Review: Luxury European Trip, England, France, Netherlands, Paris, London, Amsterdam

I normally don't bother writing reviews,  but in this case I decided to.   We planned a vacation visiting 3 cities in Europe.  I understand issues happen , for instance one of our transfer misunderstood the time are we were scheduled to be picked up 1 hour later than our arrival.  I called,  they arrived in 30 minutes.  The wait didn't bother me at all, mistakes happen.

But, what upset me on this trip was things were changed after we had already arrived in Europe.  For instance,  we were originally told we would stay in 1 of 2 hotels in Amsterdam during the planning phase of our trip.  Once we paid we were told we were staying in a particular hotel.   We were in France before Amsterdam, and while we were there we were told the hotel was full and we were staying in another hotel ( neither of the two we were original told ) .   This is around 60 days after we had paid for our trip.  The hotel wasn't a total dump, but it didn't compare to the hotel we were supposed to be staying in.  I did pass the other hotel and stepped in.   After 2 days, we moved to the hotel next door ( which I paid for at my owe cost ).

Another issue was we were scheduled to be on a train from Paris to Amsterdam ( first class ).  We were told after we paid that no trains could get us to Amsterdam in time before our first tour.   A car was going to take all 6 of us and our luggage to Amsterdam from Paris.   I can say from experience a car is a lot less expensive and not nearly as enjoyable for such a journey.  Well I'm no expert ,  that is why I hired a travel agent.   After about 5 minutes on the web, I found a train.  I forwarded to the travel agent, and very quickly I was sent train tickets which is what I originally purchased.

There were a few other little things,  but I don't mind things going wrong.   I just don't like paying for 1 thing and then getting something else.   I'm being nice giving 3 stars,  but I did enjoy Europe.
