It feels like being with family. Details were all thought out and our tour director was knowledgeable, easy going, and capable of improvising/ compensating and considerate of each individual’s particular needs/ preferences. The pace and free time were well thought out. Very good restaurant selections were provided.

Loved being able to travel to a new place where someone else has gone before
and mapped it all out for us. Couple in their 60s
These tours are so enjoyable. Reg is very knowledgeable, gracious and willing to meet all your needs. If you want a small taste of various cities around the world in a short time, this is the trip to take. I have been on two now and loved every minute. Solo traveler in her 70s
