We have traveled with GET for 12 trips for the past 9 years, the travel reps are very knowledgeable and reliable. We enjoyed each trip, the fellow travelers are friendly and we make friends with them after the trip.
The hotel in Paris was far away from T station, it took more than 20 minutes to walk to the nearest station.

The booking experience went smoothly and I was kept apprised of the upcoming travel in a timely manner. I would use GET again and would highly recommend them to others.
Scotland is a beautiful country. Our tour guide and bus driver were excellent!! Very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland. No request seemed trivial, always very kind and helpful.

Timely and thorough. Quick response to questions.
Correspondence pushed bringing own water bottle but we weren't given instructions on where to fill them-only told we could buy glass bottles from driver. Not picking up after the Tatoo show was a copout. Other companies and cruises had their coaches there.
Not enough time for potty breaks, especially if there was a line.

Kaitlyn , our rep, was very professional and helpful. Answered emails in a prompt manner!
Loved the Tour Director, Steve. He was so knowledgeable about Scottish history and geography!! A wealth of information!! And a good sense of humor!! Made the trip more enjoyable!! Alan the driver did an amazing job on those narrow roads!! Hotels were good. Carrbridge was older but that was part of the charm! Food was good at all the hotels. Optional tours were great! Very enjoyable! The Be my Guest dinner was great fun!! Coach was clean and comfortable. The only downside was there was not enough time at Edinburgh Castle!! One hour and 45minutes was not enough! The military Tatoo was a once in a lifetime experience!! Fantastic!! All in all ... a fantastic time!

They were very responsive to all of my questions. I felt as if I was the only person booking this trip, and that they were tiring to make this my trip of a lifetime.
This was the way to go for a single person. You make friends to share your with. And thought you don't feel alone, there is time to be on your own.

The specialists were knowledgeable and friendly
We had a wonderful time! The tour guide was terrific! The pace was fast but we saw all we wanted to see. The accommodations were very nice. I would recommend this tour to anyone. But they would need to be able to walk up hills and stairs. It’s a bit physical.

the booking experience was great, easy and everything explained well.
the trip was good, well organized. A couple of the hotels were not as good as others. Now with a better understanding of the trip types, I would choose one that allowed more time in each place.

Easy to book. We were quickly contacted by Josh, who was our Travel Specialist. He stayed in contact and was aware of our needs throughout the process.
Awesome trip with beautiful countryside. Our tour director Mike D. was very informative and humorous. He was a delight to be with. His passion for Ireland and Scotland was evident throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this journey. Oh yes, and our bus driver, Sean, was the best we’ve had.

My husband took care of the booking but he was happy with the experience.
Michael Doughty is an excellent guide. The scenery was unbelievably beautiful and all the sites we visited were terrific. The service at the restaurant in the Macdonald Hotel in Edinburgh was terrible. At one of the other hotels (our guide knows which one) it took 2 hours for the dinner service.

After having booked so many trips through GET over the years, it's soo easy! We basically only have to pick the tour we are interested in doing either from your brochure or website, then we contact you and you take care of everything. All our information is in in your records, so we get all the discounts we are entitled too.
Spain and Portugal are different in many ways than all the other spots we've visited in Europe. And, Morocco - wow - it was a unique experience.

We booked this trip through GRTours, a sister company of Trafalgar Tours. The customer service representatives were very helpful. They answered all of our questions were answered timely and accurately.
This was a dream vacation! It far exceeded every expectation. Cem, our Tour Director and Guide was fantastic. He had such knowledge and pride in his country. Arif, our coach driver, was also fantastic. We had a wonderful trip and would take another trip with Trafalgar tours in a heartbeat!

GET provided a whole lot of documentation with very little explanation of what it was for.
In a word it was terrible. I filled out the Trafalgar comments form while I was there and meant to go into detail in a report to them when I got back. But I'm too busy with moving into a new house to do that right now. Suffice it to say that the van was totally inadequate for 8 people and luggage, no big windows for viewing, no big tires or heavy duty shock absorbers. The roads were unbelieveably bad!! All day long every day of the trip. The guide was very nice and knowlegeable but totally unorganized especially about lunches. And when Trafalgar changed the itinerary mid trip he didn't even let us know that until 9 pm the night before when we were expecting to stay another night in the hotel and do game viewing around that area. He also dragged us to another site to see the petroglyphs even the World Heritage site place for them was right at the lodge. The

We want to extend our thank you to your entire team for making the trip so enjoyable. From the planning stage up to the actual trip, things went really well without a hitch.
we had a wonderful time during this trip. However, "be our guest dinner" menu could have been better, perhaps more choices.

It was so easy to book the trip. I called GET, told them what we wanted and when we wanted to go and it was done. Also, I have a particular food I need to stay away from. My GET agent was very helpful in showing me how to make sure I didn't get it on the plane.
Our trip was so much fun. Our tour guide was great. He was knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend this trip.

