trafalgar tours
 
I am thinking about taking a tour (to Greece) with Trafalgar tours. Anyone have any experience with them - good or bad?<BR>thanks<BR>Lisa

Lisa<BR><BR>I've taken 2 tours with Trafalgar and enjoyed both very much. The first one was 12 days in Italy which were pure heaven! I saw and did so much it would have been impossible to accomplish the same things on my own in the same period of time.<BR><BR>The 2nd tour was Central Europe and that was also great! On my tour of Greece I went with Go-Ahead Vacations. No complaints there either.<BR><BR>I am thinking of taking another with Trafalgar to the Italian Lakes region in the fall. <BR><BR>If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e-mail me. <BR><BR>Sue

Lisa.<BR>If you do a Search on this board you will find lots of prior postings about Trafalgar and other Tours.<BR>We did a six week trip with them in 1999 which we enjoyed tremendously. The only drawback we found, and this is commented on a lot in other postings, is that the majority of the hotels were out of the CBD of most cities, which made it difficult to get about on our own.when there was time. Otherwise, we would recommend them highly.

Hi Lisa why don't you check out their bulletin board - its fairly active. I did their Best Of France tour last Year & loved it! I would go for their 1st class tours due to better hotel locations.<BR>http://www.trafbb.com/cgi/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi<BR>

Lisa, I have taken two Trafalgar tours, one of France and Spain, the other of China and Hong Kong (although the Chinese gov't actually ran the tour). I think it all depends on your tour guide. I have had good guides and bad ones. My tour guide for France and Spain was a harsh task master who cracked the whip, and god help you if you were late for the bus!!!!!
