not recommend this trip or our tour guide more, it's worth every penny! (and to people who are complaining about 'hidden costs,' they're clearly stated before you even book your trip so inform yourself and then try and save the extra money because every optional activity makes the trip 10x better, you're only in Europe once and you want to leave with #noregrets remember!!!

    Sian was incredible! If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have learnt so much about Europe and I probably wouldn't have made it home and on a few occasions thanks for the help Sian :)
