I was very uncomfortable dealing with her from the start, as she had a odd condescending attitude which is strange since we were spending a lot of money with GET. I was going to ask for a different agent, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
Vacation
It was the most expensive vacation we have ever taken and the very worst! The hotels were awful, the food even worse except for the fish and chips. The airline was booked with British Airlines, however we got code shared out to American Airlines which has tired old planes, bad food, even worse service with old worn out union flight attendants. We were jammed into a tour bus with 50 other incredibly boring sheeples, almost all were from Canada (how did that happen?), a few from Australia/New Zealand, and only a few (5-6) from the USA. The very first night at dinner we sat across from a Canadian couple, and it turns out the woman was very sick, so two days later so was I (really what dumb luck), and later 80% of everyone on the bus was sick too.. The only saving grace was the beautiful UK countryside, the Scottish Highlands, and some interesting historical towns with Roman and British ruins. We wanted to see the UK and we saw it, and we try to remember the positive experiences. But wow, what an very uncomfortable trip.

Rebecca was very good and helpful, especially after date changed
Vacation
Had the date changed with 4 weeks notice. All worked out. Tomasso was a fabulous tour guide. However, we all agreed that the last 2 days seemed like filler just to get us back to Rome to end the trip. NOT leaving at 8 those mornings, for an extra 2 hours of relaxation would have changed everything. All guided tours were fine, except for the Villa on the last day - guide was horrible, condescending, impatient, and exploration should have been on our own. Also, rotating bus seats is great, but not when sitting in between same people for 12 days. All other trips have provided variety of seat mates to expand social opportunity
Amazing Spain and Portugal

Booking with Grand European Travel was easy and effortless. They are a great team.
Vacation
We had such a wonderful Hawaii vacation, and Grand European Travel made it all so easy. Each stop had its own charm - Twin Fin in Waikiki gave us that lively beach vibe, and everything was within walking distance, Outrigger Kona Resort felt peaceful and relaxing (we had a wonderful time snorkeling with the Manta Rays), and the Hyatt Regency in Maui was perfect and comfortable (we free snorkeled and saw sea turtles and tropical fish). The hotels were well chosen, and everything from transfers to excursions ran smoothly. A special shout-out to out travel director (Harry), who kept everything organized and really made the trip feel effortless. There was a lot of great places we visited, The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Oahu’s North Shore, and Pearl Harbor were a few of my favorites (too many to list). The overall cost of this vacation was what one would expect for a Premium Hawaiian vacation. Thanks for helping us create such great memories!

It was simply amazing. Our Tour Director, Gordon Spicer was responsive, responsible and took care of even some challenging situations. He was humorous and helped connect our group. As far as GET is concerned, everything was done well and we are as satisfied with this tour as we were with out first one a few months ago. As far as Trafalgar is concerned, I personally would rate it lower than Insight. The hotels selected left much to be desired. The Crowne Plaza in Rome was good. The FH55 in Florence was small but clean, but the breakfast was an "economy" breakfast specially customized for Trafalgar. The hotel in Venice was the last straw on the camel's back. There were steps up and down and the room was small and stuffy, since the air conditioner was already switched off for the season. We tried to open the window and it opened out to the service area with wanter and drain pipes. It was definitely very disappointing, to say the least. The best part was that our flight back home was cancelled and we were rebooked for the next day, by United and given a hotel for a night. That hotel was the best of all the hotels. I am sorry, I don't mean to complain, but expressing my feedback. Compared to our previous tour with Insight, the group size was almost 50% larger. All in all, Insight seems a better choice. Neither Trafalgar nor Insight is bad, Insight is what we liked better.
