Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip started in Prague for 3 nights, then to Vienna for 3 nights and ended in Budapest for 4 nights.
We started our process well in advance to ensure we had a trip to remember and to tie into our international travel plans.
The team at the travel agency gave us lot of ideas to work with and we quickly had a wonderful itininary.
Over the months before we travelled there were several changes required due to the local operators no longer offering the activity or it being moved to another date. Each time, we received immediate notice and a few alternatives as a replacement.
The day before we travelled we were advised that there would be work on the Vienna - Budapest railway and again we were able to make alternative arrangements.
Whilst on the trip we also had a time change and a guide change - and again we were immediately advised.
It is very comforting to simply relax and enjoy the trip, knowing that you have a competent partner keeping an oversight over your trip and the activities planned. This was most professional and we will definitely be using this travel agency again in the future.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Every aspect of our trip was memorable.
The hotels were all of a very high standard and were very well located and within walking distance of virtually all our planned activities - a big plus.
We arranged for walking tours in each city and these were great to get some orientation, see some of the local sights and to understand some of the history of the city and country.
We saw most of the major tourist sights, and enjoyed a dinner on the Danube which was amazing as well as a birthday celebratory dinner at a Michelin star restaurant in Budapest.
We were pleased to have arranged transfers from airports to hotels and back again and not to have to worry about taxis or local transportation - again removes a potential headache.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Our itinerary was very busy by design and choice given the number of activities we wanted to do and the available time we had for the trip. However, once we were in each city we found a number of other activities we would have liked to do. Some we were able to fit in, but some we could not. Therefore it would have been great if we had an additional day in each city with "free time" to do some of these other things.
Our itinerary included walking maps from our hotel to the activity which was most helpful. However, we soon learned that we needed to add in additional time due to road closures, a cycle race and taking a few wrong turns. We also did not realise that for some activities we only had a reservation confirmation and not an actual ticket - this often required a queue to exchange the reservation for the ticket which again added to the time we needed.
However, we would have kept the substance of our trip exactly as originally planned.
