Well organised, efficient tour manager, very comfortable hotels and enjoyable excursions
It gave us a well organised opportunity to see 3 cities in 10 days. Overall, the hotels and tours were of a very good standard for this type of holiday. Our tour manager always on hand to deal with any issues.
On a personal note the journey to the boat and back was hard work. Otherwise the Holiday was excellent.
