What our guests say

“As this was my first experience with a guided tour I really did not know what to expect. Sure, I had heard from friends that had traveled with Trafalgar and other tour companies to expect to see a lot, have a good time and be on the move. What I did not expect was the vast amount of knowledge and history that Paolo would share with us about each location we were visiting or passing through. 

"It’s all well and good to see beautiful things and places but to learn about the inhabitants, the culture, the history, the specialties of the region, right down to the various income streams for each, the who, what, why and when just elevated the experience to a completely different level. I expected that in-depth info from our local experts who toured us around specific areas and sites but it was quite amazing to hear the extensive amount of information that came from Paolo specifically.”

“In September 2010 my husband and I did our first European Trafalgar tour, "Italian Concerto". We loved everything about our time in Italy with Trafalgar and in no small measure because of the energy, knowledge, organizational and people skills of our tour director, Dominic Harris. I was amazed at how quickly he was able to meld a group of strangers into" Dominic’s family" and deal with any minor issue that arose with a sense of humor.

"Thus it was an easy decision to begin our six weeks in Europe this past May with Trafalgar’s "Best of France" tour. We were confident that we would have a good time and that we would again have the guidance of a knowledgeable, well-trained tour director. However, we were sure there could not be another one of Dominic Harris’s caliber.

"Then we met our tour director, Mark Gascoigne. Once again we were led by a well-educated, knowledgeable, well-organized person who has exceptional people skills and a great sense of humor. Of particular benefit was Mark’s knowledge of World War II history as our time in Normandy at Omaha Beach had very special significance for us. How blessed we were to have him with us!

"Either, we were very fortunate in drawing these two men as our tour directors or they are typical of the caliber of people that Trafalgar hires for this position. I suspect, and hope, it is the latter. Regardless, please know this: Dominic Harris is the reason we did not hesitate to book a second European tour and Mark Gascoigne is the reason we would most certainly book another one in the future."

“Our coach driver Raimond was an extremely competent driver and especially in Russia, no wonder there is the term Russian Roulette!! He was great in loading and unloading our heavy luggage day in and day out.

"All these people work hard behind the scenes after we all get off the bus at the end of the day, many hours are spent talking and organizing things with the hotels etc, we do not all get to see this side of things, so thank you all once again for the hard work and making everything comfortable for us all, and for Trafalgar in selecting the hotels that we stay in.”