Barb Gardner is my Travel Specialist but she is more than that to me. I have 100% confidence when I decide to take a trip and I consult her before make any decision, I was really nervous about this latest trip because I travel alone and I am not happy with airplanes. She provided me with enough confidence that I did not feel my flights at all. I believe in whatever she informs me regarding my travel arrangements. I always ask her several times and she always is very gentle in responding me as fast as is possible. I have recommended her to other of my friends and they have had the same feedback. I do not personally knows her but be sure that one day I will go where she works and give her my gratitude for trips that have been happened because of her being a responsible Travel Specialist. Congratulations for having her!
This has been the most wonderful trip I have had. Starting by the Director, Daisy A. who besides of being one of the most educated person regarding the history of the places visited, made this historic information, fun to listen and enjoy. The driver, Marc, is a pure French gentleman. Always with a big smile, took care of all of us and provide us with information regarding where to go for a best deal, Wonderful both of them. Congratulations for having them Regarding the places visited and the extra tours. they were extraordinary including the time that we could use to have our owntime to see and do whatever we wanted, Thank you for your coordination!

The representative spent time with me to explain what the itinerary consisted of and got me the best price and the most convenient time.

Our travel specialist booked our flights for us, in addition to our trip. For us being new to traveling internationally, we didn't know what questions to ask. We wish we would have known to reserve tickets/times at various places like The London Eye, The Louvre, St. Mark's Basillica, etc. Those are some things we would have liked to do while there, but were unable to get into any of them.
We had a wonderful time exploring Europe. However, we didn't know about reservations for places like Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, etc, so we missed out on all of those experiences. The optional excursion to Burano was our favorite experience of the entire trip! Second favorite was going up the mountain in Lucerne!

Excellent response. Personable and very helpful.
Excellent tour. Visited most desirable locations. Ashford Castle unbelievable. Best tour guide have ever had on a trip. Organized, loads of information and funny. Could not recommend higher. Only issue was lack of A/C in Dublin hotel. Other accomodations, perfect.

Inquirers should be given all pertinent info. Regarding trip, ex. Hotel will be outside of Paris, not in Paris...you will have to make arrangements yourself to travel to city .
Normandy only place worth going to and even then, we were not taken to museums and all beaches...not fond of seeing chateaus...see one see them all

Response from Grand European Travel:
We appreciate your feedback. The Jewels of France is a Cost Saver trip which has less inclusions and more time to do independent sightseeing. The hotels in this product are all outside of the city center. We do apologize if this was not made clear at the time you booked with us.

I.ve been with GET over 12 times, this trip was different,
49 people on the bus, Handicapped in wheel chair, kids too, if one did not opt for all optionals, we were let out on the street corner.
I enjoyed the info ,knowledge of the Director ,but we felt herded in or out of events,
I liked the Agenda but maybe it needs to be more days???

Booking the tour was simple and we were helped by Rob Rainwater throughout our pretour phase. This was our first bus tour and we were somewhat apprehensive, but we found the tour to be comfortable and exciting. Our tour guide was highly informative and helpful. The meals supplied and the hotels were all better than we expected. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. By the way, we met many nice people on this tour that we expect to have future activities with.
The tour was wonderful in all respects.

Easy to reach my travel consultant who was pleasant and knowledgeable. Had a bit of confusion on whether to book airline through GET or on my own but it worked out.
Almost all of the trip was wonderful and more than met my expectations. The hotel in Thurso was subpar with old and worn décor, a huge bathroom with mostly empty space and a shower too small to even close the door easily. I get that there's little to choose from in Thurso but this was a miserable experience topped off by a hairdryer that caught fire when used. Their food, however, was excellent; some of the best of all the hotels we stayed in and the people were very nice.

Only one hour hour was provided for lunch and to visit places of interest in the towns.We were told to buy a take out, sandwiches wrapped in plastic etc., buy a drink and try to find a place to sit and eat, even when it was raining. Not enough time to eat in a pub and visit the town. When asked for an extra half hour, the tour director made a very sarcastic comment.
On one occasion our hotel room was so hot we had to get fans and leave the door to the hall open. We could not open the window very much and the bathroom, extremely small, was almost a sauna.
The tour director, although very sarcastic to myself and my partner, was very knowledgeable except she made an error on an occasion and when told, in private, about the error, her reply again was sarcastic!
The bus drivers were great as were the city guides.
In Edinburgh, the Royal Yacht Britannia, was not offered as an excursion! We chose to omit the ghost tour for this icon of history!

Response from Grand European Travel:
We apologize that the schedule for this trip left you feeling rushed. The Travel Directors do need to stick to a somewhat tight schedule in order for the daily sightseeing to be completed on time. We will share your feedback with our team, however, in hopes they can make some improvements.

It was great. Great hotels.
The only negative was the far off-site parking of buses at destinations, requiring excessive walking to the actual destination.
Great hotels and excellent tour guide.

Very easy booking experience once I realized I had to book flights by phone. I was trying to do it all online but the airline part kept not working. Once I spoke with someone I was able to complete everything.
I loved everything that was offered. Even purchased a few extra excursions and they were well worth it. My 80 year old mother was able to keep up with everything, I was very grateful. Marina was absolutely wonderful, one of the best tour directors I have ever had.
