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.

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.

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.
