We took 6 days 5 night tour of Italy. Overall it was a good experience. It was a bit hectic but covered almost all the major attractions of Italy and in addition Monaco and Nice (France). The tour guide knew his job and provided all the bas..ic information but sometimes he was a bit rude (probably age factor). One thing that we did not like was that the night stays sometimes were in the middle of nowhere with no food choices except what was available in the hotel and no convenience stores nearby. Overall we enjoyed the tour.Read full review
I really loved the itinerary! We visited all major attractions and had plenty of time to enjoy to ourselves. The hotels were great, yet they were far from the city most of the time. The tour guides could improve, but overall it was an amazi..ng experience. Met wonderful people on the tour. Had a great time and would definitely take another tour!Read full review
reservation - you must also take credit card for booking of the tour .transport - bus was comfortable but drivers dont allowed us to use bus toilet at all which should be allowed atleast in cases of emergency.tour guide - since the services.. are being provided by other firm goeurogo .com , as per that during first six days the your guide was excellent named florian but during next half the tour guide was not so good Ho choung. he was rude and also what he speaks was not so clear. accommodation - was the major issues in the tour during first half that is for six days it was good but accommodation starting from Milan onwards till complete italy was very bad , the breakfast was mentioned will be buffet but was not so in all hotels and hotels were far away from the cities . and also the hotels which you mention in your advertisement were never given , some time the tour guide is also not aware about the hotel location and it use to be a big surprise. for example the hotel n venice was completely away from city not even in the limits of municipal cooperation of that city. Therefore if you say venice you must define the limit of that city and hotels should be at least with in 5 km from the main city.tour itinerary - on the day for Switzerland , tour guide should not take people to liechtenstein , you waste a lot of time in that country and finally you hurry so much at mount titlis and waste about 85 euros for nothing , that was the biggest lost we had while reaching at mount titlis we just had one and a half hour with so much of rush at the top , so whenever your tour guide ask you to go this country just say no to it , its waste of money and time both. Plus at locations like prague some more time to be give fpr prague castle , similarly time should be given more at budapest , because it had so much to see , may be at some places you may give atleast two days halt and cover less distances and give more time to see a place , like you can cut time from nice and last day of tour and can increase one day in prague or budapest or may be in Switzerland .Read full review
60% Tour guide in the Blue Line (Lex) was horrible

Our tour guide in the Blue Line tour (Lex) was so horrible. He slurs whenever he talks about something and sometimes, he talks about something that is totally unrelated to the tour. He talks about what he likes about the area and all, which.. is not something we tourists want to hear. He was also not good in providing directions and help for us to be able to maximize our stay in a specific city. Most of the time, he just leaves us right in front of a square with nothing to do. He talks about the places for us to see WHILE we were on the bus, so it was very hard for us to get a picture of how far away the nearest tourist spot is. We basically have to figure it out for ourselves. There was also one time when he looked like he was having a very bad hangover and he was not able to get us more details of what we can do in Salzburg. This tour guide is very very impolite as well; he won't answer questions from the tourists and when he does, he was very sarcastic! I hated this tour guide.Read full review
The price of the tour was extremely reasonable. That being said, the only major concern I had with the tour was that although the hotels were nicer than expected, they were almost always about 30 minutes away from the city in a deserted are..a. This was difficult because the bus usually drops you off around 7pm and therefore I struggled with finding a place to have dinner and to be able to enjoy the night life. The tour managers are truly just managers. Don't expect them to give details about the cities and monuments you are going to see; they simply walk you to the locations. I think that if they want to improve their service these managers can become more well versed in the history of some of the things so they can explain things. I also feel that one of the tour leaders would focus on giving his opinion about the Catholic Church and so on, that it was totally unnecessary. They don't speak really good English but you can understand for the most part. Other than that, I would say that it was totally worth it for the price I paid. Everything was beautiful. I felt that we had enough free time in each of the cities and were able to see everything that was described in the itinerary. The coach bus was comfortable and we had adequate air conditioner and movies were played during long rides and stops are made every two hours for bathroom breaks. Make sure to take into consideration the tip for the tour manager and city taxes plus other excursions you may want to take, we took most optional activities except the lunches and they were worth it. I would definitely take another tour due to the reasonable price.Read full review
This is a great tour to visit so many countries in a short time. European countries are next to each other so we don't have to seat in the bus for a long time to get to next country. Tour guys are great and very helpful.
