we had no problems booking and all questions were answered when we did call in for some questions

I felt rushed at each stop we went to with not a whole lot of time to enjoy the smaller towns. 1 and a half hours is not enough time at each stop wanted to see way more. getting a bite to eat and that took away time to look and see things. the location of some of the hotels you were way out of the main part of the city for the larger cities.

All was excellent and only factor that reduced rating is that GET's customer service is lacking. Did not respond timely when we reached out for help and we never received a reply when they texted us that they'd give us a response in 7 days on another urgent matter. May not use them again for future trip.

This was our fourth or fifth tour with get. Obviously with us coming back there many times we’ve enjoyed the experience.

Overall, it was very fun and enlightening and entertaining. Our travel Director was Vanessa and she was very knowledgeable and fun. I think it would be interesting if you added a wine tasting to the excursions or to be included in the overall tour.

Everything went smoothly.

It was a fabulous trip through 8 interesting countries. Our tour director did a wonderful job of explaining the history and connections of these countries. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in the Balkans. We also had a great driver of our coach - we were amazed by his skills.

Booking experience was fine. It was efficient and we appreciated the ability to pay over time instead of large up-front costs. We booked our own flights and did not need assistance. Follow-up emails were also helpful and appreciated.
Vacation
We picked this specific itinerary because it included the Orkney Islands, Isle of Skye and more remote destinations. Our driver, Paul, and tour manager, Michael, were excellent. The sites and experiences in Scotland were amazing. We saw ancient ruins, bagpipers, castles, highland cows, waterfalls and lush green hills. We did not sign up for all optional activities but enjoyed the ones we did. We especially enjoyed learning about Scottish culture and seeing young students do highland dancing just for our group. We even had haggis a few times.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to read that you found the booking process efficient and appreciated the flexibility of being able to pay over time. It is also great to know that you found the follow up communication helpful and that you were able to make your own flight arrangements with ease. We are especially pleased to read that the itinerary lived up to your expectations, particularly the opportunity to visit the Orkney Islands, Isle of Skye and some of Scotland’s more remote destinations. It sounds as though you experienced a fantastic variety of landscapes, history and culture, from ancient ruins and castles to Highland cows, waterfalls and traditional Highland dancing. We are also pleased to read your kind comments about your Travel Director and Coach Driver. We will be sure to share your recognition with the relevant teams. It is great to know that you enjoyed the optional activities you chose and had the opportunity to experience Scottish traditions, including trying haggis.

The tour events were great. Trafalgar switched some hotels on us which were not as good as the originally scheduled hotels. Some of the hotel dinners could have been better. Seemed like some of the optional experiences were overpriced for what we got. If you extend the tour you don’t get a credit for not using the airport transfers.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to read that you enjoyed the tour events and experiences overall. We are sorry to read about your concerns regarding the changes to some of the hotels and understand how disappointing it would be when the alternatives did not meet the standard of the originally scheduled properties. We also appreciate your comments regarding the hotel dinners and the value of some of the Optional Experiences. Your feedback regarding airport transfers when extending your stay is also appreciated. We understand your expectation that services not used might be reflected in the cost, and we will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant teams for consideration. Thank you for choosing Trafalgar and for taking the time to share your honest feedback. Your comments are valuable as we continue to review and improve the guest experience.

I have traveled the world and have never experienced such poor customer service.
Vacation
On the last day of our tour Mt Etna erupted and we were left to fend for ourselves. I was traveling with two 82 year old women. Insight provided no help at all. We spent thousands on a new flight, hotels, transport from Catania to Palermo, etc for a 5 day delay returning home. We should get some kind of reimbursement. AND, there was no contingency plan to assist our return home.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to read about the difficulties you experienced following the eruption of Mount Etna and the significant disruption to your return journey. We can understand how stressful and concerning this must have been, particularly while travelling with two 82-year-old companions and having to make alternative arrangements at your own expense. We understand your frustration that you felt unsupported at a time when you needed assistance, and we are sorry that your experience did not reflect the level of care and service you expected from Insight. Your concerns regarding the lack of assistance, contingency arrangements and the additional costs incurred are serious, and we will ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant teams for review. We appreciate you taking the time to bring these concerns to our attention. We hope that the opportunity to review what occurred will help us better understand the circumstances and identify where improvements can be made.

