    Amazing Experience

    I had an absolutely amazing trip. The tour guide, Antonio, and the driver, Victor, were absolutely fantastic. I met a lot of great people on the bus, and there was no way I could ever experience, everything I did without being a part of the tour. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone and will be planning another one soon!

    Great Experience

    We had a great experience with this Tour. The locations were great, and we covered a lot of places and experienced a lot of things in a short period of time. The optional excursions were also excellent and worth it. Overall it was a very well-run tour. The tour leader, Antonio and the driver, Victor were amazing and very passionate about ensuring we had the best experience possible. Antonio is very experienced and ran everything very smoothly and always had a plan B ready if circumstances changed. He knew where the best spots would be to see things and take excellent pictures. And Victor was an excellent driver in all places we went to, streets of Paris, mountain of Switzerland etc. Both were great people to be on the tour with.

Yum!
We (family of 4) went on this coach trip not quite knowing what to expect. The thoughts of being on a coach for what seemed an eternity to my husband, were quickly dispelled as Damien (our driver) and Steve (tour leader) were very careful to put in numerous stops that were plenty long enough to walk off any cabin fever. The coach was well appointed with enough leg room and a few spare seats so it didn't feel packed. Seats were comfortable and the charging ports well used by our 16 year old daughter and husband and I. The tour really was a whistle stop in each iconic location, but Steve's knowledge and hints and tips (especially around safety in Paris) were invaluable. My family and I really appreciated the hard work and organisation that Steve was doing in the back ground. Steve's history talk going into Germany was second to none, he presented the 1870's Prussian war, right through to the end of the 2nd World War in a way that that history books cannot, my husband and I are glad our

On this tour, you get to visit so many spectacular places in Europe and more importantly spend the first day of the New Year at the top of Europe.

So if you want to make all your friends and family jealous by how you see in 2025, book this tour now!

Had my doubts about a coach trip before I left but, I had a fantastic time. Very lucky with the group I was with, especially our guide, Caroline! The coach was comfortable but there is a lot of travelling and it majorly cuts into time spent in some amazing places, especially Amsterdam - we could have done so much more there if we got to the city earlier, the hotel was closer to the city, and we had some free time! That aside, it was a fun trip and have no regrets about doing it.
