Jacqueline and Rick Davey - Traveled, September 2024
We had a wonderful time on this tour. *Personal information removed by Feefo* our tour director was very professional and knowledgeable. Her thoughtfulness with free time exploring ideas, best shopping tips, recommending local delicacies and the little treats she supplied on the bus were a nice touch. Our drivers were respectful and always offered a hand if anyone needed help off the bus. The local specialists were knowledgeable and we learnt so much because of them. All the cities and towns had so much history and were so beautiful. Our travelling companions were great and made the trip more memorable.

It’s a packed full on itinerary with lots of informative and educational Tours. Having a high quality travel Director who cares enough to teach and high light places as you travel from one place to another is essential and we were lucky to have that in *Personal information removed by Feefo*. We loved bohemian highlights. The river cruise was awesome. Paul always went out of his way to give us extra highlights and information about places, as well as share his gorgeous photos with us especially of the places we were visiting as some days the weather wasn’t as good and so our photos couldn’t turn out as well.

It is certainly a dizzying journey, taking one through six cities and six countries in less than two weeks. We wish we'd had more time in each city, but could never have done so much in so little time without the expert guidance of Trafalgar and our wonderful host Paul.

Oscar - Traveled, April 2025
The trip is very enjoyable and I had a great time. The experiences (included and optional) were fantastic and somewhat exclusive - the river cruise in Budapest in particular was beautiful and because it was private, the experience was not bothered by other tourists. Moving around between cities is a bit long (distance wise) but can't do much about that. And the coach was very comfortable and not too hard to sleep on if necessary. *Personal information removed by Feefo*, the tour director was highly efficient and effective in communicating pick up / drop off times and locations making the trip stress free. He also volunteered his own time to take us on walks to places he believed were worth seeing but not included in the itinerary. He was also personable, funny and knowledgeable of all locations we visited.

It was fast paced and demanding, great hotels and included and optional restaurants. Not impressed with the Auschwitz local guide. She rushed us, did not wait for some of the older travelers. I felt that all she wanted to do was finish the tour. Very disappointing

Bohemian Highlights Tour provides real value for lovers of history, architectural beauty and incredible resilient people and their cultures. The food was amazing and reflected the varied ‘tastes’ of each country. And of course the people… friendly and engaging!! A great two weeks of living a dream!

It was a lot. I liked that we stopped at little towns along the way for breaks and to walk around, much nicer than just visiting big cities. And our tour guide was always able to tell us about the history and special things about the stops. I don't know if we needed to stop at the cobenzl winery near vienna- by then we were tired, and some of us do not drink. Sometimes I wish we had more free time to explore on our own, but then again, I could have not signed up for the excursions. I liked that there were opportunites for a variety of activities.

Two nights is a great way to do it, one travelling and one seeing. *Personal information removed by Feefo* was an excellent director able to maintain control while not being bossy. Leave out the accordion at one of the dinners, found we couldnt talk as it was in a closed space close to many of us, play it at a distance or for a short time is my suggestion and many who were beside me. Guides could be coached on what to deliver, far too many superflous facts that took away from the overall in my opinion. But really was a great trip and glad to have done it, full marks to the Director and Driver.

Jace Cha - Traveled, February 2024
We, a group of 6 friends purposely selected this Trafalgar tour thinking that paying more of what other tour company was offering would include better choice hotels and inclusions. We are very disappointed. The locations we visited were wonderful. The local guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Our main guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was fantastic. She did a wonderful job managing such a big group of us of different age group. One downside is that many essential sightseeing activities are not included in the package and require additional payment. We do expect there will be days with long coach rides to another city. However when there are days where our day start at 8am and finish by 11:30am! A lot of time was wasted having to pick up those who gone for the optionals when the place to visit is just close by! There was inconsistency in the accommodation quality. A few are very nice and comfortable while others are very disappointing for the overall experience. It takes us months, even couple of years to save for a trip like this. Few are single mums doing a well deserved dream holiday in Europe.
