This tour with all its sights and activities was great! But it was truly our guide Bailey & our driver Tomasz that made it extraordinary!

I was a little nervous to travel to Europe alone, as a single woman. I had a friend recommend that I try a tour instead of a solo adventure. I'm so grateful I went this route instead and had Rianna as my tour guide. She made us all feel very comfortable, especially me since this was my first time traveling by myself. Our tour group did not disappoint and I got to meet so many amazing people from around the world. I would highly recommend Rianna as your tour guide. Before booking your tour, make sure she is the lead.
