1st-time traveler Remilda, traveled in Sep 2024

We have been to a lot of land tours in Europe but this is the first time we use your agency. This tour was an expensive one and we expected a good turn around for our money. But that was not the case. The hotels we checked in would at least take two hours from the places we...
