Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My husband and I hesitated to spend the extra money to work with a travel agent for our trip to Europe, but we are so glad we did! This being our first trip abroad, we needed help with the planning and logistics, and the the travel team made the trip so enjoyable by taking away a lot of the stress.

Our guides were very knowledgeable. It was such a pleasure to have local guides who could take us to not just the main tourist attractions, but also smaller, out of the way sites that we found very interesting.

Having all of our train tickets purchased in advance and all of our transfers scheduled was such a relief!

Our agent and his team provided us with excellent service. They were available before and during the trip to answer any questions we had. It was truly a pleasure to work with them!

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

It's hard to pick a favorite part of our trip because all of it was enjoyable, but some of the things that really stand out are:

The tour of the Norfolk Villages - it was so great to get out into the countryside and see a bit of the "real" England. I specifically requested a visit to Heydon Village because my ancestors are from there. Graeme did an excellent job of arranging that visit. We loved staying at the Heydon House Stable Cottage. It was so charming and quiet! Quite a contrast from the hustle and bustle of London.
Provence - what can we say? Provence was absolutely magical! The sites, the food, the people - all were amazing.

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

We might try to build in a "free" day or rest day. We asked to see a lot of sites during our trip, since this was our first trip to Europe, and the travel team made sure to include everything. But it made for a busy 10 days, and if we do go back again we will make our itinerary a little lighter.

If we go back to the UK we would like to consider staying somewhere slightly outside of the city of London - within an Underground stop or two - just because we enjoyed the countryside so much. London was fantastic, but we found the villages to be incredibly charming, so would probably want to stay a bit away from the city next time.
