Here is just one example of our 40,000+ reviews via our third party quality assurance partner Feefo. We loved this tour, having three days in each place was great. We felt our itinerary included everything that should be seen as first time visitors to each of the three cities. Hotels were all in great locations that allowed us to explore on our own. They were a mix of styles. Especially loved the one in Vienna... we felt it truly reflected the culture and ambience of the city. The optional experiences offered were perfect!
