The trip was as amazing!! The most gorgeous scenery on our 8 days in Europe. Guides, Dave & Sophia and driver, Louis, were excellent. The only slight issue was the lower section of the bus was a little warm, but the vents on the upper section worked great! Overall, we would rate this excursion as the BEST of our entire trip!!

Great trip, everything went as the schedule. One feedback is on not able to use the restroom in the busses. In other locations like Germany we didn’t have an issue of that sort. Please get that fixed as it might an issue with not having insurance.

The private tour allowed us to hit the sights we were interested in experiencing. The tour was completely flexible and tailored to our wants. Great experience!!

This trip is a wonderful experience. Saba and the driver Alex was incredible and is very helpful. Thank you

Tandem Paragliding was excellent! Leo and Woeltar were excellent pilots! We will hopefully do this again!
