“Walking in Europe with the timed tickets booked at release”
A walking operator whose main skill is administrative: Alhambra slots, Sagrada tickets and hut beds, booked the day they open.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Recommended.
Krakow & the Tatras done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. No hesitation recommending them.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Krakow & the Tatras done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Would send friends their way.
Krakow & the Tatras done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

As a memorial, not a sight. Entry is free but slots must be booked well ahead and an educator is required for groups. It takes three and a half hours, photography is restricted in parts, and the itinerary deliberately leaves the afternoon empty afterwards.