Country Roads of Portugal
Ronda H.
Review date: Monday, October 5, 2026
Service
Well, I included this in the previous portion, but I think Grand European Travel's travel specialists are exceptional. My travel specialist, Barbara Gardner, whom I have been booking with since 2017 (I have been booking with Grand European Travel since 2001), is the best!!! She knows what I want in trips, and she is very knowledgeable about various trips and things to do. Barbara is very responsive. I received an e-mail from TAP Air Portugal, changing my rerurn home flight to a day later, a few days before I was supposed to leave for Portugal. I called Barbara, and left a message asking her what I needed to do since it looked like I would be extended in Portugal for a day. She contacted very quickly, looked up my information, contacted her folks who handle the flight booking details, gave me options, and got me booked on an earlier flight, which got me home a few hours earlier than my original flight would have. So, the change worked out even better for me. Barbara was also very responsive to my needs when I originally booked the trip. I wanted to book the Country Roads of Portugal trip because some friends I met on another GET trip I took years earlier (the Greek Island Hopper tour) were going to be on this tour, and I wanted to meet up with them. The catch was I was also booked on an AMAWaterways Duoro River cruise right before the Country Roads of Portugal tour started. Barbara helped me get airfare to get me to the river cruise (that had nothing to do with GET), got me airfare to get from Madrid (where the AMAWaterways cruise trip ended) back to Lisbon (where the Country Roads of Portugal trip started), get me 3 days accommodations at the hotel where the Country Roads of Portugal tour started, booked my Country Roads of Portugal tour, and airfare back home. She also helped me prepay my tips and my travel insurance. Barbara, and the Grand European Travel staff, took good care of me! This is the reason I have continued making my travel with Grand European Travel and Barbara Gardner. I know the incredible service I get with Grand European Travel (GET), and I have been booking with them since my very first trip in 2001, right before I started law school - and I went with my Dad who had always dreamed of going to Germany. The exceptional service is why I refer my friends, who have now traveled with GET, using Barbara Gardner's help, to various places (one to Ireland, and another to Scotland recently), and have recommended my entire family (some of whom have traveled with GET over the years) as well.
Vacation
Vacations always start with the booking, and I had the best travel agent, Barbara Gardner from Grand European Travel. Barbara was friendly, nice, knowledgeable, and helped me pick the perfect vacation trip to coincide with a river cruise I had already booked. She also made sure I had accommodations for the few.days in between the river cruise and the Country Roads of Portugal tour. The Country Roads of Portugal tour was fantastic. The places we visited were amazing. Beautiful sights. The food was excellent - delicious and very flavorful. And, of course, the various wines were exceptional. We saw the distinctly different regions of Portugal from the modern city of Lisbon (Lisboa) to the resort are of Algarve, to the wine region of the Douro Valley, and the port wine city of Porto which sits on steep, winding hills that start at the river. The river cruise optional excursion is a great way to see the beauty of the Duoro River as well as the beauty of old architecture fusing with more modern architecture. The travel director, Daniel Ferguson, was awesome. He was friendly, humorous, and very knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained all of the optional excursions and made suggestions to fit our needs and desires. Daniel also made sure all food allergy issues were taken account of at our meals, insuring our safety. He also recommended times when folks with driving sicknesses might want to take their medicine, due to the hills and windy roads - which they were very thankful for, reminding them well in advance to make sure no one ended up ill. The bus driver, Alfredo, was incredible. Alfredo was a very skilled driver. He navigated a bus in areas I would not want to drive my car - very narrow Roads; windy, curvy roads; tunnels designed for cars with barely enough room for buses; steep curves which required backing up and operating very close to hill edges as he drove the bus up or down the large hills (especially in the Duoro Valley region). Alfredo also assisted us in getting off the bus safely. This was an amazing trip, with an amazing team of folks who put it together. I always go through Grand European Travel (for over 25 years now, as my first trip with them was in 2001), because I know the efforts their folks put into ensuring amazing tours. And one of the biggest parts is keeping me informed of what is going to happen, which starts at booking, with Barbara Gardner giving me detailed documents and brochures about the trip, and keeping me informed through e-mails. It continues with the travel director, Daniel Ferguson, keeping me informed with a daily schedule of what will be happening and verbal information about times for departures the night before, information on optional excursions, and other details. The system Grand European Travel has is very efficient and effective. But if a person still has questions, they can call and will find Grand European staff very responsive.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We are especially grateful to read about your long-standing relationship with Grand European Travel and the trust you have placed in our team since your first journey in 2001. It is wonderful to read how much support you received from your Travel Specialist throughout the booking process, particularly when coordinating your Portugal tour around your river cruise and arranging your flights, accommodation and other travel details. We are also pleased to read how quickly your Travel Specialist assisted when your return flight was changed, helping to find an alternative that ultimately allowed you to arrive home earlier. Your continued loyalty and the recommendations you have made to friends and family mean a great deal to us. We are equally pleased to read that the Country Roads of Portugal tour exceeded your expectations. From Lisbon and the Algarve to the Douro Valley and Porto, it sounds as though you enjoyed a fantastic variety of scenery, culture, food and wine. Your kind comments about your Travel Director are particularly appreciated. We are pleased to read that their knowledge, humour and attention to detail helped make the journey so enjoyable, while their care around food allergies and thoughtful advice for those affected by motion sickness helped ensure everyone felt safe and comfortable. We are also grateful for your recognition of your Coach Driver. Navigating the narrow, winding and steep roads of the Douro Valley requires considerable skill, and it is great to read that you felt so safe and well supported throughout the journey. Thank you once again for your continued loyalty to Grand European Travel and for recommending us to your friends and family. We are grateful for the confidence you have placed in our team over the years and hope to welcome you on many more journeys in the future.

Great trip-saw so much in a short amount of time. Tour director and driver were excellent. The time at Bath was cut very short and I was disappointed I had to rush to see anything there.

We are sorry to read that the time in Bath felt too short and that you had to rush to make the most of your visit. We understand how disappointing this would be, particularly when visiting a destination, you were looking forward to exploring. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for consideration. Thank you for choosing Trafalgar and for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Been traveling with GET and sister companies for many years and I always plan to book the next trip with you as well. In fact, I already did! That should tell you all you need to know.

Our tour director and driver were exceptionall! Itinerary was great. The only criticism I have is that not enough time was given for the 2 places I wanted to see the most-Stonehenge and Bath-especially Bath. It was a whirlwind tour with little time for leisure, but a lot was packed into the gogo pace.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued loyalty to Grand European Travel and our sister companies. It is particularly meaningful to read that you have already booked your next journey with us. Your continued trust and support over the years mean a great deal. We are pleased to read that you enjoyed the itinerary and found your Travel Director and Coach Driver to be exceptional. We are also sorry to read that you felt the time at Stonehenge and, particularly, Bath was too limited. We understand how disappointing this must have been when these were the places you were most looking forward to visiting. While the itinerary allowed you to experience a great deal in a short time, we appreciate that the pace left little opportunity for leisurely exploration. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for consideration. Thank you again for choosing Grand European Travel and for allowing us to be part of your travels over the years. We look forward to welcoming you on your next adventure.
