We enjoyed our tour. We had also the chance to be escorted by 3 different tour guides: Mano, Mickey and Daniel. Mano and Daniel were more professional and provide us more tips about the places we were visiting and also better instructions a..nd precautions.
All hotels we stayed in were very good and also the optional activities we took with the tour. This was our 4th tour with Tours4fun and we really like these tours. In this tour I want to request also to have more time in Amsterdam, this is a city for which the time arrange in the tour is very little in comparison with some other cities.Read full review
Our tour managers (Lex and Danny) were warmly accomodating and well verse with the historical significance of every itinerary. Our drivers (Edwin and i forgot the other) are very professional. Overall, loved the tour
Although our visit to the Europe countries was during Summer season, most of the hotel accommodation were without air-conditioning especially when the temperature hit above 40 degrees in Paris. This made our stay uncomfortable and brought ..us an unforgettable bad memory.Read full review
Overall, a very good experience. Value for money, good itinerary, fair hotels and fun and caring guides (except for one - Brandon who in my opinion is very cynical and almost condescending).
Brandon was our guide from Frankfurt to Paris ..on July 22-24. He seemed to be always in a hurry and not care. He came across as if he did not want to be there. When I asked him a question, he would be in a hurry and say that's a personal question and would not entertain it at that time. But the question was about our intention of not going with the bus tour at night after the scheduled itinerary because we're going to a friends home for dinner in Amsterdam. He believed this was not a "business" question so he wouldn't answer it then for at that time he was only entertaining business questions. It's not that fact that he's prioritising questions but his way of speaking, it was abrupt and as said earlier, almost condescending. When I asked where was the voted best “French Fries” in Amsterdam - he answered abruptly and curtly, it’s not French fries, we are not in France. Very unfriendly and not “guide -like”.
Brandon was an unpleasant experience considering just the day before we had Lex who was our guide from Zurich to Frankfurt on July 21-22. Lex was excellent, nice, helpful and funny! We had fun just being in the bus for hours (there was an accident in the highway from Titisee to Frankfurt and we were stuck in the highway for 2 hours) because he made sure we were comfortable, informed and yes, even entertained.
Mickey our guide in Paris from July 24-26 was also great. Mickey was helpful, informative and answered all our questions that we had. She made sure we were taken cared of and when the Paris Hotel did not have airconditioning in the middle of the heatwave, she was even able to work with her company Eugogo to treat us to the River Seine Cruise for free to lift our spirits up. This act which may be considered by many as not enough to compensate AC issue, was very much appreciated.
Again, we’re happy overall and would recommend this tour.Read full review

Overall it was a great tour! Lex was a great tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and openly shared a lot of information with us.
The trip was the most economical way for our family of 7 to see eastern Europe. By then end, everyone was ha..ppy with the trip and learned the places they want to see again and which places they had seen enough of.
The biggest issue i had was, when we went to several of the cities we were simply dropped off in the middle of a shopping center/plaza and told to meet the bus in 2-3 hours. To me, it would have been better drive us around the city, show us the major attractions, have a photo stop or 2, and then give us 60 -90mins of free time for shopping and food.
Some the hotels lacked what i would consider essentials, like a hot water kettle, coffee cups etc. Additionally, most of the hotels were well outside the city center and had only fast food diner dinner options nearby.
None of these things were trip breakers for us, we made do and adjusted as needed.Read full review
Everything was organise. Tour leader and driver is experienced. Most important things are told before hand. Hotel in Frankfurt and Amsterdam is very good but not Paris which is way below par.By adding a bit of tour fees for changing to a la..rger hotel in Paris will make a big difference.Read full review
