Whether you\u2019re a potential or past guest, perhaps you\u2019ve been wondering what is it that makes a Trafalgar tour so special?

Relax, everything is taken care of <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the moment you arrive to the moment you depart, Trafalgar makes sure everything is taken care of. Beyond your dedicated Travel Director, our guests have an on-road team helping everyone move from A to B while having a blast. You can expect 24\/7 travel expertise and guidance at every step. Let\u2019s hear what our past guests think\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe big advantage is not to stress or worry about the particulars\u2026 Trafalgar will take care of all of that for you,\u201d said Jasha, one of the winners of our Trafalgar Unlocked Awards. \u201cListen to is what your Travel Director tells you each day. They\u2019ll tell you what you need to know for the next 24 hours or two days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe beauty of traveling this way is all the stress is taken off you. The hotels are taken care of, the luggage is taken care of \u2013 the only thing you need to worry about is listening. It does really remove the stress. Ultimately, just book it, just do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At our very first comfort stop we lost my daughter Madeline\u2019s cell phone,\u201d says Mary-Kathryn, who joined a Trafalgar tour with her family. \u201cThe [Travel Director] Martin quickly jumped into action. He ran back inside and asked everybody \u2013 and he found it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe saved my life because I was the one who lost it! I would never have been forgiven by my daughter. Imagine a teenager without their phone on a tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is the value of Trafalgar \u2013 the guides they go above and beyond. I will be forever grateful to Martin who was kind, informative and so organized.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our guide Bernard was phenomenal!\u201d said Kim who joined us on the Irish Experience<\/a> trip. \u201cHe managed to make everyone on the tour feel valued. His sense of humour added to his knowledge of Ireland.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Any time I can visit a church or cathedral in Europe it is special,\u201d said past guest Anne. \u201cMy trip to Assisi was one of my favorites. The local guide was amazing. He introduced our group to the man who takes care of the cathedral. His love for the church, the upkeep and his memories brought tears to my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This photo was taken in front of Blarney Castle \u2013 the day that my daughter and I officially became friends with our fellow traveler, Kate from Australia!,\u201d said Susan who joined us on our Irish Highlights<\/a> trip. \u201cWhile the entire trip was wonderful, having this lasting friendship is priceless. The value of travel is not only the destinations, but meeting the people along the way!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"David's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Our guide took us into a local farmers market, not a place that most tourists get into,\u201d said David who choose to travel with Trafalgar on the Best of Portugal<\/a> trip. \u201cHe knew several of the vendors and was able to give us a real taste of the local culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I took a work friend who had never been to Europe to see the Christmas Markets,\u201d said past guest Margaret who chose to travel with Trafalgar on our special Christmas Markets of Austria, Germany and Switzerland<\/a> tour. \u201c[It\u2019s] a unique time of the year for celebrations, snow and music!

“We always recommend touring with Trafalgar, the best value for money in the world!\u201d said Diane who joined us on the Best of Greece<\/a> tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been on a few tours with Trafalgar now, but we absolutely loved our tour through Greece! The [Travel Director] Moraigh was very professional and the bus driver Stephanos was amazing and kept us safe.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the winners of our Trafalgar Unlocked Awards, Madeline said she couldn\u2019t sum up a Trafalgar tour in three words\u2026 and needed three sentences. Here\u2019s what she thinks\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very well organised. They give you the right amount of time that you need in each place, and they give you that flexibility. If you want to relax you can, but if you want to go hard and see absolutely everything and cram it all in you can,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very well balanced,\u201d her partner Jasha added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd fun,\u201d Madeline said. \u201cAnd you meet great people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our favorite moment on the tour was visiting Venice \u2013 experiencing a gondola ride with other fellow travelers on the Grand Canal and seeing the Renaissance and Gothic palaces, Central Square, Piazza San Marco and St Mark\u2019s Basilica,\u201d said past guest Lynne who choose to travel with Trafalgar on our Traditional Europe<\/a> tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lynne<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would highly recommend Trafalgar Tours as they are excellent value for money. The guides and bus driver were highly informative, meals were excellent and at all times we felt safe during the tour.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsible travel at heart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of our tours now include MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae experiences, and our business follows a five-year sustainability strategy called How We Tread Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Valerie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Trafalgar surprised us during our Best of Greece<\/a> tour,\u201d past guest Valerie said. \u201cThey wanted to MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae and did by giving us a sweet taste of the work done in environmental education by the Grecian apiculturists at Moka Honey.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love to make our guests feel extra special, and so we empower our Travel Directors to go off-book and bring a touch of magic to every Trafalgar tour. Let\u2019s hear what that\u2019s like in action\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur guide, Craig, had found out my birthday was on the last day of the trip,” past guest Nancy said. “We had already celebrated another person\u2019s birthday at the start of our trip with a very public display of cake and singing at a local restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCraig was thoughtful enough to ask me first if I wanted to celebrate my birthday with the group in a similar way. I told him no \u2026 and he understood and respected my wishes, however, he quietly and discreetly made sure I had a present from him on my special day \u2013 a Swarovski crystal-decorated pen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sheila<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we have travelled many times with Trafalgar over the years, this trip to the Balkans was most memorable as we celebrated our 25th anniversary in 2017,\u201d said past guests Sheila and Serge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur wonderful tour director went above and beyond to make this trip so special for us. Upon arrival in Zagreb, at our welcome reception, Jasmina surprised us with a personalized local souvenir typical to Croatia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
